SECTION 1: HOW BLUE LIGHT AFFECTS THE EYE AND BODY
Chapter 1: A Close Look at Our Eyes
Our eyes are our dominant sensory organs. More than most other animals, we rely on sight to gain information about our surroundings.
Chapter 2: Blue Light and Displays
Although the dangers of UV rays from the sun have been known for years, we are only now recognizing that visible blue light from digital screens (and sunlight) also may pose risks to the health of our eyes.
Chapter 3: Digital Eye Strain
At its simplest, digital eye strain is eye and vision-related, caused by spending extended periods of time on computers, tablets, smart phones, or gaming consoles.
Chapter 4: Circadian Rhythm
Today’s digital generation is sleeping less than previous generations, and blue light in excess of normal daytime dosages may be a cause.
Chapter 5: Visual Acuity and Dry Eyes
Extended periods of exposure to blue light from digital displays can affect our ability to maintain clear vision, interpret images and avoid stressful symptoms including eye fatigue and headache.
