On the neck area skin cancer????

Answered by Dr. Harshita (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
No it doesnt

Detailed Answer:
Hello, thanks for your question. But no, looking at a computer closely for two minutes will not cause damage to retina and will definitely not render you blind; so relax. The light reflex may just cause bleaching of the pigment cells as happens when we are in sunlight and enter a dark room and eyes take some time to adjust so rest assured you will be okay .

Depends on the damage to retina
