El eReader has many advantages over other devices, the screen and the security of our eyes is one of those advantages, but this advantage is sometimes surpassed by those who want the utilities of a tablet. Tablets are devices that are on the rise since they concentrate in themselves the functionalities of many gadgets such as MP4, eReaders, Smartphones, netbooks, etc…. Faced with this intensive use, a group of Spanish researchers has developed the Reticare technology, protective covers that minimize eye damage caused by reading or look at the tablet screens, smartphones and portable consoles.
What is Reticare technology?
Technology withdraw It consists of a series of filters and protectors that reduce the macular damage that our sight suffers, this in the long run will mean health insurance, since the studies carried out on the damages that the use of tablets and similar devices can cause demonstrate and certify that many young people today will have serious vision problems in their 40s when it is normal for them to appear between 55 and 60 years.

Opinion
Although now we are not aware of the theme of our eye health, I believe that in a few years it will be a great endemic disease in our society. Many when we buy (I also include myself) a device with a screen we do not look at the quality of the screens, we do not know the standards that the screens have to pass to be suitable and even less the damage that they can create us. It seems to me that little by little we will have to become aware of these dangers and what it entails, for this reason, I thought it appropriate to publicize this invention that although it does not affect eReaders, it does affect our uses of electronic reading. An alternative to these solutions is to use reading habits, such as maintaining an adequate distance or reducing the light level and increasing the ambient light, in short, a few techniques that can alleviate but do not totally prevent. What measures do you use to prevent future eye damage?
