The latest blue light technology is one of the hottest trends
in eyewear. A lot of research has been done to improve awareness about the
effect of Blue Light radiation and extended use of Digital Screens on the
eyesight. According to the latest
findings, the pandemic was a catalyst in terms of
affecting digital screen behaviours with the majority of people spending an
enormous time on their favourite gadgets like televisions, smartphones,
tablets, laptops and computers. Numerous studies also suggest that digital
screen overuse is a potential cause of disrupted sleep, headaches, migraines
and vision impairment.
So, what is Blue Light?
The Blue Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which
includes radiation with a range of wavelengths. Blue light can be found
everywhere as sunlight is considered as the largest source of blue light. Other
sources of artificial blue light include digital devices such as computers and
smartphones. This artificial blue light penetrates deep into the eye, which can
suppress the natural release of melatonin (the trigger in our brain that tells
us when it’s time to be asleep and awake).
A latest online report published by

over 9 hours behind a screen. Since COVID-19, over 50% watch more shows on
streaming services, 47% spend longer on social media and 46% spend longer on
messenger services thus resulting in a strong spike in screen time. As more
Australians learn about the harmful side effects of blue light, adults are
turning to blue light filter glasses for protection.
