second comment lol
Hi
Unbox Therapy 🤔
Unbox Therapy hi you are great
I have heard using your phone while driving can cause blindness too.
Apparently it is a side effect of death.
😮
Michael Jay - Value Investing wow thanks dude
that's because the focal lengh of our eye keeps on changing because the phone is continuously shaking
True words
What a lie. I've died several times and my vision has still remained crystal clear. I hate how media outlets are constantly trying to change your thoughts and ideas.

Clash with Pokéfan facts
Clash with Pokéfan yeah😶
mee too broo
*_actually_*
Clash with Pokéfan nice reference there
What I did after this.
1) Turned my Night Mode to max warm
2) Switched everything to Dark Mode
3) Turned on Airplane Mode
4) Bought new pair of Uchiha eyeballs
As a respected member of society, can I ask where you got number four? Literally burning someone with my glare seems like a good gimmick to have.
Rasengan
a pair of hyuga eyes would be cool too
Overusing uchiha eyeballs can cause blindness too so be careful. If you truly want super vision then i recommend hyuga eyeballs
That's cool but I recommend implanting the tenseigan.
Near future you will have been "Unboxing" brand new "Smart eye balls".
This could happening
this is scary af snd this made me more scared because I’m already going blind 🤬
Real talk
I already got blinded by all the messed up stuff I've seen on the Internet

You could hire someone to tell you, if there's any blue light around you, so you could open your eyes
Your comment is /#*×¥#^$;$(÷^$^#,(@#;...... but you right tho
Sounds like a brilliant plan! Im with you!
Go ahead full throttle
Thanks for this Lew! I've set this on and told most of my office mates, they're using this right now. Very helpful.
Who else keeps their brightness to the lowest so that they don't spoil their eyes am I the only one???
In my opinion if your brightness is too low you are going to harm your eyes even worse, since they always have to struggle in order to read
My night mode is always on
I find anything higher than 1/3-1/2 on the slider is just waaaaaaaay too bright. Usually I keep mine at about 1/4 on the slider, it makes for a comfortable light level for me but not so much that it lights the room.
Put it on eye comfort

This according to me is the true potential of a channel with 12 million subs. Educating the public on matters that concern them .
He needs to put it out there that Stanley Kubrick filmed the moon landing: just kidding.
Yep. It's effective and I appreciate the info.
James Cox , yeah people like him should definitely come forward with these sort of content to make the audience aware of the other side of matter at hand too
Yes because his voice has weight as we come to him for knowledge and it's a perfect Segway for enlightenment. A good way to deliver public announcements. Like imagine all the tech reviewers such as Unbox Therapy mkbhd Mr. Mobile Michael fisher Jaime Rivera etc collaborating to deliver these really pressing issues to the youtube subs. I feel like there would be a big wave of response resulting in better healthier habits.
He has power with his channel, and while I appreciate his willingness to use it for the better, he really needs to expand on more than a single source. It's no use educating the public if the information is incomplete or inaccurate. One study simply isn't feasible.

Hats off to you 👍👍 You are the 1st tech guy to give a caution note about the tech(blue light).. Much appreciated..

Emanuel Rønningsland hmm... Blue light doesnt work, yellow light doesnt work either! How about red light?
Sabarikas Parikas Or maybe not light at all? Hmmm...
Just make iPhone screens black and white.
_____ Cmon man. Dont be that serious. Its just for fun. Well. The people who looks at this video will keep their sight.
Glad I’m subscribed to this channel..so informative,keep up the good work 👍🏽
That quote at end :

Why are you asking, is this a social experiment or survey?

*turns on blue light filter*
Rithwick Surya i had to turn it on cause of screen burn issue on my phone
Priyo M but will turning it on help? JA 😕
yes
so in this case would you turn on night mode/light filter at all times since it is bad for us regardless in the dark?
U have it on full opacity?
When you finally realized you’re addicted tp your phone: 👁👄👁
Love the video! Love your personality. Love authentic people. You're awesome. Put a smile on my face :)
1)Avoid using laptop,phone,tv in dark room
2)Use anti glare for working on laptop
3)Dont keep smartphone very close to eyes
It might not blind you but bad habbits can reduce eye power
Thank you very much for investing your time for the benefit of your subscribers 👍🏻✅
It's also good to keep down the brightness
What about VR. You have to put it soon close.
And doing the 20/20/20 rule to avoid a cilary muscle spasm (pseudo myopia), every 20 minutes, look at a thing that are 20 feet or more away.
Or just install an app or software that reduces blue light
so im not gonna go blind?
immediately turns on blue light filter

This is the video that made me put night shift on for a straight 2 years no joke I’m being serious, 24/7 night shift for the last 2 years
*Brightness level down!*
_Bob McCoy right 😂 mine be all the way down

