These blue wavelength are quite short and are able to penetrate the eye easier getting deeper into the eye. This makes it difficult for the mechanisms the eye has in place to protect itself from harmful radiations to work against this wavelength since shorter wavelengths move faster and penetrate easier.

Research has thus found out that this blue radiation is responsible for numerous conditions that affect the eye the most common been dry eyes. It is even linked to glaucoma formation and progression and may facilitate the condition know as macular degeneration.

Most tech tools have now been fitted with a safety feature for the eye and all you have to do is turn it on. It may come in the form of blue light protection with the eye as a symbol or night light. All you have to do is turn it on and you get to protect yourself.

Again you need to make sure that you are using your gadgets in bright light since dim illumination opens up the pupil and allows more of the radiation to enter. Aside all these though the best safety feature you can implement is to visit your optometrist for the blue-block protective lenses.

These lenses block these radiations 100% and enable you to be absolutely safe and free from the variety of conditions that afflict us as a result.
