Light/version problem

Btw, what helped me after a week of inability to see anywhere except near me was a simple parallel view stereogram. It unclenched my eyes back in 10 minutes. That is when I understood that it is not an accomodation spasm but broken vergence (or maybe broken accomodation reflex that includes both accomodation and vergence, and pupil).

Then I realized what influences a lot of healthy people with no eye issues is the same that influences people with some problems with convergence on this forum.

Broke string test shows that my vergence is excellent, and both eyes work.

Unlike many of you, me and a lot of people on russian-speaking tech forums are feeling effects of light or brightness. For me these effects are very severe, after looking on new phone some real-life objects change their color to neon. Bright objects like windows or white things are printed for a long time on retina. Phone screen feels like brightest object in the room. Looking at lights at night becomes super painful. My pupils look super tiny in usual environment instead of medium. Even if these effects are not present after prolonged eye rest, white screen on these phones somewhere near me could give me pain.

All these effects are triggered by screen light emission of some particular phones. After three weeks of exposure it takes up to three weeks to things return to normal. Vision recovers to excellent and I have no further problems with other screens. Unless I look again at these phones.

Stereogram did not help me with any light oversesitivity. It did not help me to use my phone, its screen immediately gives me back light issues and breakes vergence.

I haven't tested how far they can damage my eyes, if used longer than three weeks.

We desperately need someone who is professional in physics of light and optics.

…and yes, my pain with my perfect vergence starts in 1-2 seconds.

Привет ) а куда еще податься ))

So this is my story in brief.

I am absolutely not light sensitive. I have never been.

First time in my life I faced severe eyestrain after I upgraded my phone this spring to Samsung Note 10 lite. I tried software to reduce pwm, tried using it with 100% brightness and sold it after three weeks. It took another three weeks for me to recover.

This september I made second attempt to upgrade, checked everything that was present in the malls in the price range starting from $270 and found out that my eyes react with immediate severe pain to every single phone.

I was shocked, purchased S20 FE and started to research and test.

I cant help you with the monitor problems because:

1. My eyes do not react badly on any other of my tech, unless I was usIng a dangerous phone several days before
2. I generaly use noteboks, last one by year was 2017 MPB
3. I lIterally see on my retIna the result of phone usage, It temporarily damages photoreceptors of retIna, so that Is the sole reason of my temporary lIght sensitivity

I wonder how it manages to damage my retina without my brain registering this light, though I percieve it as bright nonetheless.

Right now I am writing from my tablet and nothing hurts, and 20 minutes ago I looked at my phone and felt eyestrain. I am light sensitive right now, led lights and light bulbs are a problem after phone usage, but my old tech is not.

What connects me to this forum is that something, and I blame this invisible light (that damages my retina up to red objects appearing neon orange next morning and light objects staying on retina for a long time, while pupils remain tiny and can't be blamed for this) also breaks my perfect vergence in mere seconds. I get impossible pain like not only eye muscles but even joints are breaking and inability to look far. This is something I never faced.

Nope! My eyes completely recovered after it.

My pain doesnt start immediately, when my eyes are ok it takes 20 minutes to 1 day to feel any symptoms. After that time my vision cant longer take the damage. Next time I look at the phone it takes few seconds, even if I look 1 minute per day.

I used samsung amoleds from the beginning. More than 10 years. You might check my 4pda post for much more details. My eyes literally recovered with another samsung amoled screen in constant usage.

Probably you never seen such a case because you monitor this forum and ixbt monitors thread, if my guess is correct.

You might want to check 4pda where a lot of people have problems with phones. The minority of them are like me and the majority have smaller problems which they attribute to amoled pwm, but no one actually checks pwm influence. (They are in the IPS vs AMOLED thread)

So things often go like this: a person purchases amoled phone and gets eyestrain. This person learns about pwm, complaints about it and purchases ips phone. This person gets eyestrain with ips display, complaints about it and gets responses like: this is a bad ips, find a good one; this is a wrong ips, find a good one; this is a bad matrix and this very model has another good matrix etc. The person tries 3-4 phones and eventually settles on something.

I suppose we all react on something in common, you, me, other people here and people on 4pda.

But:

• the intensity of some light characteristic
• and our individual sensitivity to it
• and our ability to compensate the breaking vergence
  are different.

Dear person who split the threads,

could you rename it into Light/version problem?

Thank you
