The dangers of blue light: what is it and how can we protect against its threat?

A growing body of medical research is beginning to focus on the role played by harmful blue light in damaging the eye, leading to conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

This has been prompted by two global factors: an ageing population and a younger generation making regular, heavy use of blue light-emitting technology.

In this whitepaper we examine the effects of blue light, the eye’s natural resistance to it, and how that resistance can be bolstered.
