Nearly every source of light – natural or artificial – emits harmful blue light. Your eyes are exposed to it all the time, both in and outdoors. From sunlight to digital display screen.

Long-term exposure to blue light can cause eye issues and impact our health. How does blue light affect our eyes and what protection can we use?

Our eyes are one of our most important organs but also one of our most fragile. Sight is arguably our most important sensory process, critical to navigating our modern lifestyles. We rely on sight when we walk and drive, when we read and write, and when we work and play.

White light is made up of all visible colours but those at the blue end of the spectrum, what we call blue light, can be harmful. Screens produce blue light at higher levels than emitted by the sun. The increasing number of digital devices in our lives is exposing us to more screen time than ever before. While in many professional settings, employees now spend the vast majority of their working day staring at screens.

Our modern world is flooded with artificial light. We over illuminate our homes and workplaces, bright streetlights and signage line our roads, and now the glowing screens of our mobile devices follow us everywhere we go. The development of artificial light allowed us to work longer, sleep later, and facilitates our 24hr entertainment culture.

To protect and care for your glasses, goggles or face shields, Bollé Safety has designed a complete range range of practical and efficient accessories.
