Blue Light Glasses Market: Introduction
- Blue light is emitted by digital products as TVs, smartphones, computers, and laptops (screens). High-energy short wavelength blue light emerges continuously, like a sharp blade penetrating the eyes and going right into the macula area, causing difficulty in opening the eyes, leading to great discomfort and pain. Long exposure to screens can lead to eye problems. Blue light glasses contain a special lens that filters out or eliminates the blue light emitted by digital screens. These glasses protect the eyes from strain and help to reduce the risk of retinal damage from extended blue light exposure. The blue light glasses market is expected to witness growth during the forecast period.
