With all the time you’re spending in front of your mobile phone, computer or TV screen, it’s highly likely your eyes are not getting the care they need. Even with the common knowledge that digital devices can impair vision, most people tend to ignore this fact and continue to overexpose their eyes to the harmful blue light that these devices emit. Because while our eyes have lutein, a naturally-occurring antioxidant that protects the eyes from harmful blue light, it depletes as we age and, just like any other body part, requires proper care for it to be able to keep serving its purpose. Think long term and opt for lenses that both filter out blue light and protect the lutein in your eyes. For now, remember to stay vigilant, stay home, and above all, stay safe.
