Too much blue light

Working 40 hours a week in front of computer screen can have enormous stress on the eyes. Most light will pass straight through to the retina. Research is showing that too much exposure to blue light could possibly lead to macular degeneration. Blurred vision, irritation and dry eyes are all symptoms of high blue light exposure.

The sun produces blue light and is what triggers our circadian rhythm known as our wake, sleep cycle. Take a moment before you go to bed at night and become aware of how much screen time is spent before trying to catch some Z’s. Digital screens like mobile phones, laptops and TV’s all produce blue light. Our brains don’t register that it is night time and can effect the production of melatonin, our sleep hormone.

Blue light glasses

380nm to 550nm on the light spectrum is the wavelength that includes violet, blue and some blue-green light, but is always referred to as blue light. Blue light glasses are designed to block that wave length and offer protection when working long hours at work in front of a computer screen. More focus and better sleeping are some of the benefits of using blue light glasses.
