In our digital world, most of us are exposed to blue light for 8–12+ hours a day — from phones, tablets, computers, and LED lighting. While not all blue light is harmful, prolonged exposure to high-energy visible (HEV) light can contribute to eye strain, disrupted sleep, and long-term oxidative stress in the retina.
Why Blue Light Matters:
· May accelerate macular degeneration
· Disrupts melatonin production and circadian rhythms
· Linked to digital eye strain, fatigue, and dry eyes
Blue light isn’t just an eye issue … it affects cognitive performance, hormone balance, and metabolic health, too. Protecting your eyes means protecting your brain.
Support & Protection Tips:
· Use blue light–filtering glasses or screen protectors
· Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds
· Get daily outdoor light exposure in the morning to reset circadian cues
· Support eye health with key nutrients: → Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Zinc, Omega-3s, Vitamin A
