Let the technology of tomorrow make you more successful today.
Light can be both harmful and beneficial for vision as well as overall health.
Sunlight contains UV and blue light. UV light is part of the non-visible light spectrum and you’re exposed to it every day when you’re out in the sun. It can cause damage to the eyes, particularly the cornea and the lens. Blue light, which is part of the visible light spectrum, reaches deeper into the eye and its cumulative effect can cause damage to the retina.
Blue light, which is also emitted from computer screens, can cause serious damage to the retina, and prolonged exposure poses a risk factor for the onset of age-related macular degeneration. All that screen time can also lead to digital eye strain, resulting in tired eyes, headaches, itchy eyes, blurred vision, and increased sensitivity to light.
Unlike a computer screen, phones and tablets can be held wherever the user wants. It’s estimated that people hold digital devices two to nine inches closer to their eyes than they hold traditional media like newspapers, magazines, and books. That close proximity combined with the pixilated images on the screen cause the eyes to constantly be shifting in and out of focus.
In today’s world, avoiding digital devices is pretty much impossible. So many people use digital devices that it is estimated about 70 percent of the adults in the U.S. experience digital eye strain. Luckily, there are ways to protect and combat the effects of digital eye strain.
