What are anti-blue light glasses?
Anti-blue light glasses are one of the greatest modern inventions for preventive vision care. Excessive use of computers or mobile phones will no longer be a problem for your eyes with these glasses. Their lenses are made up of yellowish molecules that filter blue light rays. Therefore, they reduce the impact of this light on your retina.
What is blue light?
Sunlight, although we perceive it as white light, is made up of different colors and intensities depending on its transmission wave. Blue light is a type of color within all the spectrums that sunlight has. Blue light travels through a short wavelength that allows it to penetrate the eye immediately. According to specialists, the eye is less resistant to blue light than to UV light.
Since the 1980s, exposure to UV light and blue light has been associated with eye diseases, as well as other pathologies such as insomnia. This does not mean that this light is bad, the problem lies in the massive exposure we have in our daily lives. Blue light is found in the natural environment, but in a minimal percentage.
The proliferation of LED screens, which have allowed us to develop technology better, leads to prolonged exposure of our eyes to this light.
Since 2001, Celia Sánchez Ramos, a doctor in preventive medicine and an expert in optics and optometry, has studied the effect that light in general has on vision. Over time, she has researched the light from technological devices and has discovered the effects of blue light on the retina .
After several investigations and experiments , he managed to create lenses with protection against blue light . The studies are still being developed, since this research is quite new, to scientifically verify the hypotheses raised around this topic.
In short, anti-blue light glasses are so far one of the best preventive methods for macular deterioration. Bassol Optics offers you the best brands to purchase your anti-blue light glasses.
