In today’s digital age, our eyes are constantly exposed to blue light emitted by screens, which can lead to various eye issues if not managed properly. While blue light boosts alertness and mood and supports cognitive function, overexposure can lead to issues like digital eyestrain and retinal cell damage. The right precautions can safeguard your eye health and minimize the negative effects of blue light. Here are several essential tips to help you protect your eyes, as suggested by Dr Mandeep Singh Basu, Director Dr Basu hospital and Jagat Pharma:
- Consider IOLs (Intraocular Lenses): In some cases, intraocular lenses may be recommended to reduce blue light exposure and protect the eyes especially for individuals at higher risk of retinal damage.
- Wear Sunglasses with UV Protection: You should wear sunglasses with UV protection, especially when spending long hours outside. UV protection not only shields the eyes from harmful UV rays but also helps reduce exposure to blue light from natural sources.
- Consider Ayurvedic Eye Care: Incorporate Ayurvedic practices such as eye exercises, netra tarpana (ghee eye bath), and triphala eye wash to nourish and strengthen the eyes. Ayurvedic herbs like triphala and ghee are known for their rejuvenating effects on eye health.
- Prioritize Eye Health: Make eye care a priority by scheduling regular check-ups and seeking professional advice if experiencing any discomfort or vision changes.
