Abstract

The embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for monitoring health of eyes of a user, a method includes determining ambient light around an electronic device of the user. On determining that the ambient light is below a pre-defined threshold, the method includes determining a lumen output of at least one content to be displayed in at least one of a continuous manner and at pre-configured intervals. Based on the determined lumen output and at least one user profile, the method includes estimating a variation in a pupil size of the user. Further, the method includes generating an eye health index for the user based on the estimated variation in the pupil size of the user. Further, the method includes tagging the at least one content as safe based on the eye health index for viewing the at least one content.
