Each day we use digital devices to socialize, learn, work and play. However the constant use of screens can harm our eyes.
Have you ever experienced eye fatigue at the end of the day? Irritated eyes? Headache? Have you even feel pain in your neck? Probably this is because of the impact of digital life in your eyes.
Our eyes never stop working as they have to:
- Bear the brightness of the screens: Our eyes concentrate on light focuses during long periods of time. This makes more difficult for the eyes to focus on objects and this makes them to do a double effort.
- They have to tolerate an important exposition to blue light. Although blue light also comes from the sun, digital screens make our eyes absorb it more intensively. Blue light help us to regulate our circadian rhythm but, in excess, it can produce eye fatigue.
- Adjust themselves to different focus distances during long periods of time.
- Read little pixeled types. Our eyes are not designed to see little screens and interpret the information shown in them (This information is sometimes very pixeled and our eyes have to make a harder effort)
Lenses designed for connected life
Essilor, worldwide leader in design and manufacturing of lenses, have created special lenses which will allow you to see easily (even if you do not need eyeglasses) and keep connected to digital life. They are the Eyezen Lenses.
These lenses incorporate technological advances which protect your eyes from blue light and, furthermore, they help them to focus in a better way for short distances. All this makes easier to use digital devices and to reduce the appearance of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD).
