Effect of Blue Light on Eyes
We encounter blue UV radiation on a daily basis from our phones, tablets, computers, and any other electronic screen. This radiation can be extremely damaging to our eyes, increasing our risks for age related macular degeneration and other retinal issues. We also will experience an increase of eye fatigue and strain when looking at a monitor throughout the day. Blue light also inhibits the production of melatonin, causing problems with our sleep wake cycle.
