• Our eyes are very smart; they can see lots of light sources so you want to reduce the flicker in lighting. Flicker rate is something called Hertz. Aim to use devices with a lesser flicker rate.

• Children’s eye lenses don’t develop until they are teenagers, and the lens is an important natural filter for UV and blue light. Long-term exposure to blue light can eventually cause macular degeneration, which affects your central vision.

Two recommended steps to lessen the impact of blue light:

Dhruvin Patel 13:15

• The proximity of the device. Position your device or light source farther away from the eyes. 
• Turn down the brightness.

Frequent usage of devices

Dhruvin Patel 14:13

• Try not to use your devices the first hour when you wake up and the last hour before you sleep. Especially when you wake up and your body is in an alpha state, which means you’re more susceptible to what you’re taking in.
