Our professional environment and the world in which we live demand a very precise quality of vision, and it's not always easy for our eyes...
Indeed, every day, the majority of us spend between 6 and 10 hours in front of a screen. These screens and artificial lights that surround us (LEDs, phone, television, computer, e-reader, etc.), both at home and at work, have painful repercussions on our body and our vision.
The effects of blue light on our body
The effects of harmful blue light on our body are numerous:
- Dry and red eyes, burning sensations, eye irritations
- Visual fatigue leading to a desire to sleep in the middle of the day
- Photophobia, glare
- Headaches and back pain
- Stiff and aching neck, cervical pain
In the most serious cases, one can observe:
- Migraines in the evening after returning from work
- Loss of concentration at the end of the day
- Stress
It is also important to know that blue light can, in the long term, lead to AMD (age-related macular degeneration), which is characterized by the loss of central or peripheral vision (a blind spot in the field of vision), early cataracts, or chronic conjunctivitis.
This is why it is important to take precautions as early as possible.
Fighting against blue light
Depending on your profile, it is easy to protect yourself from harmful artificial blue light. Indeed, if you have:
- Under 40 and no vision problems, or if you wear contact lenses:
Non-prescription computer glasses equipped with Varionet Cool Blue® lenses are made for you. All brand-name glasses, RayBan, Hugo Boss... but also affordable frames can be equipped with these anti-blue light lenses. These glasses will accompany you throughout the day and help you regain visual well-being.
- Over 40 and presbyopic:
Computer glasses for presbyopia with an anti-blue light anti-glare treatment are available in several corrections: +1.00 to +3.50 (depending on your diopter).
They will allow you to work in front of a screen, providing not only ocular comfort but also clear vision up close and at an intermediate distance (up to 3m).
