Blue Light is a scarecrow in recent years. It spoils sleep, tangles the head and still destroys eyes. Or not? “The eyes themselves really do not affect,” this myth refutes the head of the eye clinic in our podcast. But that the screen of the tablet, computers or mobile eyes would not destroy the eyes, that is also not true.

Go from that screen, you spoil your eyes! You may use it too. And you are even partially right. But not at all because at that moment your loved ones or children shine into the eyes of the so -called blue light. “Blue light affects the brain. The lights perceive it as an indicator and activate the brain because of it. And when you supply it to the body at night when it is to calm down, you are canceling the natural curve of the daily rhythm,” explains Lucie Valešová.
Little movement
So what really bothers the eyes? Basically, we look at the monitors too close. When observing any screen we forget to blink. “The eyes dry out and the like, as if you have a dirty windshield in the car, so you have to squint and strain your eyes all the more to focus,” the expert describes.
Moreover, because of the proximity of the screen, the eye focuses more than it is pleasant. “The eye muscle is actually constantly focused when looking at the monitor or screen. He is constantly stressing and never resting properly because he is natural for him to focus and then rest again. Just as if you were not moving in a dumbbell but kept it upstairs,” adds Lucie Valešová.
Twenty rule
The help is quite simple. The doctor recommends following the so-called rule 20-20-20. “It means that every 20 minutes we should divert sight from the screen for at least 20 seconds and look at 20 feet in distance, which is a little more than five meters,” he explains. In short, peel off your eyes from the computer and. The focusing muscle in the eye will rest and will be able to continue the strenuous work without harm.
