A member asked:
Can constant cell phone screen time cause eye cancer or any other types of cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Light from a cell phone screen is not substantially different from ordinary ambient room light. There is no added danger from a cell phone. The power is so low in modern cell phones that holding it against your ear for long periods of time conveys very little if any risk.
