Research shows blue light is a contributory factor<br />
in eye damage particularly macular degeneration.<br />
As opposed to red or near-infrared light – blue<br />
light has a damaging affect on the photoreceptor<br />
cells in the eyes.<br />
Blue light may also be a contributory factor in<br />
other serious ailments, as it inhibits the secretion<br />
of melatonin - the hormone regulating sleep-wake<br />
cycles and regenerative sleep.<br />
Macular degeneration is irreversible. It is the degeneration<br />
of part of the retina known as the macula.<br />
This is considered normal in the aging process<br />
for seniors ranging in their 60s to 70s.<br />
When purchasing light bulbs or asking someone<br />
to, try find some analog bulbs and not LED bulbs.<br />
If you have to get halogen bulbs, choose the<br />
low-voltage incandescent halogen lights.<br />
The best colour bulb to purchase is warm white as<br />
opposed to cool white.<br />
Limit your exposure – particularly at night, to blue<br />
light and light emanating off computer, television<br />
and smart phone screens.<br />
Sleep in a darkened room. Use an eye mask to<br />
protect your eyes, and for a more relaxing, deeper<br />
sleep.<br />
Health Practitioners recommend eating foods that<br />
support eye health – particularly Omega-3 fats,<br />
blueberries, leafy greens and vegetables.<br />
Be more aware of your exposure to blue light to<br />
avoid further or permanent eye damage. Seniors –<br />
your eye health is important.<br />
