Why is it important to filter Blue Light?

With smartphone, tablet, television, and computer usage becoming a standard part of our daily lives, the risk of overexposure to Blue Light can be a concern. Overexposure to Blue Light can negatively impact your health in the following ways:
DIGITAL EYE STRAIN

Because Blue Light scatters more easily, images can appear lower in contrast. This lower contrast can cause eye strain and dry or irritated eyes when viewing a screen for extended periods of time.

DISRUPTED SLEEP PATTERNS

While Blue Light in small doses can be beneficial during the day, too much Blue Light during the night may disrupt your body’s natural circadian rhythm and make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. Blue Light suppresses melatonin secretion, a hormone required to regulate your sleep at night.

EYE DAMAGE

Some studies have evidence to suggest a link between Blue Light and damage to the retina, which could be tied to macular degeneration. However, studies are still too early and inconclusive to prove definitively..

What is Blue Light?

Visible light from the sun consists of red, orange, yellow, green, and blue light rays. When combined together, what you see is ‘white light.’ Blue Light is on one end of the color spectrum and has the highest energy among these rays. Given its intensity, it can have adverse effects. Red rays are on the other side of the color spectrum and have the longest wavelength and the least energy. Light rays with short wavelengths (i.e. Blue Light) scatter much easier than longer wavelength rays (i.e. red light). This is the reason why the sky appears blue on a cloudless day—your eye picks up on the scattered blue rays rather than the red rays.

How can you reduce the impacts of Blue Light overexposure?

With smartphone, tablet, television, and computer usage becoming a standard part of our daily lives, the risk of overexposure to Blue Light can be a concern. Overexposure to Blue Light can negatively impact your health but you can lessen those adverse effects by following these tips:
  • 1
    MINIMIZE SCREEN TIME

    The best way to prevent any adverse effects from Blue Light is to minimize screen time, especially at night. Avoid using your phone or watching television approximately one hour before you head to bed to prepare your body for the rest it needs.

  • 2
    WEAR BLUE LIGHT GLASSES

    The best Blue Light blocking glasses (also known as anti-Blue Light glasses, Blue Light blocker glasses, or Blue Light protection glasses) filter out Blue Light, reducing conditions like eye fatigue, dry eyes, and eye strain.

  • 3
    ADJUST ROOM LIGHTING

    Do your best to keep room lighting levels consistent when using electronic devices. Bouncing from a bright screen to an area of the room that is darker causes eye fatigue.

    REDUCE POWER AT NIGHT

    Electronics nowadays have options to dim and shift the wavelengths from blue to red during nighttime. Certain manufacturers are also offering light bulbs that emit less Blue Light as dusk approaches.
