LCD monitors/tvs/phones Cause SEVERE Eye Problems. (FACTS PROVIDED)

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hello, I'm basically here to explain my discovery with using phones, or anything with LCD technology (which is like everything these days). In hopes to save your eyes and maybe figure out a cure.

Now obviously this doesn't apply to everyone because everyone seems to be using their phones and monitors and tv's fine.

But here it goes.. When I was about 24, I decided it was time to upgrade my old CRT Monitor and buy a new widescreen LCD monitor, I noticed a bunch of problems as soon as I got it. I was teary eyed, Itchy Eyes, Pain behind the eye. I read that your eyes take a while to adjust to the new technology so I mistakenly stuck it out for awhile, over the course of maybe a month or something I had a vision full of floaters, weird peripheral vision (edges and lights were really weird) and severe pain behind the eye.

I stopped using the monitor and went to an ophthalmologist, I was the only one in there even near my age. I ended up having 3 tears in my retina in one eye and 2 in the other. A problem seen with boxers (trauma to the eye) and old people (eye degeneration).

I knew (despite the science at the time) it was from that monitor. I went back to a crt monitor, after a few months my brain crossed out the floaters and everything was seemingly back to normal.

About 3-4 years later I saw a deal one a LED 50 inch tv and bought it (completely forgetting about any problems with the technology, I want you guys to understand this isn't placebo in any way). within a couple days of using it everything from before started happening again, Weird edges, Floaters, Severe eye pain. I returned to the ophthalmologist to check my previous tears which had laser surgery prior, A surgery that scars the tear to help it hold. Everything appeared to be alright so I think I avoided problems by not continuing using the tv.

Again, I stopped using the technology and moved on with life, 3 years later and after doing some research I wanted to buy a monitor with newer technology (blue light filter, flicker free, etc.) because these are the problems I read that seemed like a likely culprit to causing the problem. So I bought one and AGAIN all the same issues occurred within a week of use.

I stopped, life went on and now I'm posting this because recently started using my phone (used it only for calls prior) and everything occurred again.

I want to state I have no eye problems other than this. I don't wear glasses, I have no problem looking at a crt, Literally can look at one all day and I use plasma TV's in my home which I can watch all day as well with no problem.

So I'm 100% sure the problem lies within me (genetically) and LCD technology which is in everything right now..

A) I want people feeling any of these effects to be aware of this

B) Maybe someone can solve the mystery of what is happening with liquid crystal display and the aforementioned issues. I thought It was blue light, but had the blue light filter glasses and a monitor that had blue light filter on. Then I thought it was because of the PWM flicker, I got a monitor that rid that as well. Then I thought maybe it had something to do with the static image, so I tried to run the monitor in blur reduction mode which essentially make it operate like a crt monitor refreshing all the time. Nothing helped but who knows maybe someone will be able to figure this out?

    A question of mine would be is it something in the technology, the actual liquid crystals, the way the screen doesn't flicker or the brightness causing this issue? I have tried low brightness which didn't seem to prevent any issues but it does seem to me brightness would be the biggest concern?
