In a digital age where we spend more time in front of screens than ever before, there has been increasing awareness about the effects of blue light . But what exactly is blue light, and why is it important to protect your eyes from it? In this article, we delve into what blue light is, how it affects our eyes, and the benefits of wearing blue light glasses.

What is blue light?

Blue light is part of the visible light spectrum and is naturally found in daylight. It is a short-wavelength, high-energy form of light that helps us stay awake and focused during the day. However, screens such as computers, smartphones, tablets and televisions also emit a large amount of artificial blue light, which can have a negative effect when we are exposed to it for long periods of time.

How does blue light affect your eyes?

Prolonged exposure to blue light can lead to a number of challenges, both in the short and long term:

  1. Eye strain and discomfort: Many people experience symptoms such as dry or tired eyes after several hours of screen use. This is often called "digital eye strain syndrome" and is caused by blue light forcing the eyes to work harder.

  2. Disrupted sleep rhythm: Blue light affects the production of melatonin – the hormone that regulates our sleep. Using screens right before bed can make it harder to fall asleep and disrupt your sleep quality.

  3. Long-term risks: There are also concerns that long-term exposure to blue light may contribute to retinal damage and increase the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a disease that can lead to vision loss.

How can you protect your eyes from blue light?

Fortunately, there are several ways you can reduce the effects of blue light and protect your eyes:

  1. Use blue light glasses: Blue light glasses are specially designed to filter blue light and reduce the amount of light hitting your eyes. They are perfect for both work, study and leisure in front of screens.

  2. Enable night mode on your devices: Many smartphones and computers have a "night mode" or "blue light filter" that reduces blue light. While it helps, it doesn't provide the same protection as glasses.

  3. Take screen breaks: Follow the 20-20-20 rule: For every 20 minutes you spend in front of a screen, look at something at least 20 feet (6 meters) away for 20 seconds.

  4. Cut down on screen time before bed: Try to avoid screens at least an hour before bed to improve your sleep quality.

The benefits of blue light glasses

Using blue light glasses offers many benefits in everyday life, especially if you spend a lot of time in front of screens:

  • Reduced eye strain: Blue light glasses make it more comfortable to use screens for longer periods.
  • Improved sleep: Less exposure to blue light before bed can help you fall asleep faster and get deeper sleep.
  • Style and comfort: Modern blue light glasses, such as Celaren's Bellano models , combine functionality with stylish design.
