Eye Care Today

Blue Light

In today's world, we are surrounded by technology, which has lead to some major changes in our daily lives. The amount of time we spend on electronic devices has increased our productivity in many ways; however, our eyes were not designed to look at digital screens for as long as we currently do. A certain spectrum of blue light emitted from all our electronics has been found to increase eye strain, eye fatigue, and wakefulness at night. Blue light has also been implicated in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). 

Advances in eyewear lens technologies have recently been developed to combat these harmful effects by absorbing the blue light. We offer high quality lenses and lens treatments such as Blu-Tech and Hoya Recharge anti-reflective coating to reflect and absorb the harmful blue light spectrum. If you're interested in learning more about what can be done to protect your eyes for long-term health, we encourage you to ask our staff at your next visit!