If you decrease the brightness there's still blue light. What you need is a comfort/night light mode so the screen turns orange.
Noooooo that makes us eyes strain
I usually have mine really low
That`s why I don`t look to the sky anymore.
That's why I don't go out of my house.
you should not look at anything blue then
Dem Diamond What you experience as eye floaters could be two things. One particulates that have made there way onto the surface of your eyes lens, or quit literally energy. Studies have been done and have literally shown that some people can see energy in the forms of what many believe to be “eye floaters”. They have looked directly at the eye ball to determine if any particulates were present on the subject. And none were found. So either all their subjects hallucinated, or they were lying. That’s one reason you may not see them except when looking into the sky.
Many men, many, many, many, many men
Wish death 'pon me
Lord I don't cry no more
Don't look to the sky no more
Have mercy on me
OJIULUIJO Hmm 🤔
I'm an optometrist and this is accurate. Nice summary. Another option is to put a blue filter in your regular ophthalmic glasses at the purchase. It goes for around 40-50$ here in Canada. It is important to note that it gives a little yellow tint in the lenses though.
Thanks bro. Hope you're ok
Imma start just listening to podcasts now
For some reason when I close my eyes I can’t see.

What the uvwevwe question is that?
E P I C
Awesome stuff, Lou. Did you know though that apart from the potential to cause blindness, tech use and social media have ill effects on your mental health too? Device usage can be addictive on a neurochemical level, similar to drugs and/or alcohol. The sleep disturbances that come with device overuse can also lead to lower self-esteem and higher levels of stress, anxiety, and even depression!

Christian Angelo Mojica I also did that. Except that I put my blue light filter on maximum. My screen has such an orange tinge lol.
I need to do that too. Both my phone and computer has really high filter, but I'm just not sure if that's enough so I need to get my glasses some filter. Plus for no reason, my parents bought a gigantic TV...

I turned it on before this video
I'm using this for 5 days now used to make fun of my uncle wen his screen was orange now feel like a hypocrite but I gotta see more of Lew so gotta lose something😂
Me!
like the moment i saw this title , XD
Who else got scared at looking at this video? I was scared that I would get blind by watching this video. I'm still scared
Kevin Get used to shit like this as you get older.(I'm assuming you are younger) Even good intentions with health as you age, eventuay the body just deteriorates anyways. Getting back to blindness many many people get macular degeneration as they age anyways. Key is discovering it in it's early stage and they give you drops to slow it. My father is 83 and has it but uses drops and his vision is perfectly fine. In fact better than mine.
😂 I did look away from the video for a second to protect my eyes 😂😂
I was actually covering my eyes lol😂
im not that scared cuz my glasses have blue light blockers, which means i can pretty much use my devices forever without getting them damaged
It's only paranoia
Good video lew!
I turned the blue light filter on just to try it out for a day and at first I hated the way it looked but by the end of my test I got fairly used to it and decided to leave it on. Looks like it was a good choice.
Is it just me, or are your eyes hurting as well watching this video???
I’m sleepy so it doesn’t count
How do people know everything 😂

Stop liking the video ( it blinds you!!!)
Jayden 1805 yes it turns blue, we have to be cautious, thanks man!
I was about to like it😂
Now it turns white
@@SnowkipXD white is more brighter than blue
@@THE_CRUSADER007 exactly
all the more reason not to
I study Multimedia and Animation and the first thing I did was pick up a blue light reflecting glasses. I like my eye sight.
From what I've been told they have a UV coating on both sides and it reflects away blue light (High energy Light) from our eyes. The one I bought is just around 40 dollars.
Michael Himlin depend pends where you get them and the brand. Next time I go to get new glasses I am going to ask my eye doctor.
In conclusion , all nice things are bad for our health
Relax just be more tea totally
Actually...
Too much of anything is bad.
Relax just be more tea conclusion .All objects have pros and cons.
living gives us cancer
living is killing us

I always used comfort view. The brightness of the blue hurts my eyes after an hour of watching
I've just been to that place you are watching on the tv. Interesting video btw
I right away turned on night shift permanently after watching this. 😂
If you are on Windows 10, turn on the night light to reduce blue light.
If you are not, download f.lux. It does the exact same thing.
Good advice, way to go 👍
Or remove the light
Thanks for the advice, mate!
Also don't keep both in at the same time. It could start to glitch.
Good. 👍👍
My phone is already in auto display mode.
That puts on night mode in regular..
😘😘😘😘😘Amazing to see that
You are informing to the millions...
Great informative video! I think it needs a part 2 on OLED, a superior technology to LED as it does not use blue light back light and even LED lighting, if we use 90 CRI + lighting is helps bring in more reds and helps filter out those nasty blue lights!!
Am I the only one who turned on their blue light filter after seeing the thumbnail 😂
say wallahi Fuck no😂😂😂
Nope
got it on on phone and chromebook now
say wallahi nope already had it on
Nope not at all
THANK YOU! NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE RISKS OF OUR DEVICES SO YOU DID THE RIGHT THING POINTING THIS OUT!
Switched to "comfort mode" after watching this and I can already tell a difference in eye strain in less than 24 hours. 😬😳
There needs to be a customisable theme (multiple saves) for people with Macular/unusual eye conditions and migraines/epilepsy (triggers are similar).
I have dyslexia and find even with iOS 14.3 accessibility settings, the only options of ‘light or dark’ in display makes words jump around. My Mum’s Macular seems to be like my dyslexia, but sometimes varies.
The scariest Unbox Therapy video 😨 !

