Eye pain after using OLED screen
Hi,
I had just bought a new phone few days back and since using it for few days I have experienced eye pain and headache. After researching I found out that it is because of 'PWM flickering' due to OLED displays and there are people who are sensitive to it. After taking a break for few days it went away but again after using it, the pain came back. So right now what should I do? I guess my left eye is a bit sore. I'm a student and I have no issues in reading or writing.
