Blue light is a high-energy visible light emitted by electronic devices and sunlight, with wavelengths between 380-500 nm, affecting both skin and eyes.
Prolonged exposure to blue light can lead to skin aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation, similar to UV radiation.
Blue light exposure from screens can cause digital eye strain, leading to symptoms like dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches, due to prolonged device use.
Blue light exposure, especially in the evening, can disrupt circadian rhythms and melatonin production, leading to poor sleep quality and insomnia.
Excessive exposure to blue light may contribute to retinal damage over time, increasing the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Use blue light filtering screen protectors or glasses to reduce exposure from digital devices, minimizing eye strain and potential long-term damage.
Decrease screen brightness and enable night mode or blue light filters on electronic devices to reduce the amount of blue light emitted, particularly during evening hours.
Take regular breaks from screens, practice the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds), and incorporate outdoor activities to minimize overall blue light exposure and promote eye health.
