Does Blue Light do Harm to Children?

More and more children are not exposed to smart devices under the age of five，as we become more and more dependent on technology. These devices have also become indispensable teaching tools in classrooms - more than half of American teachers use smart devices in primary schools. According to the U.S. Department of education, 97% of classrooms in the United States have at least one computer. Time on the school screen, combined with the time spent using smart devices at home, causes students aged 8-18 to be exposed to the media for more than 10 hours a day on average. Many children wear anti screen glasses because more and more contact has caused a lot of problems.

Problems caused by blue light

One of the biggest health problems associated with smart devices is vision. A recent study by the National Institute of Ophthalmology found that the frequency of myopia in Americans has increased exponentially in recent decades.

We have cornea on the outside and retina on the inside. Although the cornea is very powerful, only less than 1% of ultraviolet light can penetrate into the retina; but it is completely unprotected against blue light, blue light can be driven through the cornea and directly into the retina. Anti blue light lenses are to reduce the blue light into the eyes so as to protect us. With the increasing number of electronic products, there are more and more cases of digital visual fatigue (DEF). Blue light is the main cause of digital visual fatigue. Every year, more than 400000 people in China go to the hospital for examination because of eye fatigue, and blue light is the main cause of inducing digital visual fatigue. And many anti blue rays will take into account the blue light fatigue effect, they have the role of reducing fatigue.

Blue light can also cause glare. Glare refers to visual discomfort caused by unsuitable brightness distribution in the field of vision. In severe cases, it can cause nausea, discomfort or even blindness. Because the blue light meets the fine particles in the air, the scattering rate is high, which is the main reason for glare. Blue light also affects children's sleep. If children watch electronic products before going to bed, it will be more difficult to fall asleep. And wearing anti glare glasses for kids can also reduce the harm.

Blue light is very harmful, especially for children with delicate eyes. Because the baby's lens is clearer, it can't filter the blue light. The blue light transmittance of 0-2-year-old children is 70% - 80%, and that of 2-10-year-old children is 60% - 70%. Their photoreceptors are much more vulnerable than adults, so they do more harm. In addition, children have the nature of chasing light. Long term exposure to a large amount of blue light may lead to phototoxic damage to the retina of young children, and even lead to retinal holes and even blindness. Therefore, we strongly recommend that children choose a suitable anti blue light glasses for kids to protect their eyes.

Anti blue lens can effectively reduce the damage of blue light to the eyes. The short wave blue light emitted by the display screen of electronic products can cause the decay of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). But wear blue glasses for a long time will feel tired eyes, you can eat more vegetables, carrots, animal liver. Parents can prepare anti radiation glasses for kids. If you often need to work in front of a computer, you also need to prepare a suitable pair of glasses for yourself. Even some young people in order to get a better game experience, but also to avoid their eyes from a lot of damage, they will choose anti blue light gaming glasses.

Blue light is particularly harmful to the eyes, especially the reaction to eye cells. The anti blue light glasses can greatly reduce the harm of blue light to the eyes and play a role in protecting the eyes. If you are exposed to electronic products for a long time, rhodopsin on the retina will be consumed. It is very necessary to wear anti light glasses at this time. It is suggested that people who have been exposed to computers for a long time should wear blue glasses. Gingereye also provides us with many choices, from children's anti blue light glasses to anti blue light computer glasses, you can find the most suitable one here.
