Social media has taken a lot from human life, not only time, activities, social approaches, finance and health. Social media absorbs battery the most among other applications. This is a result of overwhelming personal interest on social media content. In fact, continuous operation drains mobile battery faster, radiates continuous electromagnetic waves and emits heat to eyes. This paper shows that the intermittent exposure on using social media applications on mobile phone, not only conserves energy, but also reduces eye health risk. Since 3 ° C eye temperature rises may lead to eye cataract, eye temperature rise as result of electromagnetic radiation and heat light exposure should be as low as possible. Intermittent social media exposure results 3.1% lower energy consumption and 22.8% slower eye temperature rise.
