Blue light penetrates to the retina and too much exposure can damage light-sensitive cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we\u2019re flooded with blue light everywhere we go. Think about how retailers, office buildings, gas stations and more are completely lit up 24\/7 with LED lighting, compact and overhead fluorescents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/eye-1-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4383\" width=\"524\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/eye-1-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/eye-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/eye-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/eye-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where is Our Biggest Exposure to Blue Light?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The real vision danger comes from the use of electronic devices. We tend to sit closer to them, use them for extended periods of time and blink less frequently. They include digital screens and electronic devices such as: smartphones, TVs, computers, tablets and gaming systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header3\">How is Blue Light Harmful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blue light waves are the among the shortest, highest energy wavelengths you see. Due to length, they flicker more easily than longer, weaker wavelengths. Flickering creates a glare that decreases visual contrast that affects sharpness and clarity of detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, our eyes can&#8217;t filter blue rays or artificial light and exposure can cause eyestrain, mental\/physical fatigue, headaches, sleeplessness and more. Long-term, prolonged exposure may lead to very serious vision issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header4\">Daily Hidden Vision Risks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1-eye.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4444\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1-eye.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1-eye-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Age<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1-burger.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4461\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1-burger.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1-burger-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Poor diet (sugar &amp;

Unfortunately, this ability diminishes with age. Anyone over 40 is familiar with this as reading fine print becomes more difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/health-and-wellness\/why-are-my-eyes-so-dry\/\">Dry Eye<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tears provide moisture and lubrication to help you see and keep your eyes comfortable. Dry eyes may feel gritty, itchy, red, or be sensitive to light. Ironically, even if your eyes are watering, you could still have dry eye as these kinds of \u201ctears\u201d are mainly water and lack the lubricating, protective mixture of real tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Eyestrain<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eyestrain is extremely common and occurs when your eyes get tired from extended use or when working in inadequate or excessive light. It can be aggravating and uncomfortable but, usually goes away when you rest your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded wp-duotone-000000-00a5ff-1\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"    src=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blue-light-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"woman looking at blue light\" class=\"wp-image-7829\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blue-light-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blue-light-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blue-light-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/blue-light.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Header6\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/vision-health-lutein\/\">Natural Ways to Protect Your Vision<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/Vision-Health-Lutein\/Lutein-Plus-30-capsules.axd\">Lutein<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, a carotenoid found in many yellow and orange pigmented fruits and vegetables, acts as an antioxidant, helping protect and maintain healthy cells. Studies have shown that ingested lutein helps enhance visual performance and sensitivity to light and glare. Since our bodies do not make lutein, the only way to obtain it is through the foods we eat, nutritional supplements or fortified foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zeaxanthin <\/strong>protects the blood vessels and capillaries that supply your macular region as they deliver oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood to your whole eye: macular, retina, lenses and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicchoice.com\/vitamins\/a-vitamins\/\">Vitamin A<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is vital for your eyes because it helps maintain the integrity of the membranes around your eyes and keeps your corneas moistened and lubricated.
