Blue Light Protection
All light is made up of a spectrum of different colors, which correspond to different wavelengths of energy. The screens on digital devices have a higher proportion of high energy visible (HEV) blue light. The higher the energy, the more it can affect our eyes. Blue and violet light is the highest energy on the visible light spectrum. Prolonged exposure can strain and even damage our eyes.
Protect Your Eyes From Blue Light
Nowadays, most of us spend many hours a day sitting in front of a modern TV, computer screen, tablet, or smartphone. The light from the screen of these digital devices has adverse effects on our retina, and the long-term effects are still unknown. If you spend hours a day in front of a screen, sooner or later, you are likely to feel discomfort in your eyes including soreness, fatigue, and blurriness.
Is my Digital Device Screen Dangerous to my Eyes?
Our eyes absorb light. Light on high-energy end of the visible spectrum is typically called blue light. This light goes through the cornea and lens, directly into the retina. This can cause long-term damage and possibly cause your eyes to age prematurely.
Blue light from digital devices and computer screens can reduce contrast. This causes digital eye strain. Dry eyes, fatigue, bad lighting, and the way you sit in front of your computer can also contribute to eye strain. Typically, you will feel discomfort, soreness, and perhaps blurred vision. At times, you may find it difficult to focus.
