Want to Improve Your Vision? Try These Apps!

Dimly – Screen Dimmer

A highly damaging way to use the phone is in the dark, especially if the screen is on a high brightness level. Although users are able to reduce the brightness down as much as possible, this can still be too high if the screen is bright, particularly if the background is a lighter color such as white. With this issue, Dimly – Screen Dimmer is an app that is able to significantly reduce the brightness of the screen more than the standard settings allow for. In being able to reduce the screen brightness to levels that would not otherwise be possible, users can significantly reduce the damage that is done to the eyes when using the phone in the dark. One of the best features of the app is that if the screen is too dark when users are using it at night, it can be difficult to navigate the phone settings in the morning to turn it off. As a result, users can simply shake their device to turn off the Dimly – Screen Dimmer app which makes it a great tool to reduce eye damage in low-light settings.
