Anti-blue light glasses: the essentials for working on screens
Blue light is a light that is produced by LED devices such as lighting systems, screens, luminous objects, etc. Today, these lights are blue and covered with a layer of yellow phosphorus which creates an intense white light that is dangerous for our eyes.
The dangers of light and its effects
We are confronted every day with blue light due to screens (smartphones, computers, televisions, tablets, etc.), indoor lighting (LED bulbs, lamps, spotlights, etc.), outdoor lighting and illuminated signs.
All of these lights damage our eyes. Screens cause photochemical damage to the retina and lens for those who spend more than 8 hours a day on screen for several years.
This long-term exposure will develop a risk of age-related muscle degeneration, reduce eyesight and promote visual fatigue (appearance of headaches). In addition, exposure to these screens can disrupt biological rhythms including sleep.
How to protect yourself from it?
There are several ways to protect yourself:
- Wear blue light blocking glasses whenever possible.
- Reduce and divide screen time.
- Take advantage of natural light whenever possible.
The interest of wearing anti-blue light glasses will prevent the negative effects when you work on screens. The glasses will be effective in restoring quality sleep and no longer having eye fatigue. They will absorb the blue light which will protect your eyes. Opt for a pair of glasses with anti-blue light lenses by choosing a frame to your taste!
