Are Iris Scanning and Face ID Safe For Your Eyes?

Рет қаралды 101,857

Күн бұрын

Both Apple Face ID and Samsung Iris Scan technologies project infrared radiation on our face, and use an infrared camera to capture an image. So to answer the question of whether there is any harm to our eyes or skin, we need to look at the effects of infrared on our health.
Infrared is everywhere. The sun radiates Infrared, which we feel as heat. Our TV remotes use infrared to communicate information. Even our own body heat is emitted as infrared radiation.
That doesn't mean that infrared has no health effects. At incredibly high levels, infrared can harm your eyes and burn your skin.
It all boils down to the amount of exposure. While it is true that extreme exposure to infrared can have damaging effects, the amount of infrared that we get exposed to in day-to-day life doesn't cause harm. That's why authorities place limits on the amount of infrared that we are allowed to be exposed to from consumer electronics like mobile phones. Both Apple and Samsung have to receive certification that their products don't exceed the limits placed on infrared exposure.
The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) specifies safe levels of infrared exposure. Below these thresholds, there is no known harm from infrared.

Very informative, Dr Ankit. Can you do a similar video on microwave ovens? Some believe that microwave can cause cancer. I'd like to know if research bears this out. Thanks.

@DocUnlock 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the question! Just like infrared, microwaves are also classified as non-ionizing radiation. In fact, the energy of microwaves is lower than infrared and visible light (i.e. microwaves have lower frequency than both visible and infrared light). When absorbed, the main effect of microwaves is that it causes vibration in molecules. This leads to friction and therefore the production of heat - a property that we use to heat up our food! Non-ionizing radiation like microwaves, infrared and visible light, cannot cause cancer. Research also shows that there is no detrimental health issues associated with microwaved food. Also, you may find the following resources helpful if you would like to read further: www.arpansa.gov.au/understanding-radiation/radiation-sources/more-radiation-sources/microwave-ovens www.icnirp.org/en/frequencies/high-frequency/index.html

Yup that's right Mike. Here's a direct quote from the World Health Organization on this point: "The design of microwave ovens ensures that the microwaves are contained within the oven and can only be present when the oven is switched on and the door is shut. Leakage around and through the glass door is limited by design to a level well below that recommended by international standards." www.who.int/peh-emf/publications/facts/info_microwaves/en/

Wonderful video and so well presented. Loved it. Can I ask you two things. 1. What about the new LiDAR in iphone 12 pro - they say iphone uses that for face recognition and you can use it to take selfies - but isn't LASER even more dangerous that Infra-red? But surely, apple would not have released it if there were concerns that usually go with Laser - burn spots on the retina. 2. I'm a doc too. Love the way you developed a video to explain how cataracts happen with Infra-red. It was amazing. I'd like to do something myself for my patients. Are you able to share how you developed that video. It looks like a specific video made for you rather than a stock video. I'd love to do something too. Are you able to help? And of course, thanks

My question is: is a camera wich sends infrared emissions to your face and eyes for a twelve hour shift to monitore if your eyes close then sends you vibrations so you don't fall asleep while driving your truck can be harmfull to your eyes ? Would you know wich study to read about the subject (specific to twelve hour exposure) ? Thank you very much for your time !

@DocUnlock 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Jimi, great question! The health effects of infrared ultimately depends on the amount of exposure to the eye (more formally known as the radiance dose). There are a number of factors that influences radiance dose, and one of them is time. The longer the duration of exposure, the more dose your eye will receive. So if you have an infrared device monitoring your eye for 12 hours, then your eye will receive more dose than if you only wore that device for 10 minutes. However, if the dose of infrared from such a device is still below the international exposure limits, then it should be safe to use. I have two suggestions for you if you want to investigate further: 1) You may wish to read the full guidelines on limits of infrared exposure here: www.icnirp.org/en/frequencies/infrared/index.html The guidelines are quite technical but provide a very comprehensive overview of the health effects of infrared including how radiance dose is calculated and the exposure limits. 2) You may wish to contact the manufacturer of the monitoring device and ask them whether the device has been certified against international standards Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions :)

I used to feel red eyes, headache and dizziness with S9+ Iris scanner. I thought this was due to COVID-19 however, the condition persisted even after several weeks after recovery. So I just guessed this could be due to Iris Scanner and disabled it. The symptoms disappeared after 1.5 days. Splashing cold water on closed eyes also helps. I used to unlock around 50 times per day with about 2 to 4 seconds of exposure everytime, which is not good in the long run.After several years I am sure there will be several reported cases.

Can Face ID infrared be a trigger for people with photosensitive epilepsy, and should they avoid using it?

