What is Invisible Flicker?

EYE STRAIN

Prolonged exposure to invisible flicker of lights can cause Asthenopia. The symptoms of this condition are eye strain, fatigue, blurred vision, and diminished sight-related task problems. In the long run, this can have serious impact on your eye health.

It keeps on adjusting to the invisible flicker of the LEDs and this constant adjustment causes stress and adversely affects your mental health and capacity. It can tire you out and reduce your cognitive abilities. Not only does it slow you down mentally, but also makes you sluggish physically.
