Protecting Eyes From ‘Bad’ Blue Light

 

The world can be a dangerous place, especially if viewed through the naked eye.  The threat posed by exposure to ultraviolet light is well known to eyecare professionals, and a growing number of consumers are becoming aware of it as well, thanks to advertising by sunglass companies . Protect your eyes with sun lenses wear lenses that block UV rays up to 400 nanometers. Now a new ocular threat has emerged in the form of High Energy Visible (HEV) light. HEV is prevalent not just outdoors, but indoors as well. The indoor threat is posed largely by digital devices such as computer screens, tablets, smartphones and televisions, particularly the new flat screen models with OLED screens.
