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