LED technology and retinal damage

ST. CHARLES, Ill. - July 19, 2013 - PRLog -- LED technology and retinal damage

The bright, unhealthy light emitted from digital media devices may be adversely affecting your eyes. High-energy visible (HEV) light, commonly referred to as blue light, can cause retinal cell damage and is being studied as a possible cause of macular degeneration.

Crizal Prevencia No-Glare lenses work in 3 ways to protect your eyes:

Selectively filter out harmful light (Blue-Violet & UV)

Allow beneficial light to pass through (visible light, including Blue-Turquoise)

Maintain excellent transparency (clear No-Glare lens) for optimal vision at all times

LED technology in smart phones, tablets and other similar devices emits an intense bright, blue light. This distracting light causes other objects in your surrounding view to go in and out of focus. To correct this many of us will begin squinting. This is due in part because people tend to hold their mobile devices between two & nine inches closer to their eyes than they would printed reading material. The closer range causes strain on your eyes.

This is especially true for people who wear corrective eyewear or contact lenses. They are more likely to experience digital stress (http://www.wecare4eyes.com/FocusonEyeSafety.htm), as their prescription lenses may not have been designed for the mid-range distances of digital devices.
