Can using your smartphone at night cause bad eye sight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Using your eyes to see things is not going to hurt your eyes. Watching tv in the dark, reading in poor light, using a smartphone are all fine. At least it won't make your vision worse. "eye strain" is really just fatigue from working too hard to see.
