@dr.ilancohen: Your phone isn’t “ruining your eyes.”
It’s often locking your focusing system into a near-only position — accommodative spasm. The 20-second reset:
Every 20 minutes → look 20 feet away + 10 hard blinks.
That relaxes the focus lock and restores the tear film (because you barely blink when you scroll). But here’s the line you cannot ignore:
⚠️ Flashes (lightning bolts), a sudden shower of floaters, or a dark curtain/shadow is not screen fatigue.
That can be retinal traction or detachment → same-day emergency evaluation. Save this so you know the difference.
