The increasing use of digital devices has led to heightened exposure to blue light, particularly from screens. This has raised concerns about the potential health impacts of blue light on various aspects of human health, including sleep, ocular health, and skin.
Impact on Sleep and Circadian Rhythms:
Ocular Health:
Skin Health:
Cognitive Performance:
Blue light exposure from screens has significant impacts on sleep, ocular health, and skin. It suppresses melatonin production, disrupts circadian rhythms, and can cause retinal and skin damage. However, blue light-blocking measures can mitigate some of these adverse effects. While blue light can enhance cognitive performance in the short term, its long-term health implications necessitate further research and protective strategies.
