Are blue light blocking glasses useful?
Anti-blue light glasses are useful. Special anti-blue light glasses can not only effectively isolate ultraviolet rays and radiation, but also filter blue light. They are very suitable for wearing when watching TV or using a computer. Nowadays, people's daily life is inseparable from computers and mobile phones, but these electronic products bring more convenience and fun to people, but also cause visual problems such as eye fatigue and deepening of myopia.
Some people pointed out that "the high-energy short-wave blue light emitted by electronic products is the main culprit in causing dry eyes, astringent eyes, and eye fatigue", so anti-blue light glasses came into being and sold well.
Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with very short wavelengths and enormous energy. While light does damage our eyes in some cases, there is currently no scientific evidence that blue light is harmful to our eyes. Many people still believe that blue light is really harmful, which is why blue light blocking glasses are so popular.
Rahul Khurana, MD, clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, told Business Insider: "Everyone is very concerned that blue light may cause eye damage, and this concern is legitimate, but there is no evidence that blue light may cause damage to the eyes. cause any irreversible damage to the eye".
But if blue light is harmless, why do we keep rubbing our eyes while looking at screens? The real answer is eye strain: over 60% of people suffer from eye strain caused by the use of electronic products. And blue light doesn't seem to be the cause of these problems. Our eyes are so tired because most people blink less often when staring at electronics.
That said, blue-light blocking glasses may be useless if eye strain is the real problem. Wearing it might help you sleep better, though. Because research has shown that blue light affects the body's circadian rhythm, the biological clock. According to Harvard researchers, any kind of light, including blue light, reduces the body's ability to produce melatonin, the hormone that helps you sleep.
