7. Health considerations
Ionizing radiations has higher energy and
the potential to ionize atoms ,posing more
significant health risks.
UV Radiation and sun exposure.
Medical Imaging
Wireless technologies.
Occupational exposure.
10. Effects in eye
Ultraviolet Radiation [UV]:
UV Radiation ,particularly from sunlight, can contribute to
eye conditions like cataract and macular degeneration.
Blue light exposure:
Prolong exposure to blue light emitted by digital screens and LED
lighting causes digital eye strain ,disrupted sleep pattern and long
term effects on retinal cells.

12. Radiation from Devices:
Electromagnetic radiation emitted by electronic devices like computer
, smartphones and tablets emits non ionizing radiation which causes eye
discomfort and fatigue.
13. Preventive measures
Using blue light filters while using electronic
gadgets like mobile phones ,laptops etc
Following 20-20 rule while using electronic
devices
Proper lighting conditions in work and living
space.
15. Occupational considerations
Using eye protection in occupational settings
where there is risk of exposure to intense light or
radiation , such as welding or laser works .
17. Conclusion
It is important to understand the effects of
electromagnetic radiation, particularly from
sources like mobile phones , on our eyes is crucial
for promoting eye health in the digital age. While
the evidence suggests potential concern such as
digital eye strain, blue light exposure, and other
discomfort , it’s important to approach this topic
with a balanced perspective.
