WHAT IS BLUE LIGHT

We spend a large part of day using our electronic devices, from TV's, tablets, smart phones, or laptops, whether it's at work, at home, or anywhere in between. We're continually connected and exposed to the potential harm of blue light.

What is Blue Light?

Blue light (HEV - high energy visible) is part of the visible light spectrum found naturally in daylight hours from the sun or artificially from backlit digital devices. This can be broken down in to Blue-Violet and Blue-Turquoise light. Naturally occurring blue-turquoise light helps regulate your sleep and wake cycles (known as circadian rhythm), boosts your alertness, mood and general well-being. However, the increasing usage of backlit digital devices and excessive exposure to artificial blue light can have a negative affect by causing disruption to your circadian rhythm (by primarily suppressing the important sleep hormone, melatonin), digital related eye strain and headaches.
