Protect your eyes in this digital world
Constant eye exposure to potentially damaging blue light from digital devices can cause visual stress and lead to retina damage, accelerate vision deterioration and increase the risk of developing age-related eye diseases.
DO you spend hours staring at your smartphone screen every day? Do you know that long exposure to digital screens can harm your vision? Blue light – the high energy visible light emitted by digital screens – is a contributing factor to deteriorating eye health.
Research by We Are Social shows that 71% of Malaysians own a smartphone and spend an average of 5.1 hours a day on the Internet. Constant eye exposure to potentially damaging blue light from digital devices can cause visual stress and lead to retina damage, accelerate vision deterioration and increase the risk of developing age-related eye diseases.
While limiting the amount of time spent on digital screens is a good precaution, good nutrition is also one of the key factors to promoting healthy eyes and sharper vision.
Six key nutrients for healthier eyes
Marigold – Naturally rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, which are important in promoting healthy vision. Clinical studies published by the AREDS2 Research Group have shown that 10mg of lutein and 2mg of zeaxanthin is beneficial for eye health. Lutein and zeaxanthin in combination can filter harmful blue light, ultraviolet (UV) rays and neutralise free radicals. Haematococcus pluvialis –A type of freshwater green microalgae that is naturally high in astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is an antioxidant that can promote retinal blood flow and alleviate eye fatigue. Wolfberry (Go-Ji) – Naturally high in polysaccharides and carotenoids, they are traditionally used for improving eyesight, especially night vision. Eyebright – Traditionally used for eye strain relief, eye fatigue and irritated eyes. Bilberry – A source of anthocyanosides which provides antioxidant protection and is essential for visual acuity in dim light and improving night vision. Dunaliella Salina – A type of green microalgae that is naturally high in mixed carotenoids, including beta carotene, alpha carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, to support eye health.
