Blue light damages your eyes by fracturing mitochondria in retinal cells, causing oxidative stress that thins the retina over time. Animal research shows this thinning may lead to eye disease. The video offers practical tips to reduce your exposure.
Cover your eyes! No, actually, research in animals has demonstrated that excess exposure to blue lights can literally thin out the retinal layer of the eyeball, potentially contributing to ocular diseases. How it does so is striking. Basically, excess blue light causes mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, to fracture— literally fracture and fragment— contributing to increased oxidative stress, which you can see clearly here in red. Crazy, isn't it? So, mind your light habits, and you can check the video notes for links to some specific tips.