@DocUnlock 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Tracey, this is a great question! The disclaimer for Samsung Iris Scan says "Anyone who experiences dizziness, seizures, loss of awareness, blackouts, or other symptoms related to an epileptic condition, should see a doctor before using iris recognition". Photosensitive epilepsy is generally associated with visible light rather than infrared. In an article, red-blue flashes from the Pokeman cartoon were reported to trigger seizure like events in 685 children (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=16146439). I haven't seen any reports of infrared causing seizures. I think that's because visible light triggers the occipital lobe of the brain (the part that processes vision), but infrared is invisible to us, so it doesn't activate the brain. Having said that, if I had photosensitive epilepsy, I would take the conservative approach and not use Face ID. The convenience just wouldn't be worth the risk of having a seizure (even if that risk is very small)! This is a great question and would be worth asking your Neurologist. He/She will be able to guide you more specifically about your situation. In the meantime, this is a good resource if you are looking for more information about photosensitive epilepsy: www.epilepsy.com/learn/triggers-seizures/photosensitivity-and-seizures

Hi Azad, twitching of the eye is very common and can be related to eye strain. The medical name is blepharospasm - 'blepharo' refers to the eyelid and 'spasm' refers to the spasm of the muscle that controls the eyelid. Some other reasons for blepharospasm include lack of sleep and irritation due to pollution. Usually blepharospasm doesn't indicate any serious problem and should go away with rest.

Amount of exposure: If apple is going to use face-id in ALL its products from here on out, including its iMacs and Macbooks which is coming., then I do believe your will be getting TONS of exposure daily. How many times do you look at your phone per day? It also illuminates while you are using the phone just to check it's you. You are going to use these Apple FaceID products for the next 10 years non stop every day and not worry about the 'amount of exposure'? Anyone that does that is a braver man than me.

If the iris scanner has no harm to the eye, why Samsung remove it from s10 ?

Maybe to get that Infinity-O display. Plus they introduced the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

Are Infrared Phone Unlock given in Phones like Vivo v11 Pro and Poco f1, harmful for eyes?

@DocUnlock 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Brock, those phones would also be subject to the infrared safety standards that apply to Samsung and Apple. So in theory they would be safe too although I haven't looked up the specifications myself. You may wish to check whether those phones have been certified against international standards.

As an example, the LG G3 uses an infrared laser autofocus system (www.anandtech.com/show/8062/a-closer-look-at-the-g3s-ir-laser-auto-focus-system). This should be safe for your eyes as long as the manufacturer keeps the infrared exposure below the safety limits.

I turned off Face ID for now will that make a difference?

@DocUnlock 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Brendan, in situations like your own, it is always tricky to pin down the exact cause of eye strain. The approach here would be a process of elimination - trying to address each possible cause one by one and see which one makes a difference. You've already turned off Face ID which is a good start. Here are some other things you can do if turning off Face ID doesn't help: 1. Turn off Animoji feature - the Animoji feature also uses the infrared system to detect your face 2. Turn down screen brightness - high brightness may cause your eyes to squint (even without you being conscious of it. This can lead to eye strain. 3. Try using a blue light filter - reducing blue light from screens can reduce eye strain for some people. I think iOS 9.3 onwards has a built in blue light filter called 'Night Shift'. You can try turning this feature on all the time (ie not just for night time use). It would be great if you let us know what happens. It can help other people who may also be experiencing the same problem :)

Iris scanner & face Id even if it's disabled it is still on cannot be seen. I used my tabs camera to see the light and oh boy I got rid of my s8 first. Then my dad got a iPhone x I told him not to use the face id I told him about the side affects then he obeyed what I told. Soon after he was done setting up his iPhone x I used my phones camera to check the infrared light and it was visible on the camera only even though the face Id was disabled. Apples face id and other companies iris scanner cannot be seen even if it is disabled it actually is never off no one can see it its invisible. My eyes started hurting so bad after using Samsung products and apple. Now Samsung got rid of the iris with the s10. The infrared light is always enabled even after the phone is unlocked. Now I support oneplus because they dont use such dangerous tech.

Mashriq Afroze Alam iPhone X after 3 days of using the X I had watery eyes eye aches almost sinus like - I thought it may have been an infection or hay fever - I took eye drops regularly I turned off all the face unlock pretty much turned off everything but after 12 months the issues persisted - I took some high speed video and the sensors including the flood illuminator still operate - about a month ago I’ve covered over all of the sensors except the front camera and after 3 days my eye issues had improved by about 70% - it’s now about 1 month and my eyes have improved about 90% but still get watery eyes which I think is due to the OLED flicker - make sure you don’t let the screen dim - I think Apple could well have a class action against them with these dangerous phones

@@BarryMaskell The oled flicker does not strain my eyes. My eyes only strain due to the ir light & the dot projector which is always on, on all iPhone x series and the new iPads. If I cover the sensors what's the point of using an iPhone. In that case Androids look like Samsung & Oneplus is way better now none have iris scanner or any sensors to harm consumers eye😊😊♥️.
