The University Complutense of Madrid (UCM), one of the oldest Universities in the world, presents the results of its latest research confirming the irreversible damage to animals’ eyes caused by light emitted from digital screens. This groundbreaking report analyzes and compares the results of a study exposing the retina of rats to tablet screens emitting white LED light with and without filters, proving that light causes cell death in the retina, and can lead to loss of vision.
The quantitative analysis shows that after three months of exposure (life expectancy of these rats is between 7-10 years) to white LED light, animals exposed to tablets experienced approximately a 23 percent increase in retina cell death.
