What Is Blue Light?

Blue light is an important component of the visible spectrum. In other words, it is a component of the light that surrounds us. It may be found in both natural sunshine and light output by electronic gadgets such as computer displays, mobile phones, smartwatches, and everything in between.

How Does it Affect Us?

Blue light, like each other component of the light spectrum, has a specific purpose. Blue light rays can range from extremely hazardous to relatively beneficial (during the day), depending on their wavelength.

Blue light rays with the shortest wavelengths have the most energy and are the most dangerous. Blue light is less hazardous as the wavelength increases.

In particular, blue light rays with wavelengths of 450 nm or less are thought to be extremely dangerous, but those with wavelengths of 470 nm to 500 nm are thought to be beneficial throughout the day.

Melatonin, a hormone that controls the body’s sleep-wake cycle, is produced with the aid of the range of blue light that is beneficial for our brain chemistry during the day. Our eyes and skin become damaged when we consume too much blue light, even during the daylight, frequently due to excessive usage of computer or smartphone screens. However, these negative effects increase at night, disrupting the sleep-wake cycle and causing further eye damage.

FDA Approved

Our line is also registered with the US Food and Drug Administration, often known as the FDA, as proof of its effectiveness in reducing eye strain, promoting restful sleep, and enhancing the appearance of the skin.

The FDA also registers medical devices like Ocushield so that our US customers can use them, knowing they are safe, dependable, and effective in preventing the negative effects of blue light exposure. The FDA regulates medicines and foods for the US market to be consumed safely.

MHRA Medically Rated

Our line is also registered with the UK MHRA, commonly known as the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, as evidence of how well it works to reduce eye strain, promote restful sleep, and improve the condition of the skin by filtering out dangerous blue light.

Our Tech and Research

Blue-light-reducing products are not all made equal

There is a lot of hype about screen protectors and glasses that are being produced by well-known companies and new companies to combat the rise in screen usage. The majority of goods only filter 10% or less of high-intensity blue light. With Ocushield technology, damaging blue light between 400 and 470 nm and up to 99% of UV/blue light between 300 and 400 nm are both effectively suppressed. When it comes to your eye health, you deserve nothing but the finest.

We are constantly exposed to blue light, especially while engaging in our favourite activities like watching TV or using our phones. Blue light has received greater media attention during the last few years. We’ve all heard the term “text neck,” but with displays, more harm is being done invisibly.
