That’s right, our eyes can struggle to filter blue light from the sun, lighting in homes and backlit screens😵 In fact children are more at risk as the lens in their eyes does not develop until their teenage years which means they’re even more susceptible to UV & blue light damage which can also affect them later in life⌛️ Furthermore, important macular pigments in the eye act as natural protective layer against blue light, but this deteriorates as part of the ageing process. That means older generations are also more at risk and should be limiting blue light exposure as well as eating more foods such as green vegetables which contain lutein and zeaxanthin which can boost pigment levels💡
