Eye strain on iPhone X

If you are still having issues, have you tried turning on some of the motion/reduced transparency settings under Accessibility, also increasing text size or inverting the colours (Settings/General/Accessibility and select Display Accomodation for the latter).

I'm sure there are people who suffer from eye strain, and also people who have an iPhone X. And the intersection of these two sets is undoubtedly not the null set. How does knowing that help you? What did your ophthalmologist say when you asked her?

Anyone can post a video. That doesn't make it fact. As far as I can tell the one who created the video has ZERO qualifications in the field of ophthalmology, and thus whatever he says is totally worthless.

Hey man,

I might have a solution for you. What caused terrible eye strain for me was flicker of the screen at low brightness levels. The workaround is to reduce seeming brightness while keeping backlight to the max. Go to accessbility and click on ‘reduce whitepoint’. This will do the trick. You can also assign it to the side button triple click.

It’s a proplem with the oled I been using both the Xsmax and x that was initially supposed to be sold after my purchase I couldn’t keep it bec the eye strain the x that is discontinued has a better display no proplem I bought Xs Max 2 times same issue eye strains after using it for 5 minutes horrible panel the worst I ever seen in my life

Hi all. I have been experiencing the following symptoms with many of the new phones....eye tiredness, burning sensation in the eyes, nausea, travel sickness, dizziness. First experienced this after migrating from iPhone to the Google Pixel 1 a couple of yrs ago. Fairly soon b came apparent I couldn’t use my pixel so in reverted back to my iPhone 6 which I had issued through work. I recently have had iPhone 8 issued through work and no issues with that at all.

I upgraded my personal handset to the Samsung Galaxy S9 recently and experienced the sa,me issues. So returned the device for the iPhone Xs. Same issues! Swapped with ,y wife who has the iPhone Xr. Same issues! Looks like I a, going to have tp revert to the iPhone 8 and stay with it.

I have tried adjusting all settings. Including brightness, blue light filter, motion, reducing whitepoint. Nothing works! Obviously something else to do with the new age screens! I started thinking maybe it was LED screens causing me the issues. But I see that the XR is LCDand that gives me the problems too. Am very mystified by this!

Bit worried as whiles I will be fine for the me t 2-3 yrs wi5 an iPhone 8, what will I do then? All phones appear to *the same way!

I agree it’s a hard issue to nail down, as you say it doesn’t appear to be related to a specific display main category (OLED or LCD) so you are left trying to discover what aspect of those screens that are causing the issue is behind the problem. Could it be screen manufacturer, resolution or even the subcategories, LCD encompasses different types so are you more sensitive to one compared to another.

One area though you don’t want to ignore is your eyesight, do you need glasses for example, a visit to the optician may be in order.
