Your Eyes & Blue Light Blue light begins the visible range of the light spectrum. While some blue light waves contribute to color perception, other wavelengths of blue light may actually be harmful to your eye.² There are many sources of blue light in your everyday environment including sunlight and artificial lighting. Researchers believe that blue light may cause damage to the retina which could potentially contribute to macular degeneration or loss of vision.² The long-term effects of filtering blue light and the clinical efficacy of that filtering on the retina have not been conclusively established. The reason you may not have heard about blue light until now is because it has not been well publicized. Recent advances in artificial lens material have just now enabled this concern to be addressed for cataract patients. | | ||
