Woman's Eye ‘Bursts' After Spending Too Much Time On Phone, Doctors Say
By Jeff Tavss
SHENZHEN, CHINA - Doctors say a woman was temporarily blind- ed after blood vessels burst in her eye following an all-night ses- sion of playing on her smartphone.
The unidentified Chinese woman was able to take herself to the hospital after realizing the next morning she
could no longer see out of her left eye, AsiaWire reports.
“The following morning, as soon as she woke up, she picked up her phone and start- ed using it again." said Dr. Qiu Wangjian. “About five minutes later, the patient dis- covered she was unable to see out her left eye. She couldn’t see any- thing."
Doctors found large patches of blood on her reti- na, which effec- tively blocked her vision. The rup- tures were caused by physi- cal exertion.
The woman has since regained the vision in her left eye after doc- tors created a small hole on her retina, allowing the blood to be removed.
