Afghan doctors say that the excessive use of smartphones can cause eyesight and mental issues in minors.

Psychologists also suggest that children must be controlled while using smartphones for long periods of time.

“A bad light commonly known as blue light hits the user's eyes from the mobile screen, which can cause fatigue, eye weakness and retinal weaknessو” said Faridullah Omari, a doctor.

Meanwhile, psychologists said that excessive use of smartphones may lead to different mental illnesses in children.

“Psychologically, it can affect children; For example, it has an effect on food, anger, sleep and lack of energy of the child's body, and even the child can get scared and scream and be afraid at night,” said Muhammad Safa Farzayee, a psychologist.

Anas, 3, is a child who is busy with his smart phone for four hours every day.

His brother, Mudasir says that Anas has been suffering from eyesight problems now.

“He uses phone a lot now and he can't see properly at night because his eyes are weak,” said Mudasir, the brother of Anas.

Parallel with technological development in the world, minors and young teenagers are spending most of their time using smartphones.
