Ditched His Apple Devices: "Too Dangerous"

"The issue goes way deeper than PWM. It is about Temporal Dithering, and also the materials used in the screen panel, etc. Apple will face gigantic lawsuits. It may even lead to the deterioration of your optical nerve. I ditched all my Apple devices. All of it. Way too dangerous."

While this may seem alarmist. I would be curious if certain types of eyestrain lead to increase of IOP (glaucoma)

I don't blame him. I've also ditched anything that uses PWM or dithering when possible. My glasses help my PWM sensitivity significantly but I'm still worried that regular use of anything with this kind of flickering will cause long-term harm. We all know these companies have not done the necessary research to ensure this stuff is safe and I simply don't trust it based on personal experience.

Gwanatu You think the Moto Edge with flicker prevention is reasonably safe?

Keep in mind just using a smartphone close to your eyes for hours a day is known to be harmful to the eyes simply from the non-ionizing frequencies emitted by the phone: https://ledstrain.org/d/3607-non-thermal-electromagnetic-radiation-damage-to-lens-epithelium
