We know that excessive use of our phones can damage our eyes. It’s just like reading while lying down.
They’re no-nos.
Unfortunately, this 15-year-old boy either wasn’t aware of that:
15YO Eyes Severely Deformed, Power 2,400 Degrees After Playing Too Many Mobile Games
According to Oriental Daily, a 15-year-old boy from China, whose parents are farmers and have no time to take care of him or ensure that he wears glasses, suffered severe eye damage.
The boy had a preexisting condition called congenital myopia, an eye condition that is present from birth.
His eye condition kept on deteriorating every year to the point where his myopia reached 2,400 degrees. This was aggravated by his mobile game addiction.
His right eye’s myopia reached 2,400 degrees while his left eye reached 2,300 degrees.
P.S. In case you haven’t grasped the severity of this, you can be in PES C in NS (non-combat) if your myopia is more than 1,000 degrees.
This meant that even if the size of words is large, he wasn’t able to read the words. He could only read them when they were placed 15cm from his face.
Perhaps the effects of playing too many mobile games wouldn’t have been so severe if he hadn’t had the condition to begin with.
Parents Brought Him To The Doctor Who Performed Surgery On Him
When his parents realised that his eyesight was rapidly deteriorating, they brought him for a checkup.
According to the doctor, the normal length of an average person’s eyeball is around 24mm, and for every 1mm increase, myopia increases by 250 to 300 degrees.
To their horror, their son’s eyeball length had reached 31.5mm.
The doctor then decided to perform a surgery on the boy to input a lens bt the back of his eye to prevent it from worsening.
The boy is only able to do an eye correction surgery when he’s an adult.
Let’s hope that he gets his eyesight corrected successfully in the future and that his condition doesn’t worsen.
