My WINDOW to the world.
One of the most intricate part of the human system is the eye. Oh my precious eye what can i do without you. One may begin to wonder where this thought is leading, but to think of it, can we actually create posts or comments without the eye?, I don't think so.
What measures then have i taken to protect this view? Am not refering to myself alone but to every hivers in this community. There can only be one window in every person's view.
As we strive daily through our robust schedules using our phone and laptop to interact in proofofbrain, have we also taken cautions to protect this ultimate member?, That takes me to the danger of blue ray lights emitted from phones and computers to the eye.
"Blue light emitted by smartphones and laptops accelerates blindness by making a molecule in our eyes toxic, according to a new study.
The team found that shining blue light on eye cells transforms vital molecules into a cell-killing poison that can lead to age-related macular degeneration, one of the biggest causes of blindness worldwide.
"We are being exposed to blue light continuously, and the eye's cornea and lens cannot block or reflect it."
How then can we deal with this menace
It is not enough treating defects but protecting and preventing it from damage is key. Just as the saying goes "prevention is better than cure".
"Protecting eyes from computer screens and smartphones is more important than ever, but effectively tackling the problem is more about prevention than treatment.
Digital Eye Strain (DES) is more common today than ever owing to the fact that virtually everybody uses a screen in daily life."
Preventions
". Use The 20/20/20 Rule
Your eyes aren’t designed to stare all day at something directly in front of you. With the rule,
If you look at the screen for 20 minutes, you must look at something at least 20 feet away from you for 20 seconds. The longer you look away from your screen, the better
. Ensure Your Room Is Well Lit
. Have Regular Eye Exams
. Reduce Glare"

I have been referred to your post by a person who recommended you to me in my monthly contest. Unfortunately, I have noticed that a large portion of your article appears to have been plagiarised and I, therefore, cannot include you in the contest. I note that you have cited two sources in your article but it is not clear from your presentation that most of this article has actually been lifted word for word from other articles until you delve into the articles themselves and appreciate that it is only your introductory paragraph and the odd sentence that are your original work.
Please do have a read of the following articles as recommended by leaders in our Proof of Brain community and refrain from copying large pieces of text from the works of others and claiming it as your own or you risk being downvoted or worse by the community.

Thank you i appreciate, it was ignorance on my own part , not knowing how to properly make reference, i have corrected the references and neccessary changes have been effected. Please do go through once again for any other irregularities that i might have ignorantly overlooked this time. I will sure go through all the recommended guides especially
Will also work on improving myself to make more meaningful contribution to the community in future.
Thanks for your understanding.
I'm still finding it hard to check a good protective glass lens for my eyes, most of those glasses we thought are protecting our sight are actually not doing us much good.
Dear hivers, i will be looking out for a good recommendations of which and what works for your eyes.
A good glass with anti blue ray protection would be a good one. Ask any vendor around your vicinity for anyone that have such feature.
Although sometime its expensive but you did surely get a nice one.
I will try that thanks🙏

You're article is plagiarized. However, it is not plagiarized because you failed to include a source for your article.
