We are constantly exposed to digital devices and artificial lighting, and light sensitivity has become a common issue, affecting many individuals’ quality of life. At the NeuroVisual Specialists of Florida and iSee VisionCare, we understand the challenges faced by those with light sensitivity, especially for patients with Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD) who experience discomfort under overhead fluorescent lighting, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, disorientation, and a lack of focus. The solution to this growing problem? BluTech lenses.
The Dangers of Blue Light
Blue light, part of the visible light spectrum ranging between 400 nm and 500 nm, is known for its role in various eye and health-related issues. While the sun is the primary source of intense blue light, reducing visual clarity and potentially damaging the retina, digital devices and artificial lighting expose us to significant amounts of blue light, causing symptoms like visual blur, eyestrain, sleep disruption, and headaches.
Research has shown that exposure to potentially harmful blue light (400 nm to 460 nm) can lead to irreversible damage to the retina and is linked to the onset of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). BluTech lenses are designed to offer “BEST” protection from these dangers, filtering up to 76% of harmful blue light.
The Importance of Melatonin Regulation
The production of the body’s natural sleep hormone, melatonin, begins after sunset, in the absence of intense blue light. Unlike other “clear blue light blocking” lenses that offer minimal protection, BluTech lenses are clinically proven to regulate melatonin production by 96% when worn at least three hours before bedtime. This regulation helps users achieve better sleep quality, improved mood the following day, and a 47% increase in productivity, providing significant protection against digital blue light.
Relief for Migraine Sufferers
For individuals prone to migraines and headaches, peak blue light transmittance from fluorescents, LEDs, and digital devices can be a trigger. BluTech lenses are designed to block the specific spectrum of blue light that triggers these conditions, offering relief to sufferers without the need for dark-tinted lenses. This proactive approach allows individuals to go about their daily activities without the fear of triggering a migraine or experiencing significant eyestrain.
Why Choose BluTech Lenses?
BluTech lenses are not merely a product; they represent a lifestyle choice for those seeking relief from light sensitivity, eyestrain, and the potential long-term effects of blue light exposure. With up to 17 times more protection against digital blue light compared to clear blue light blocking lenses and up to five times more protection than blue light coatings, BluTech lenses are a critical tool in maintaining eye health and overall well-being.
For patients with BVD or anyone who experiences discomfort under artificial lighting, BluTech lenses offer a proven solution. By filtering harmful blue light and regulating melatonin production, these lenses not only improve visual clarity and focus but also enhance sleep quality and reduce the risk of long-term eye damage.
At the NeuroVisual Specialists of Florida and iSee VisionCare, we are committed to providing our patients with the best eye care solutions. If you’re struggling with light sensitivity, eyestrain, or simply want to protect your eyes in our digital world, inquire about BluTech lenses today. Experience the difference and take the first step towards a brighter, healthier visual future.
