Since long the exposure to sunlight
has been widely debated upon with researchers talking about the danger it poses
to the eyes and overall wellbeing of a person. We have multiple brands
promoting their sunglasses and doctors advising to use such protections to
safeguard our vision. The effects have been significant with a reduction in vision
losses. But, still,Mankind is getting exposed to something other than the
sunlight also, which is the blue light.
Blue light is emitted by the sunlight,
but moreover,it is emitted more by artificial lighting, computer and mobiles
which are widely used. Due to a short wavelength, the blue produces more energy
and thereby adding to toxins production in eyes. This is not only restricted to
toxins but it also affects the lens, and prolonged exposure makes it turn into a
cataract. The artificial lighting also emits the blue light, but due to
flooding of lighting manufacturers everywhere this factor has been suppressed
with lighting manufacturers claiming that artificial lights are good for eyes
which are similar to sunlight. But, the researchers have been claiming that
most of our days are spent in artificial lighting, and these are harming the
people under the age group of 14 years and Senior citizens. Senior citizen
developing cataract has increased a high ratio as compared to earlier times.
This also causes blurred visions and makes an addition to degeneration of eyes
as a result of ageing. It also causes sleep-related disorders as the blue light
induces alertness and leads to insomnia in many cases.
To avoid the health hazards due to
blue light doctors at Dr Lite Medical LLChave recommended that we go for
lighting that reduces the blue light intake. Wearing anti-glare glasses while
working for long hours on computers, choosing to light that can easily adjust
to prevent the glare, sunglasses to avoid the exposure to UV rays during the daytime.
Further information can be accessed at Dr.Lite Medical LLC. The preventive measures can only
safeguard the eyes against the blue light, and for that choosing, safe lighting
is of utmost importance. For the generations to come, researchers and doctors,
both advise on being safe against the blue light and creating awareness about
it to make people have healthy eyes.
