Cell Phones, Eyesight, and Memory: The Impact of Screens on Our Vision
In Cell Phones, Eyesight, and Memory: The Impact of Screens on Our Vision, host Harith Iskander explores how smartphones and other screen devices are affecting our eyes and memory. When we hold our phones close to our faces, it strains our eyes and can cause them to become more elongated, leading to vision problems like myopia (nearsightedness). Additionally, overusing technology can also impact how the brain stores and processes information. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Got Science?, a science magazine series that explores and explains science in everyday life.
