BENEFICIAL VS. HARMFUL BLUE LIGHT

Not all blue light is bad for you. However, Harmful Blue Light is. It is emitted from devices your patients use every day—like computers, smartphones, and tablets. And since 60% of people spend more than six hours per day on digital devices, your patients will likely be asking what they can do to protect their eyes from this prolonged exposure to Harmful Blue Light. Be prepared with these Essential Blue Series resources. 

BLUE LIGHT SPECTRUM. Blue-Violet Light, or Harmful Blue Light, is believed to be the most harmful to the retina. Blue-Turquoise Light has positive effects on the body, such as regulating the sleep/wake cycle.
