Blindness Due to Frequent Playing Cellphones in a Dark Place
The man known as Wang from Xian City, Shaanxi Province, China had to temporarily close his eyes. He experienced it due to an eye stroke. The cause is very unexpected, namely because of the habit of using a cellphone for playing games in a room that tends to be dark.
Wang often played games on his cellphone before going to sleep. It's just that the lights are still brightly lit in the room turned out to be quite disturbing his wife who was resting. Wang also chose to play it in a dark room so that his wife was sleeping.
Unfortunately, this actually very exciting activity began to have a bad effect on his eyesight. The condition of his eyesight decreased until he finally experienced blindness. He was then rushed to the hospital.
The doctor who examined Mr. Wang's condition said he was affected by retinal artery clusion or what could also be called an eye stroke. The cause of this health problem is the clotting of blood in the blood vessels of the retina. In fact, these blood vessels have a major role in the connection between the eyes and the brain. Luckily, Wang's condition can still be overcome. Because it is dealt with quickly, the blindness it experiences will not last permanently.
"I can only see with my right eye. It was also very opaque, "Wang said as quoted by SCMP.
The doctor who handled Wang, dr. Lei tao said that Wang's case was quite common. Every month, at least 20 patients experience the same thing. Most are young people who like playing their cellphones excessively.
"This habit can cause a sudden blockage of arteries in the retina and trigger blindness. More and more cases are happening and most of them are young people who really like to use gadgets, "explained dr. Lei
