Blue light is not harmful to your health, but it can be harmful to your eyes. Blue light is very bright and can cause glare. Therefore, avoid direct contact with blue light.
Blue light negatively affects the metabolic processes taking place in the retina of the eye, which over time leads to damage to photoreceptors and macular degeneration. Eyesight damage lasts a long time, it happens slowly and you don't see it right away, but after years.
The blue light emitted by electronic devices can be harmful to our eyesight and health. First of all, the blue light emitted by devices such as TVs, smartphones, computers and tablets can disrupt our body's circadian rhythm and interfere with natural sleep.
In addition, prolonged exposure to the light emitted by these devices can cause vision problems such as eye fatigue and pain.
Therefore, it is worth minimizing our exposure to blue light, especially before bedtime, and avoiding prolonged viewing of screens. Take frequent breaks working at the computer and during these breaks do not stare at other screens.
