What Is Blue Light?

Blue light has a short wavelength and is emitted from electronic devices. This includes tablets, computers, smartphones, and gaming systems. Blue light is a natural component of sunlight. However, the intense blue light from electronic devices can disrupt your natural sleep-wake cycle.

What Is Computer Vision Syndrome?

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) develops when you overexpose your eyes to blue light during prolonged screen time. Symptoms of CVS include the following:

  • Eye strain
  • Dry eyes
  • Headaches
  • Blurry vision

Blue light blocking lenses may alleviate these symptoms by reducing the amount of blue light that enters your eyes.

How to Avoid Computer Vision Syndrome

To prevent eyestrain, rest your eyes frequently when using your electronic devices. Here are a few ideas to help prevent CVS:

  • Rest your eyes for 15 minutes after two hours of computer use.
  • Every 20 minutes, look away from the computer for 20 seconds to rest and refocus your eyes.
  • Wear blue light lenses to protect your eyes.

You can preserve your vision without giving up your devices, and with a little help from your friends at Sites Vision Clinic.
