Blue light is a high-energy, short-wavelength light that penetrates deep into the eye. While some blue light exposure is beneficial, especially during the day, excessive exposure—particularly from digital screens—can cause several issues, including:
Digital Eye Strain: Prolonged screen time can lead to discomfort, dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches, commonly known as digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome.
Disrupted Sleep Patterns: Blue light exposure, especially in the evening, interferes with the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep. This can result in poor sleep quality and difficulty falling asleep.
Retinal Damage: Long-term exposure to blue light may contribute to retinal cell damage, potentially increasing the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss.
Given these risks, protecting your eyes from excessive blue light exposure is essential. This is where supplements like Sightcare come into play.
