Does Your Family Use Technology?

Have you been hearing about blue light and want to know more about it? Blue light is everywhere at this point. There is good blue light and bad blue light. You need just the right amount of blue light so your body releases melatonin our sleep hormone but too much will keep you up at night. Blue light emits from the sun but also things like smart phones, televisions, tablets, computers, kindles, and all the new light bulbs. We are at a new all time high when considering our indoor blue light (HEV) exposure. Our eyes are only equipped to handle natural blue light exposure so they are being overexposed on a daily basis. Damage from overexposure which is considered over 4 hours daily is linked to poor sleep and an increased risk to AMD. There are a lot of new products out there to protect your vision some are of lesser quality that block all blue light, including the good blue light. We have available to you a few different options that will protect your vision (and sleep) while also helping improve CVS (computer vision syndrome) as the causes of both is very similar. Interested in learning more about blue light or your blue light protection options stop by any of our locations and ask our licensed Opticians more about it.
