ABSTRACT
A new phenomenon referred to as transient smartphone blindness (TSB) has emerged. This refers to temporary monocular vision loss associated with smartphone usage while lying down in the dark.1 Digital-related eye strain affects people of all ages. We present a case of a perplex rarity recurrent transient, monocular visual impairment. It is caused by differential bleaching of the retinal pigment. Making the smartphone use sensibly is the only solution.
Key words: Transient Smartphone Blindness (TSB), temporary monocular vision loss, digital eye strain
