Why Blue Light Is Bad for Your Health?

Blue light comes naturally from the sun and artificially from our digital devices. Spending hours in front of your device, it can have adverse effects on your health. For example, if you are working from home, you probably spend more than 8 hours per day in front of your computer.

• Working from home

Very often when we are in front of our digital devices like mobile phones, laptops, tablets, TV, etc., we don’t think about the possible harmful effects of blue light. Working from home means spending hours in front of our computer. This is bad because our eyes are working under pressure to stay focused and concentrated. The more complex the work, the worse the eye conditions are becoming because more effort is needed, and that has a negative impact not only on your eyes² and vision but also on your health in general.

• Staying on your device

Watching your favorite TV show is one way where you can’t leave your device. Also, if you like reading your favorite book online and staying on your tablet for hours, for example, computer reading glasses can be a perfect solution for maintaining good eye health.

• Better sleep

Maybe you can’t fall asleep without watching a movie or some interesting show. In this case, wearing blue light blocking glasses is a must.
