#REDUCEBLUELIGHT
What is Blue Light?
Light is made up of electromagnetic particles that travel in waves. The waves emit energy, and vary in length and strength.
Blue light has a very short wavelength, and therefore produces a higher amount of energy.
The human eye is sensitive to only the visible light section of the spectrum, which we see as colors: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
Tired, dry eyes,
headaches, or
blurry vision?
Where is Blue Light?
Blue light is everywhere, and unavoidable. Most exposure is from the sun, but artificial sources of blue light are increasingly prevalent.
Some blue light is beneficial, but too much can cause digital eye stress.
