You too?! Yes, me too!!

These days, everyone is using blue light blocking films.

Many people are checking out blue light blocking lenses and similar products.

If you ask ‘Why do you use them?’, many people say,

‘I heard from others that it’s good to do this.’

What exactly is the effect of blue light on the eyes?

For those who are curious, today I’d like to talk about blue light.

✨ What is blue light?

The blue light we usually refer to when talking about blue light blocking

is a blue-spectrum light source emitted from electronic devices.

It is light with a short wavelength, ranging from 380 to 500 nanometers.

Blue light, being in the blue spectrum, is a high-energy light.

✨ Where is blue light found?

When we talk about blue light, the first things that come to mind are

computer monitors and smartphones.

In addition, we are becoming increasingly sensitive to blue light from other electronic devices like smart TVs and tablet PCs.

Blue light refers to light with short wavelengths, ranging from 380 to 500 nanometers.

✨ So why are we particularly sensitive to blue light?

Prolonged exposure can have adverse effects on the retina and photoreceptor cells,

potentially causing cell damage

and increasing the risk of macular degeneration.

In fact, using a smartphone before sleep

can contribute to insomnia,

so caution is needed.

It’s also important to note that it can exacerbate dry eyes, vision deterioration, and fatigue,

so it’s best to refrain from using devices that emit blue light before sleep if possible.

So, is all blue light bad?

Not necessarily.

When we receive blue light from sunlight,

it can have positive effects, such as helping to regulate our body's rhythm.

However, the reason why discussions about blue light blocking have become familiar to us

is likely due to the increased use of smart devices,

leading to more people complaining about eye fatigue, dry eye symptoms,

and insomnia.

This is my careful consideration.

👍Worried about blue light harming your eye health?!

1. Check your eye health regularly through ophthalmic examinations.

2. Wear blue light blocking glasses when using electronic devices.

3. Avoid using electronic devices in dark places.

4. Avoid prolonged use, activate night mode.

5. Use an appropriate amount of artificial tears regularly.

The more you know, the better you can manage your eye health!!

Just as it’s important to know your eye health well,

please also make sure to check the importance of regular eye exams~
