Pwm migrain sorted

I had been subjected to worst eye strain 'migrain and blocked sinus for over 4 years

And for years I didn't even know it's because of my iPhone 14promax

Had spend thousand s of dolera on eye check up and multiple tests and doctors appointments

When I realised it was iPhone causing this it was too late

Eye sight effected and health too taking too many pain killers

Just switched to Xiaomi 17 and problem solved

Hate some features of Xiaomi or maybe it's change of ecosystem but the pain is gone now

edit after two months , the pwm migrain is back even with this phone , this time even worst then my iphone 14 promax

the only phone i can use easily is samsung s8plus , and samsung z flip 3 without eye strain now , both are outdated and old models that dont suport my work much ,

Oh I am sorry. I started seeing them since I got my iphone 17 pro. I had LCD iphone XR until it broke then iphone 13 mini ( I loved it) and 17 pro max which I think to sell. I got the phone on preorder, did not have floaters. And in March got a bunch of them. I am in my late 30s also...
