lower the brightness

It is recommended to lower the brightness of the device to the maximum, to avoid further damage to the view. In any case, it is also advisable to take a break from reading if you have been on the phone for a long time.

Another favorable option is to activate the ‘ambient mode’ of the screen lighting, to adapt the brightness of the device according to the space in which we find ourselves.
