Did you know, kids spend an average of eight-ten hours in front of a screen? True story! Especially with the current situation, kids are now spending even more time on digital devices thanks to Zoom Schools and free streaming days. Ten hours is a significant amount of time and a lot of blue light exposure to the young eyes. This may lead to conditions like digital eye strain, myopia and blurry vision in your kid.
Sounds alarming, doesn’t it? But more than ever, participating in the digital world has become a necessity than a choice. So today it’s fairly common for kids to spend their day surfing on the internet, engaging on social media, learning virtually from their laptops and having some fun watching their favorite cartoons on colossal TV screens.
But parents being parents, always try to limit their screen time thinking it will protect their little one’s eyes. Is it a legit solution to reduce blue light exposure? Certainly not. What we need is a filter between our kids’ pretty little eyes and the blue light-emitting screens because no matter how much we try, just like us, our kids are digitally dependent.
If you resonate with the thought that precaution is any day better than cure, then it is time to introduce blue-light blocking computer glasses in the lives of our little munchkins.
But Do You Know How Blue Light Damages Your Kids’ Eyes?
The blue light covers a short-wavelength and scatters more easily than other visible light that is why it is not as easily focused. So when your kid stares at his or her digital screen that emits significant amounts of blue light, there is a visual noise which reduces contrast and puts a strain on the eyes when they try to focus. In the long run, the constant eye muscles-straining results in blurry vision and short-sightedness. As we age, our cloudier eyes do a better job of filtering out the impairing blue light and other rays but in the case of children, the eyes are still young and growing.
Thinking… Do Computer Glasses Really Work?
0 Power (or powered) Computer Glasses for kids specifically targets the harmful blue light and filters it out. The glasses not only block the radiation from computer screens and mobile phones but also other LED light-emitting displays. Owing to the error-free laser-cut built, the blue lenses reduce glare to be virtually nonexistent. This is accomplished without compromising on the contrast, brightness or details on the screen.
