Why is blue light protection so important?
More blue light exposure – independent of age.
The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected our work and personal lives, and research has shown that people of all ages are spending more time on digital devices.
Besides facing potentially harmful blue light emitted by the sun, people also spend more time indoors where buildings are nowadays equipped with blue light-emitting LEDs.
What is digital eyestrain?
We are constantly surrounded by light sources like digital devices and LED lights that emit disproportionally high amounts of blue light.
Blue light tends to scatter throughout the vitreous humor when entering the eye, causing so-called “visual noise”.
This could be perceived as discomfort glare and reduction in contrast perception. Additionally, blue light causes longitudinal aberrations that may lead to blurred images. This unfocused “visual noise” can contribute to visual discomfort and symptoms associated with digital eye strain.
Headaches, blurred vision, dry or burning eyes are all common symptoms of digital eye strain (DES).
ZEISS BlueGuard Lenses: The next generation of blue light blocking glasses
With previous products like the ZEISS BlueProtect coating, blue light blocking is achieved by applying a coating to blue light filter glasses.
With ZEISS BlueGuard, blue light blocking properties are now an intrinsic part of the chemical make-up of the lens material. In addition to blocking the potentially harmful blue light from the sun, it also filters irritating digital blue light.
