What is the blue light?
Have your eyes ever felt tired after staring at a digital screen for hours at a time? You are not alone! Studies have suggested a connection between the blue light emitted from our digital screens (computer monitors, tablets and phones) and the digital eye strain that results from viewing them for extended periods of time. In addition, nighttime exposure to blue light from digital screens has been shown to cause a state of wakefulness that makes it more difficult to relax and fall asleep.
Blue light is all around us. It comes primarily from the sun, outdoors and through windows indoors.
