Dude Suffers Detached Retina After Texting His Girlfriend In The Dark Too Much

Mirror - A man has suffered a detached retina after repeatedly texting his girlfriend in the dark. The 26-year-old phone user was text messaging his partner for a number of hours while in bed. But his excessive messaging led to him suffering from sudden flashes in his eyesight. After seeking the help of doctors, it emerged his left eye’s retina had become detached, Medical Daily reported. This led to the man, from China, eventually having emergency surgery. It is normally only elderly people who suffer from retinal detachment. However, it is becoming much more common among younger people, with excessive phone use believed to be at fault. If it is not treated properly, it can lead to people going blind. Speaking to NBC News recently, optometrist Andrea Thau said: “Our eyes have evolved for three-dimensional viewing so we wind up overfocusing as we strain to find a 3-D image on a close-up 2-D screen.”

Well this is absolutely terrifying. You know how many nights I sat in the dark with a laptop sitting on my chest giving me third degree burns, with a pair of head phones in my ears and my boxers around my ankles watching Tori Black? Its a miracle I’m not completely blind with burn scars on my chest. I mean my retinas must be hanging on by a thread after like 5 straight years of doing that nightly. I’m surprised Heather Brooke isn’t scorched into my eyeballs at this point. Imagine that? Imagine if somehow the image of Heather Brooke was all you could see on a permanent basis? I think I’d sign for that right now.

I just hope for this guy’s sake he was getting some texts that were worth it. He’s from China, of course, so its like a 50/50 shot. Could be pictures of his girl dressed up like a sexy school girl or it could be pictures of her crushing a bunny rabbit to death or something. You never know what the Chinese have in store. All I know is I’m leaving the lights on when I stare at porn at night from now on.
