Blue Light and Our Mobile Devices
Our mobile device screens have amazing optics, and they let us enjoy pictures, animations, games, shows, and more. But some of that light is harmful blue light which can contribute to digital eye strain.
What Is Blue Light?
Blue light is a visible color in the light spectrum. It’s in our natural world and the things we see every day. Blue light creates high amounts of energy. That why it’s often called high-energy visible (HEV) blue light. Our digital devices—like televisions, computers, tablets, and smartphones—generate a lot of blue light. Prolonged exposure to HEV blue light from screens has been linked to digital eye strain.
What Is Digital Eye Strain?
Consider how much you use your device screens for work, school, recreation, and more. We consistently expose our eyes to high-energy blue light. What are some signs that you may be getting too much exposure? Some symptoms of digital eye strain include:
- sleep loss and sleep disruption
- dry, irritated eyes
- blurred vision
