Reduce exposure to blue light
Blue light is one of the main causes of eye fatigue. It is part of the light spectrum emitted by almost all current screens (computers, smartphones, tablets) and LEDs. But today, it is impossible to escape screens, even if it is just to work, study, or have fun! 📱💻
To reduce exposure to blue light, you can set up yellow screen filters, or free software that will adjust the light on your screens so as not to damage your eyes. Some progressive filters change throughout the day to adapt to the ambient light.
Many opticians and pharmacies also offeranti blue light glasses, which allow the eye to filter this light and to be less attacked by contact with the screens.
Finally, simply adjusting your time in front of screens, by paying attention or by setting up time regulating applications will already allow you to stay less attached to your screens, and to rest your eyes better! 😴
Finding the right optical correction
Despite these simple and cost-effective solutions, eye fatigue and its various symptoms may persist. In this case, it is recommended to consult an optician to assess your vision and find a suitable solution.
Whether you need glasses, contact lenses, or anti-blue light glasses, it is important to protect your eyes! 🤓
In addition to these corrections, frequent use of the eye massager will allow you to better rest your eyes, reduce headaches and enjoy a pleasant moment of relaxation.
