What is blue light?
Blue light is a type of light that comes both from natural sources, for example, the Sun, as well as from artificial sources such as screens that we use daily (mobile phones, tablets, computers, televisions, LED bulbs…).
In fact, blue light has a short wavelength and therefore generates a greater amount of energy with harmful effects on health.
What are the risks of exposing yourself to blue light?
Consequences of not protecting the eyes correctly against blue light:
Eye fatigue. Light makes you work harder to focus. This causes that, by spending many hours exposed to blue light, certain symptoms appear such as redness of the eyes, headache and tired or dry eyes.
Change in circadian rhythms. Prolonged exposure to blue light reduces melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep. It is advisable to avoid the use of devices before going to sleep to avoid sleep disturbances.
