Eye protection in this digital world
DO you spend hours staring and glaring at your smartphone screen every day? Do you know that eyeballing the digital screen for long hours can be harmful to your vision?
Blue light – the high energy visible light emitted by the digital screen is one of the damaging contributing factors that can cause adverse effects to our eyes and vision.
Seventy one per cent of Malaysians own a smartphone and spend an average of 5.1 hours a day on the Internet.(1)
Constant eye exposure to potential damaging blue light from smartphones and other digital devices cause visual stress that will damage the retina, accelerate vision deterioration and increase the risk of developing age-related eye diseases at a much earlier age.
While limiting the amount of time on the digital screen is one of the precautions to protect your eyes in this digital world, good nutrition is also one of the key factors that can promote 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 have shown that 10mg lutein and 2mg zeaxanthin are beneficial for eye health.(2)(3)(4) 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, an antioxidant that can promote retinal blood flow and alleviate eye fatigue.
– Wolfberry (Go-Ji): Naturally high in polysaccharides and carotenoids. Traditionally used for improving eyesight, especially night vision.
– Eyebright: Traditionally used for relief of eye strain / eye fatigue and irritated eye.
– Bilberry: Source of anthocyanosides, which provides antioxidant protection and is essential for visual acuity in dim light and night vision.
– Dunaliella Salina: A type of green microalgae that is naturally high in mixed carotenoids including beta carotene, alpha carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin and more to support eye health.
