Concerns about “blue light” have risen with the amount of exposure to electronic screens – computers, phones, and tablets. “Blue light” is a type of light emitted by digital devices but is also produced by sunlight. It’s close to UV (ultraviolet) in wavelength, which is known to cause harmful effects like cataracts and macular degeneration.

Every day we are exposed to increasing amounts of Blue Light. Outdoor exposure to blue light comes from the sun;, while Indoor exposure, comes from artificial sources of blue light, such as computers, tablets, cell phones, televisions, and modern energy efficient light bulbs.

Hidden cameras were used at various optical chain stores where the salespeople claimed that blue light from computer screens causes eye disease like age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and skin cancer.

UV rays have higher energy than visible light rays, which makes them capable of producing changes in the skin. These rays also can cause sunburned eyes — a condition called photo keratitis or snow blindness.

Over exposure to blue light may lead to problems with cataracts, which is a clouding of the lens in the eye and can lead to a decrease in vision.

Blue Light exposure has been demonstrated to cause damage to the cells of the retina over time and may contribute to eye disease later in life.
