The Benefits of Cataract Surgery Have Now
Been Enhanced to Also Provide a
Natural Filter Against Blue Light
|
Blue light begins the visible range of the light spectrum. While
some blue light waves contribute to color perception, other
wavelengths of blue light may actually be harmful to your eye.²
There are many sources of blue light in your everyday
environment including sunlight and artificial lighting.
Researchers believe that blue light may cause damage to the
retina which could potentially contribute to macular
degeneration or loss of vision.² The long-term effects of
filtering blue light and the clinical efficacy of that filtering
on the retina have not been conclusively established.
The reason you may not have heard about blue light until now is
because it has not been well publicized. Recent advances in
artificial lens material have just now enabled this concern to
be addressed for cataract patients.
