If you think about it, you probably check your phone for messages first thing in the morning and right before you go to bed at night. The problem is: these devices emit an extremely dangerous blue light which has negative impacts on not only your health, but your vision too!
So how do these blue rays cause so much harm to our bodies? Firstly, it causes a strain on the eye. You’ll know you’re experiencing an eye-strain if your vision feels blurry after a long day on the computer. Working off the computer for extended periods of time, drops our blink-rate! You may even experience headaches or dizziness too!
All these symptoms are signs of eye-strain and if left untreated could lead to chronic problems in the future!
How do we protect our eyes from the big bad blue ray?
- Blink MORE – blinking lubricates the eye!
- Follow the 20-20-20 Rule – at 20 min intervals look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds; this will help reset your eyes!
- Cut back on technology use, especially before bed-time! Using your phone before you sleep hinders your body’s ability to sleep peacefully! Remember, sleep is sacred!
- Get glasses with special coatings to help filter out the blue light! – This option is offered at Crystalline Eyewear because we care about YOUR eye health! 🙂
