In the course of the study, scientists studied the relationship between the condition of the eyes and life expectancy in Drosophila flies. It turned out that the health of the eyes can indeed affect how long the fly lives. Experts explain this with circadian rhythms, that is, the biological clock of insects.
The experts concluded that the flies that followed the restricted diet had greatly altered circadian rhythms and increased lifespan. In addition, a number of experiments have shown that if you keep the fly constantly in the dark, then it will live longer.
As Professor Kapahi points out, using computers and smartphones at night negatively affects health in general, as it disrupts circadian rhythms. In addition, it impairs the protection of the eyes, which can adversely affect not only vision, but also the brain and body.