Lit Reviews Joke
A joke is a display of humour in which words are used within a specific and well-defined narrative structure to make people laugh and is not meant to be taken seriously. It takes the form of a story, usually with dialogue, and ends in a punch line.
Or

noun
a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.
(Wikipedia)
@@fxzq yeah everything we see emits or reflects light if it doesn't we can't see it
Awesome 54, great now as you know these fact you must know that when light is reflected from an object usually some of it’s energy is absorbed by the object , and that’s why a blue shirt wouldn’t be as much harmful as the display of your phone
I switched on true tone on my devices and night shift on the mac to make everything warmer. At first it looked weird, but 2 days in my eyes have adjusted to it and for a brief time I tried switching back to cool blue and it was horrible. Thanks Dr.Lew
A very good and informative video. Bro nice efforts from your side. You tubers and many public influencers should use the platform to spread awareness and important information also instead of just talking about other irrelevant shit which is not of any use.
Really proud of you for making a video on such a crucial topic. Thanks for caring Lew!
Seriously you didn't know this
Sreeram Anil where did I ever say that? Seriously dude?
Yeah.. this is kind of ..
One of my favorites unbox therapy videos
The scary thing is, smartphones and computer screens etc are all relatively new, so we don’t know what the effects of using them long term will be. Your grandparents have not been using smartphones since they were 12, but kids generally 12 or even younger will today pick up a phone and use it for several hours a day probably for the rest of their life. Who knows what kind of vision problems they will have when they are in their 60s?
100% man, back in the day it was more than normal and even popular to smoke, now we know what smoking does to you

Bro..I see a lot of toddlers play smartphones.
No joke.
Rambo The Fucking Machine yeah my 7 yr old cousin uses one everyday its scary

Still using P20 here with Eye Comfort on since day 1! I'm in early 40s. Still wanna see the world and my kids grow up in my 70s.
Thanks a lot sir..
This is why I like Unbox Therapy..Lou, Willie and Jack....they touch on all subjects relating to the tech world and what not. I mean not a lots of tech vloggers would make a video about this subject. Thanks for the video and making people aware of this kind of stuff
I'm glad someone with a grand amount of audience is spreading this info
A lot of people didn't believe me when I said this 😂
And also I didn't know how to like prevent damage so thank you for this information and spreading it to others too :3
You could also look into getting glasses that block out blue light. Good brands are gunnars and felix gray. They arent cheap but they do help a lot, I have a pair of felix gray glasses and they've helped get rid of a lot of eye strain.
Agree
The fact that this Guy Is famous doesnt make this US study correct
Just look at Donald Trump ... He does spread false informations as well
bro most of the smartphones now have a filter for blue light like asus zenfone 5
It's true, I have lost my partial eye sight.
It might be. My eyes are weak af since I started using smartphones from 2015. Nothing affected me before when I was using PCs all day.
Eat more vegetables kids. It'll help your eyes too.
WazzUp 45 Now, for real. Are carrots really that good for the eyes?
George Borsa nope
search it on google, shut up
That is an old wives tale that has no scientific data backing it up.
George Borsa try Spinach
I really like it when Lew makes videos like this. It makes me feel like he does actually care about people's eyes and people in general.

Son Goten keep your phone at lowest brightness and use in well lit areas I have no problem😂
Son Goten ikr lol
"... especially in dark rooms.."
Me:* *Turns light in my room on* * I'm safe
Also what's funny is that we got companies that preinstall those filters as a feature but will make whole UI white af, cause light is cool right? I mean iOS got whiter Google kills as much dark colors as they can and Windows 10 night mode doesn't work when you open something on fullscreen like video or a game. It's just annoying how companies make everything lighter and then put those filters (which still are not very effective) just because other's have it being some study showed that's blue light is worse for us.
Blinking your eyes when using the screen is also very important and should not be ignored.
I prefer Vivid display on my Redmi Note 10 Pro and it has a lot of blue light so I use Reading mode to reduce its blue light filter and it does. Thanks to this feature.
