Protection from blue light filters through glasses?

Wednesday, December 09, 2009

Some time ago wrote me at this point about the harmful for our eyes or the retina blue light in the light of "energy saving lamps" fluorescent lights and computer screens.

This too high a proportion of blue light is not only to hormone production relevant (interferes z. B. the pineal = pineal gland and its production of darkness hormone melatonin), but also can directly lead to damage to the retina, which can be virtually "burned".

Before I explained to me in detail the subject of "light biology," I asked, in fact, for me, which I often work several hours a day on the PC, regularly a sharp pain as it were "back in the eye" fixed.

So I was thinking, as announced here, finally a yellow PC Goggles to which I define now a day for more than three months.

My familiarization period was zero because my somewhat modified color spectrum (direction yellow) did not present any problems, either in writing or otherwise. I did the same to me the "Heavy version" so do not bother the "Light-glasses" risen, but thought , "more is better", because I do a lot of sitting.

The stabbing pain in the eye "background" stopped abruptly.

However: The yellow goggles can not prevent that, after a few hours of work (for me at least as approximately by 2 clock at night Wink ), Eventually gets dry eyes - to go a character to lose weight and sleep glasses ...

The sight - guarded like our eyeball?

bedenkliches Blaulicht

ominous blue light

In the current Swiss journal magazine no. 62/09 , I found a very informative contribution to the biology of light. After reading I understood much better why artificial light, and especially so-called. Full-spectrum, warm tone, daylight or fluorescent organic so harmful to our bodies and most of all are for our eyes.

Our traditional incandescent lamp emits a natural light spectrum and is thus similar to sunlight. Your light is characterized by an appropriate balance of the shares of visible light; therefore it is also called full-spectrum light.

Completely different is the contrast with the so-called. Fluorescent lamps, which include all bulbs listed above. Their light spectrum consists mainly of isolated peaks of individual excessive frequencies of light. "So what?" You might ask, "if it is because energy-saving" one ...

Apart from the fact that the so-called. Energy saving lamps save any energy, since they are special because of their mercury content, and you also the high production and disposal costs in a kind of fudged "garbage males bill" does not take into account that light indeed a form suddenly became clear to me, from Food is - not only for our eyes but for our entire organism. Through the years of controversy of the mass media against the natural sunlight, we have completely lost sight of what we actually do to us with the "wrong" sunlight! (more ...)
