A new Feature for mobile phones, the operating systems iOS13 and Android 10 is in the dark mode, the so-called Dark Mode. He should preserve especially the eyes. If this works, however, is not clear: In a press release of the University hospital of Münster, a senior physician at the eye clinic this is at least in question.
The constant view on the Smartphone to facilitate, through the small distance from eye to screen is a short-sightedness, the medicine is sure. Smartphone manufacturers want to address this strain on the eyes with the dark mode: the backgrounds dark and text are represented by a light.
The eye doctor Dr. Natasa Mihailovic can’t confirm the effectiveness of this feature. There are no medical studies or publications that demonstrate that a display of white-on-black would protect the eyes. Instead, the eye doctor recommends, as much as possible Outdoors. Daylight could reduce the risk of short-sightedness considerably: Already forty minutes of additional Outdoor inhibit progressive myopia to 20 percent, according to Mihailovic. Who spend two hours a day outside in the Bright, lower the risk even to the half of it.
