An interview with Dr. Celia Sanchez-Ramos conducted by April Cashin-Garbutt, MA (Cantab)
Prior to your recent study, how much was known about the eye damage light emitted from digital screens can cause?
The study carried out by the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) –UCM – is the first to evaluate retinal damage using tablets with LED screens available in the market with living animals.
Previously, our research team had conducted studies of in vitro retina tissue where the effects of cell damage and even the mechanisms of action were demonstrated in this experimental situation. Other research groups have worked in-vitro and even in-vivo (with animals and LEDs but not with screens).
