Updates & Information From Our Vision Care Center
To our loyal patients,
COVID-19 has impacted just about every aspect of our lives. Especially important is the impact on our eye health. With the increased usage of digital devices by children doing distance learning to adults working from home, don’t overlook the impact of eyestrain and the harmful effects of blue light.
What is blue light?
- High energy visible light
- Emitted from all digital devices
- Suspected to cause permanent retinal damage
Harmful effects of blue light:
- Fatigue, eye strain from overuse of digital devices
- Difficulty falling asleep and/or waking up
- Dry eyes
- Headaches, disorientation
- Increased risk of macular degeneration
- Increased risk of cancer, breast or prostate
3 tips to reduce digital eyestrain:
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule: For every 20 minutes, look away at some object 20 feet away for 20 minutes. Breaks along the way can prevent burn out of the brain and eyes!
- Wear blue light filter lenses to reduce eyestrain
- Get your eyes checked to determine if you need prescription computer glasses
Similar to any hobby or sports, you need the proper equipment or tool to perform at your best. People are using digital devices over 10 hours per day. Do you have the proper eyeglass prescription for your computer work or digital devices?
