How to protect your eyes from the glare of your mobile
Table of contents:
We spend many hours in front of the screens. When it is not the work laptop, it is the inseparable mobile with its blue light that, in addition to affecting vision, can unbalance rest cycles, especially if we use the mobile during the hours before going to bed. It is essential, therefore, to lower the brightness to the maximum in dark environments so that the light from the phone screen does not end up hurting us.
Reduces brightness and applies a red filter to rest from the mobile screen
If even with the minimum brightness the light on the screen of our mobiles bothers us, we will have to install a third-party tool on our mobile so that we can lower the brightness beyond what is allowed. There are several applications that allow us to perform this action, but one of the most recommended is Screen Filter, a free application that, in addition to not containing ads, weighs very little, its installation file not reaching MB.
Once we have installed the application on our phone we will only have to adjust the maximum brightness that we want on our mobile. In itself, the application does not have a greater interface than the adjustment bar, once we open it the maximum brightness will already have decreased to the option that we have set.
However, if we want, in addition to attenuating the brightness, to add a red filter to reduce the amount of blue color on the screen of our mobile, we should install another tool, for example, 'Twilight'.Thanks to Twilight we will be able to use our mobile at night so that it does not affect our rest so much, although it is always advisable not to use our mobile, computer or tablet in any way in the hours before sleep. This app needs an additional permission to change the screen color, as well as the location so that the filter is activated only when it detects that it is getting dark.
When you have everything activated, we can adjust the color temperature, intensity, and attenuation of the screen brightness. In ‘Filter schedules‘ we will adjust when we want it to be activated. We recommend leaving 'Sun' as it will detect the sunrise and sunset times to deactivate and activate it, respectively. If, for a moment, we choose 'Always' we can see how the filter will look when it is activated alone.
