As kitchens and living rooms become classrooms and work-from-home office spaces, our time on mobile devices and looking at computer screens has increased, as has the closeness of those devices to our eyes. Computer monitors, smart phones, tablet screens, and Flat Screen LED TV’s give off high levels of blue light. Unless you and your loved ones are taking precautionary measures to combat blue light, such as wearing blue light glasses or taking breaks from screens every 20 minutes, you may be at risk for a variety of harmful eye conditions. Common eye health conditions resulting from extended blue light exposure include:
