This can ultimately result in them using their digital devices more than ever to help with schoolwork, stay in contact with friends and to entertain themselves. During such a strange time, these digital devices are their contact with the outside world and their way of keeping up with their education with the teachers.

Without getting into the complicated science, blue light is part of the light spectrum, it’s a high energy short wave meaning it produces a higher amount of energy that we’re quite susceptible to it. And in many ways, that’s great; blue light has been shown to have lots of benefits, keeping us alert and focused during the day, even improving our mood. So what’s the issue?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst blue light is a natural part of the light spectrum and is essentials for regulating our sleep-wake cycle.The problem with today’s digital world is when we are using electrical devices, our eyes are constantly being exposed to an artificial high-energy version of blue light. This unnatural level of exposure is having consequences to our health, studies show that exposure to this blue light can cause eyestrain, fatigue, headaches, and sleeplessness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe harmful effects can be more evident in children as their eyes are much more sensitive to blue light because, until the age of 14-15, their eyes are not yet fully developed so their eyes are completely unprotected and taking in higher levels of blue light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/babiators-uk.com\/collections\/babiators-screen-saver-glasses\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Why Your Kids Should Be Wearing Blue Light Blocking Glasses\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"image-link\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1804\/5967\/files\/0033CEP2020-03-27Babiators-7473_large.jpg?v=1589284320\" alt=\"Why Your Kids Should Be Wearing Blue Light Blocking Glasses\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow is blue light harmful?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue light isn't all bad. It's important that your kids are exposed to natural blue light from the sun each day to help sync their body clock and improve mental focus and mood. However, they need to be protected from artificial blue light exposure as much as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne problem is that our eyes aren’t really designed to be good at blocking blue light, add into the mix the unprecedented amount of artificial sources of blue light we interact with every single day, we've got a recipe for some potential harmful effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e               \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePoor sleep\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverexposure to blue light, especially at night, confuses the brain and disrupts our natural body clock. As natural light fades our brain releases hormones to help relax us and prepare us to fall asleep. However, the exposure to artificial blue light can confuse the brain and stop this hormone from being released, therefore encouraging you to stay awake. Your brain simply doesn’t know what time of the day it is anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst we all love sleep, it is particularly important during childhood and adolescence due to the rapid growth and development that occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/babiators-uk.com\/collections\/babiators-screen-saver-glasses\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Why Your Kids Should Be Wearing Blue Light Blocking Glasses\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"image-link\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1804\/5967\/files\/0002CEP2020-03-27Babiators-7350_large.jpg?v=1589284353\" alt=\"Why Your Kids Should Be Wearing Blue Light Blocking Glasses\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e               \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEye health\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue light from screens can penetrate deep into the eye, reaching the retina which makes high level of blue light exposure a possible risk to eye health.

Without getting into the complicated science, blue light is part of the light spectrum, it’s a high energy short wave meaning it produces a higher amount of energy that we’re quite susceptible to it. And in many ways, that’s great; blue light has been shown to have lots of benefits, keeping us alert and focused during the day, even improving our mood. So what’s the issue?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst blue light is a natural part of the light spectrum and is essentials for regulating our sleep-wake cycle.The problem with today’s digital world is when we are using electrical devices, our eyes are constantly being exposed to an artificial high-energy version of blue light. This unnatural level of exposure is having consequences to our health, studies show that exposure to this blue light can cause eyestrain, fatigue, headaches, and sleeplessness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe harmful effects can be more evident in children as their eyes are much more sensitive to blue light because, until the age of 14-15, their eyes are not yet fully developed so their eyes are completely unprotected and taking in higher levels of blue light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/babiators-uk.com\/collections\/babiators-screen-saver-glasses\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Why Your Kids Should Be Wearing Blue Light Blocking Glasses\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"image-link\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1804\/5967\/files\/0033CEP2020-03-27Babiators-7473_large.jpg?v=1589284320\" alt=\"Why Your Kids Should Be Wearing Blue Light Blocking Glasses\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow is blue light harmful?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue light isn't all bad. It's important that your kids are exposed to natural blue light from the sun each day to help sync their body clock and improve mental focus and mood. However, they need to be protected from artificial blue light exposure as much as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne problem is that our eyes aren’t really designed to be good at blocking blue light, add into the mix the unprecedented amount of artificial sources of blue light we interact with every single day, we've got a recipe for some potential harmful effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e               \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePoor sleep\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverexposure to blue light, especially at night, confuses the brain and disrupts our natural body clock. As natural light fades our brain releases hormones to help relax us and prepare us to fall asleep. However, the exposure to artificial blue light can confuse the brain and stop this hormone from being released, therefore encouraging you to stay awake. Your brain simply doesn’t know what time of the day it is anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst we all love sleep, it is particularly important during childhood and adolescence due to the rapid growth and development that occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/babiators-uk.com\/collections\/babiators-screen-saver-glasses\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Why Your Kids Should Be Wearing Blue Light Blocking Glasses\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"image-link\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1804\/5967\/files\/0002CEP2020-03-27Babiators-7350_large.jpg?v=1589284353\" alt=\"Why Your Kids Should Be Wearing Blue Light Blocking Glasses\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e               \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEye health\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue light from screens can penetrate deep into the eye, reaching the retina which makes high level of blue light exposure a possible risk to eye health.
