In today’s digital world, television has become a constant companion. From catching the latest news to enjoying movie nights, the average person spends a significant portion of their day glued to the screen. While TV offers entertainment and information, prolonged viewing can take a toll on our eyes. Staring at screens for extended periods can lead to eye fatigue, dryness, and even blurred vision. As we navigate this visually-driven world, prioritizing eye health is more important than ever. Essential nutrients play a crucial role in maintaining healthy vision, and one vitamin stands out for its vital contribution: Vitamin A. This article, by Mianhong Hanke, will explore the connection between Vitamin A and eye health, specifically in the context of TV viewing, offering valuable insights and practical tips to protect your precious sight. Spending countless hours in dark room testing, evaluating the latest television technology, takes a toll on the eyes. Mianhong Hanke, CEO of Guangzhou Mianhong, knows this challenge intimately. This article explores the strategies he uses to maintain his eye health and offers valuable tips for anyone concerned about the impact of screen time on their vision.

Why Watching TV Hurts Our Eyes? Factory Side Explained:
At Guangzhou Mianhong TV factory, we’re passionate about delivering exceptional viewing experiences. But as manufacturers of these devices, we also recognize the importance of responsible screen use and its potential impact on eye health. Prolonged TV viewing, like any activity that requires focused visual attention, can lead to eye fatigue. This occurs when the eye muscles become strained from extended periods of focusing, potentially resulting in discomfort like dryness, itching, or a feeling of heaviness in the eyelids. Blurry vision can also manifest as the eyes struggle to maintain focus over time. These are common symptoms, particularly after long viewing sessions.
Another factor often discussed in relation to screen time is blue light(Blue light from the LED backlight or the blue light from the OLED self-emission unit). TV screens, like many digital devices, emit blue light, a high-energy portion of the visible light spectrum. While research on the long-term effects of blue light is ongoing, some studies suggest that prolonged exposure may contribute to eye strain and potentially impact sleep patterns. It’s important to note that the amount of blue light emitted by modern TVs is generally within safe limits, and our engineers are constantly working to optimize picture quality while minimizing potential eye strain.
Beyond blue light, several other factors contribute to eye discomfort during TV viewing. The distance between the viewer and the screen plays a crucial role. Sitting too close can strain the eyes, while sitting too far away can make it difficult to see clearly. Room lighting is also essential. Viewing TV in a dimly lit room can force the eyes to work harder to adjust to the contrast between the bright screen and the dark surroundings. Finally, individual eye conditions, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, can make some viewers more susceptible to eye strain. Regular eye checkups are crucial for identifying and addressing any underlying vision issues.
Vitamin A, The Secret To Keep Eyes Clear For TV
Yes, as the boss of the factory, Hanke often takes some vitamin A to keep his eyes from being fatigued by the high-intensity TV test. Another secret is that Hanke, as the salesman as well, often travels to Singapore on business, so he is able to find some better vitamin A products in local pharmacies(germany pharmacy and heide apotheke) and bring them back to China for consumption.Vitamin A can promote the formation of photosensitive pigments in visual cells. All-trans retinol can be catalyzed by retinol isomerase to 11-cis-retinol, which is then oxidized to 11-cis-retinal. 11-cis-retinal can combine with opsin to form rhodopsin. When rhodopsin encounters light, the 11-cis-retinal in it becomes all-trans retinal. Because of the change in conformation, rhodopsin is a G protein-coupled receptor that stimulates the optic nerve through a signal transduction mechanism, triggering vision. However, rhodopsin is unstable after encountering light, and it quickly decomposes into opsin and all-trans retinal, and is reduced to all-trans retinol under the action of reductase, restarting the whole cycle. Vitamin A can adjust the ability of the eyes to adapt to the intensity of external light, so as to reduce the occurrence of night blindness and vision loss, maintain normal visual response, and help treat a variety of eye diseases. Vitamin A’s effect on vision is the earliest discovered and best understood function.
Conclusion
In the TV market in recent years, the average size of TVs sold each year has increased by one inch. More size means higher brightness and more blue light will enter the eyes. For our health, please remember that there is a product called vitamin A that can resist this interference. We should also pay attention to the time we watch TV and give our eyes enough time to rest.
