Yes, we’re all addicted to our devices, but a bit too much screen time can be harmful to your eye health. Digital eye strain is a very real thing—something that’s getting a lot of attention these days. According to EyeMed’s Joe Wende, “Blue-violet light rays derive naturally from the sun but also from digital devices like computers, tablets, smartphones and energy efficient indoor lighting. Research indicates that prolonged exposure to these sources of blue light can cause eye strain and may contribute to the early onset of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the gradual loss of clear sight.” What can you do about it?
