Do you find yourself staring at your computer or phone screen for long periods of time? If so, you may be at risk of blue light exposure.
What is blue light?
Blue light is a color of light in the visible light spectrum that has short wave-lengths and therefor produces a higher amount of energy than other forms of light.
Most electronic devices and screens emit blue light, which can ultimately be stimulating to both mind and body.
We all know the feeling of being on our phone or computer late at night when we know we should be going to sleep. What is it that keeps us up and prevents us from falling asleep? Often times it is the blue light itself. Blue light has been shown to cause eye fatigue and can stimulate the mind and body into a state of alertness that may result in sleep problems.
Blue light blocking glasses can help to reduce the amount of blue light that enters your eyes, which can help to improve your eye health and overall wellbeing.
So, when should you wear blue light glasses?
Well, the answer is really; any time that you are using a screen or a device. However, it is most important to wear your blue light blocking glasses when using a screened device after the sun goes down, or late at night.
Making sure that you are wearing a good pair of blue light blocking glasses while using your phone, computer, or watching TV for extended periods of time will help to keep your eyes healthy and safe from some of the negative effects of blue light.
