Understanding the harmful effects of blue light

These days most of us spend the major part of our productive time looking at the digital screens.  Studies reveal that around 60 to 70 percent of people spend at least 5-6 hours a day in front of digital screens. While you are looking at digital screens, your eyes are directly exposed to blue light. They have the highest-energy wavelengths and our eye’s natural filters are not capable to provide maximum protection against these rays. Excessive exposure to these harmful rays can cause retinal damage and contribute to age-related macular degeneration. Macular degeneration can also result in loss of vision.

Still today, there are many people who are not aware of what does blue light do our eyes. The blue rays emitted from electronic devices like mobile phones, tablets, TVs, computers, and laptops can harm the human eye. Eye experts suggest limiting the use of devices that emit blue light. These high-wavelength rays create a glare that diminishes visual contracts, acuity, and clarity. This is an important reason why many people feel an eye strain after using an electronic device for a longer duration. Many people link blue light to sleep disorders too. Yes, too much exposure to blue light also results in loss of sleep. 

Apart from limiting the use of electronic devices, you should also start using blue light blocking glasses. These glasses are designed to protect the eyes from the harmful blue light. So, make haste. Buy a pair of blue blockers today.
