iPhone 4 here. That's part of the reason I use it so much -- it's so easy to use and a pleasure. I can't stand my pc now lol. My typing on a full keyboard has actually gotten really bad -- I'm super-fast on my iPhone, tho.
I mean, if not for the eye thing, I think it's better for me than a pc -- doesn't have me bending forward or sitting at a desk for hours on end. But this eye thing is really bad
Also, I asked the doc if I got the surgery, would my continued use of the iPhone cause the same problem again, but she didn't think so.
Will have to see what the specialist says, though. This is all so bizarre for me. I never imagined getting an iPhone would do this to me. And yet I'm too attached/addicted to give it up, of course.
It's not the phone... I think it is a condition that was passed on but remained hidden until now. The reason why people have the myth going about electronic displays damaging your eyes is because screens used to have a really low refresh rate which did in fact damage your eyes... But... The new screen technology refreshes at a faster rate then our own eyes so you don't have to worry about a screen damaging your eyes.
But in my situation, I don't think it's so much what's on the screen, as that I'm staring at a small thing right in front of me for hours a day. So my eyes are getting used to looking at only things right in front of my eyes. In fact, my iPhone right now is pretty much the only thing I could look at right now without seeing double -- which continues the cycle, bc it's uncomfortable for me to look at other screens, etc, that are farther from my face. So I keep doing it. Oh and my glasses make everything worse, so if I'm looking at something close up like my phone, book, or writing something, I take my glasses off. But can't do that for anything else, bc it'd be too blurry. I thought that was bc my glasses were designed for the way my eyes used to be positioned, and now they're not fitted properly for this condition.
That was my theory, anyway. Was surprised the doc didn't agree.
So the specialist said the iPhone could not have caused my problem. I asked like 10 times. It's all a coincidence apparently. And I was so sure that's what it was....
Still not sure what's causing it yet, tho -- need more tests.
I haven't dealt with them in so long that years ago when I got them Imitrex was not widely prescribed and then I stopped getting them so I never needed it. Now I'm reluctant to try different meds mostly because I'm a big old hippy who steers clear from meds if at all possible.
I've tried not playing as much but it's so addictive that I keep going back! lol. I have been taking more breaks, though, and I'm not having as many back to back so maybe less play is helping? I'll look into the meds further, though, if they keep up.
Les, I hope you get some answers soon. This must be scary.
Thanks Pandamoni. It is -- but my mom's the one freaking out and getting me all paranoid.
Lesrider, it's nothing to be worried all too much about. Phone screens can't really damage your eyes and eye surgery is so precise now, that there is almost nil chance of error. You will be fine, I can almost guarantee it No worries. Akuna Mattata (Whatever that Lion King catch phrase is)

I'm 15 and ever since I started using my iPod a lot my vision has been getting blurry and harder for me to focus. I'm originally nearsited but now I can't see clearly at all. I'm unsure why this is happening.
(my eyes have problems from my laptop) My eyes have so much LED damage.. stupid of me to WASTE 5 years of my life on RuneScape.. (that game absolutely sucks, wasted my life, destroyed my eyes and theres nothing i can do about it..)
Bringing back the wave!

Do you also have problems or pain opening your mouth wide? If so getting your wisdom teeth out might help the TMJ which in turn helps the double vision issue.
I have pain in my jaw when opening wide, could be TMD. I also have double vision when after using or reading on the iPhone. It goes away after about 30 mins.
my eyes pain bad when i watch ipod to much idk why yyyyyyyyyyy
MY LIFE IS MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND NOTHING ELSE AS FOR THEM I COULDNT EXCEED IN MY LIFE TY GUYS FOR HELPING ME AS MY MOTO SAYS Without you i am a spec of dust
Because you are staring directly at a light source rather than on an object deflecting light. When light gets deflected, its energy is split in many directions and the light that hits your eyes is only as powerful as a fraction of the total energy from the light source.
Your device produces light as well, its an illuminator. Looking at it is like looking at a lightbulb, its complete energy is focused in all directions including your eyes. Prolonged exposure can literally burn out the delicate visual receptors in the back of your eyes causing permanent vision damage. Although phones are made with a limited amount of lumens so the light energy coming from your phone isnt powerful enough to cause much damage with moderated use. But excessive exposure could still cause eye strain and vision damage.
