Today, most of our daily lives are in front of a computer screen. Phone, tablet and electronic media screens for more than 8 hours a day Therefore, it is inevitable that the eyes will be exposed to blue light from these devices as well. This blue light is a silent threat that directly affects our eyes. Three risk conditions caused by blue light are.
1. Digital Eye Strain: Fatigue, itching, pain, burning eyes, blurred vision, double vision, headache, eye pain, tearing, dry eyes, eyes are more sensitive to light.
2. Optic nerve cell death when the eyes are exposed to blue light. Will result in eye cells to deteriorate faster. abnormal vision faster Because high-energy light waves induce the generation of free radicals (Free Radical) in the cells of the retina.
3. Macular degeneration A visual aid chemical in the retina known as retinal reacts to blue light. causing toxic molecules to destroy the photoreceptor cell membrane until the cells die This results in permanent vision loss because the retina is unable to transmit neurotransmitters to the brain.
4. Dry Eye disease (Dry Eye) causes itching, irritation or burning in the eyes, in some cases may experience red eye symptoms as well. These symptoms are more common among people who wear contact lenses. and stay in air-conditioned room all the time People who have surgery or laser eye surgery And if left dry for a long time may result in eye inflammation. and risk of eye infections This may cause further vision problems in the future.
5. Cataract (Cataract) has blurred vision, white melasma, which each person has different severity of symptoms.
Ways to protect your eyes from blue light include.
1. Reduce device screen brightness.
2. Install a film on the screen of various devices to help filter blue light.
3. Rest your eyes every 30 minutes, close your eyes for 1 minute, look away for 30 seconds, and place a warm washcloth over your eyes for 1-2 minutes.
4. Wear goggles to filter the radiation from the screens of various devices.
5. Blink 1-2 times per 10 seconds.
6. Get a vitamin supplement to take care of your eyes. with bilberry extract and enhancing the function of the eyes with lutein
Bilberry is a blue-purple fruit. the same family as all berries And the researcher Michael T. Murray (Michael T. Murray) has said that the substance. anthocyanosides (Anthocyanosides), blue or purple substances found in bilberries. An important feature is antioxidants that play a role in the eyes Affects retinal epithelial cells in vision. and reduce eye fatigue Helps prevent cataracts and prevent macular degeneration It also helps strengthen collagen in eye capillaries and connect tissues better. Reduce dry eyes, eye fatigue and help relieve night blindness. Improves visibility in dim conditions Regulates the function of the retina, prevents light blindness. and invisibility during the day.
Lutein is a nutrient in a group known as xanthophylls. (xanthophylls) look like a yellow substance. in the carotenoid class (Carotenoids) are nutrients that help slow down the degeneration of the retina. Inside the retina is a small groove that contains cells that receive images from the retina. is the point where the light hits and make it possible to see a clear picture each day which in this area will find a lot of lutein It is found in the tissue layer that nourishes the nerves. which is the point that is very important to see If the area deteriorates or loss of duty It can cause vision loss or blindness.
Lutein plays an important role in filtering light. It is an antioxidant in the eyes. It is also important to protect the retina. Lutein works in conjunction with DHA and AA fatty acids to help improve children’s visual development.
