Add screen filters to computer screens, tablets and smart phones to reduce blue light emissions.

Blue Light is the specific section of the visible light spectrum that can have harmful effects to our eyes and sleep.

Artificial blue light is emitted from LED lighting and from digital devices. Our close proximity to the device when viewing, especially over long periods of time, means that the harmful blue light can affect us and our children’s wellbeing.

The rays of the sun may appear to be colorless, but they're actually made up of red, blue, orange, yellow, green and violet hues. Red and orange are located at one end of the visible light spectrum, while blue and violet are at the other.

Red rays have long wavelengths, but produce less energy. At the other end of the spectrum, the wavelengths are shorter, but the energy is stronger. Because blue rays emit higher amounts of energy, they're more likely to affect your eyes.

Most of your exposure to blue light comes from the sun, but you can't avoid exposure simply by staying indoors. In addition to computer monitors and smartphones, blue light is produced by tablets, LED and fluorescent lights, LED light from TVs and compact fluorescent light bulbs.

Although blue light plays an important role in maintaining the sleep/wake cycle, regulating your mood and keeping your memory sharp, it may harm your eyes.

Long exposure to blue light may have been responsible for your symptoms. Blue light lowers the contrast on screens, causing the condition. Other factors that can contribute to eyestrain include poor lighting, failing to take regular breaks, less frequent blinking and dry air.

Long-term exposure to blue light may increase your risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD occurs when the macula, the area of the retina responsible for central vision, is damaged.

It is known that light exposure suppresses melatonin secretion. Melatonin is a hormone which can influence circadian rhythms. Lower melatonin levels may explain the preliminary evidence of links to cancer.

Fluorescent light bulbs and LED lights do provide more energy efficiency than traditional incandescent bulbs. They also give off more blue light. Incandescent lights do produce some blue light, although less than most of the fluorescent light bulbs available.

During the two to three hours right before bed, avoid viewing bright screens.

Wear blue-blocking glasses or download an app to filter blue and green wavelength at night. This will help those that need to use electronic devices at night and individuals working night shifts.

Red light has the least influence on the circadian rhythm. Consider using dim red lights in bedrooms.

Use computer glasses that have yellow-tinted lenses that increase contrast and help block blue light.

Wear anti-reflective lenses to block blue light from digital devices and the sun.

Consider choosing an Intraocular lens (IOL) that protects eyes from blue light. This will replace a cloudy lens during cataract surgery.

For children, especially from birth to age three, the crystal lenses in their eyes are not fully developed. So it goes straight through, it causes a lot more damage in children’s eyes than it does in adults.

Blue light does affect the body’s circadian rhythm, our natural wake and sleep cycle. During the day, blue light wakes us up and stimulates us. But too much blue light exposure late at night from your phone, tablet or computer can make it harder to get to sleep.

Blue light from computer screens and digital devices can decrease contrast leading to digital eyestrain. Fatigue, dry eyes, bad lighting, or how you sit in front of the computer can cause eyestrain. Symptoms of eyestrain include sore or irritated eyes and difficulty focusing.

Studies suggest that continued exposure to blue light over time could lead to damaged retinal cells. This can cause vision problems like age-related macular degeneration.

After cataract surgery, the cloudy lens will be replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL). The lens naturally protects the eye from almost all ultraviolet light and some blue light. There are types of IOL that can protect the eye and retina from blue light.

Screen filters are available for smart phones, tablets, and computer screens. They decrease the amount of blue light given off from these devices that could reach the retina in our eyes.

Television enjoys a de facto monopoly on what goes into the heads of a significant part of the population and what they think.

The only way to real mature love is to get past the tropes of what we consider 'romance.'

If you want to be in the world I live in, which is a creative world with new ideas, then you've got to get away from the norm. You've got to go for it.

I am a product of nepotism. I don't think I would have had the profession that I'm in currently... if it wasn't for my dad.

I believe this country was built on a simple promise: that each of us deserves a fair shot.

It's more interesting isn't it, if I've got a hedonistic dark side?

My earliest memory is of sitting at Mum's dance school, watching her teach a ballet class.

When I was little, my mother taught me how to use a fork and knife. The trouble is that Mother forget to teach me how to stop using them!

You have to give people the opportunity to prove themselves.

I grew up reading Proust all my life, and he's very dear to me.

Simple genome engineering of bacteria and yeast is just the beginning of the rise of the true biohackers. This is a community of several thousand people, with skill sets ranging from self-taught software hackers to biology postdocs who are impatient with the structure of traditional institutional lab work.

I think people have always liked in me the combination of being the underdog because I'm a tiny woman but I have enormous authority in myself.

As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.
