Before the days of these devices we rarely notice cases of eye sight problems it was only noticeable on our aged parents not even like their lens were damaged but old age has weaken their lens that they now need another supportive lens to be able to read but nowadays the revise is the case young children at the age of 10 15 20 and above now make use of these supportive lens because their eyes lens have already been weaken but have we ever wonder the cause of the new arising challenges funny enough most of these children were born with a very normal correct eyes lens but then something have interfered with the normal function of the eyes which is very abnormal these was the very reason I decided to look into the cause of these defect and I realised that BLUE LIGHTS from our phone and laptop screen were part of the cause of the challenges

HOW THE BLUE LIGHTS AFFECT OUR EYES

√ Constantly expositing of our eyes to these blue light can cause a damage to the retinal cell and also cause a problem to our vision like age related macular degeneration defect

√Also this blue light can contribute to the cause of cataracts this can result when the Len absorbs much blue light it exert a protective effect on the retainer causing the lens to undergo decrease in colour change which then leads to the formation of cataracts

√ Because of the way we have become too attached to our cell phones some persons cannot do anything without their cell phone first thing in the morning they're already grabbing it and the last thing they do before the sleep is their phone and this can cause weakness of the eyes, eyes dryness headache blurry vision watery eyes and strain of the eyes

√ One time my sister complain to me that she can hardly sleep in the night I noticed one thing about her you hardly see her without her eyes on her phone screen the blue light have made the body to stop releasing melatonin which is a natural sleeping hormones because the blue light is deceiving the body to always think that it is day and you know what will happen to our body when we don't sleep
