MORE SCREEN TIME MEANS MORE BLUE LIGHT... SO WHAT?
Blue light, like other colors of visible light, is all around you. The sun emits blue light, as do fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs. However, human beings are now exposed to more blue light than ever before because of the widespread use of LED devices (light-emitting diode). Computer screens, flat-screen televisions, cell phones and tablets all use LED technologies with very high amounts of blue light. So, what's the harm?
Almost all blue light passes straight through to the back of your retina, and there’s evidence that blue light could lead to permanent vision changes. Some research has shown blue light may increase the risk of macular degeneration (a disease of the retina), and at the very least, many hours a day in front of our screens causes eye strain and fatigue.... not to mention premature aging of the skin and poor sleep. So, what do we do?
