Do You Have Computer Vision? What to Know About the Dangers of Blue Light

Are you reading this on a smartphone? What about a tablet or computer? In any case, you're being exposed to blue light right now. These days, with our constant exposure to technology, we're getting more blue light now than ever before. Want to learn more about blue light exposure and what you can do about it? Dr. Han at M-Eye Vision has the answers. She's a top Optometrist in Katy, TX, and she's ready to take care of all of your vision needs. Now, let's take a look at the biggest blue light dangers.

Sleep Interruption

First of all, the blue light interrupts your sleep. Basically, blue light contains a lot of energy. It sends signals to your brain that tell you to wake up. That's fine during the day. As a matter of fact, the sun itself emits blue light rays. That's why spending time outside can give you more energy. However, blue light at night can harm your sleep cycle. Those "wake up" messages can prevent you from getting a good night's sleep. If you've been feeling tired lately, you can probably blame your nighttime smartphone use.

Eye Aging

We do a lot of things to prevent premature aging. We take our vitamins, keep up with skincare, and try to avoid stress. Do you ever think about premature eye aging, though? If you use a smartphone, you should. It turns out that too much blue light can damage your eyes, making them age faster. Blue light can damage your retinal cells, causing macular degeneration.

What You Can Do About It

How can you avoid the dangers of blue light? You reduce your blue light exposure, of course. During the day, you can use blue light filters to reduce your exposure. Some phones, computers, and tablets let their users adjust their light displays. Look for settings like "night mode" on your technology to avoid eye strain. At night, you should avoid these technologies altogether. Try to stop your phone and tablet use at least an hour before bed.
