35、ople busy on their smart phones. Smart phones do make our lives easier. But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?According to a study, half of British people own smart phones now and they spend an average of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number o

36、f people in the UK who suffer from short-sightedness since smart phones were introduced there in 1997. Staring (盯) at smart phones screen for long time gives you dry eyes.
