Basically, blue light is a kind of light that the many screens in our lives emit. By the way, it's also the same kind of light you would see outside on a sunny day. According to certain studies, exposure to blue light can cause insomnia, headaches. It has also been linked to increased anxiety, depression, ADHD symptoms, and obesity. Yet, the blue light emitted by the sun, which is the most powerful emitter of blue light, seems to help solve a lot of these problems. Weird, isn't it?<\/p>\n
Simply because there's a free, healthier solution: reducing screen time and spending more time outside<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Problems linked to blue light therefore stem primarily from time spent in front of screens. As we know, reducing our screen time is not easy. We work in front of computers, we play on our personal computer, on our mobile phones, our tablets, our video game consoles, etc. Managing all this isn\u2019t easy, for us or our children. We'd like to take a moment to salute all the parents out there for whom managing screen time is tantamount to waging war.<\/p>\n But setting reasonable limits can only do some good. Sure, systems like Android or IOS offer options to reduce the blue light emitted by the screen. That\u2019s great, if it helps you, but the scientific community has not reached a consensus yet about the effects.<\/a> There is this thing called the placebo effect.<\/p>\n The real solution is super simple, and you\u2019ve heard it before: spent time outside! It\u2019s great for your overall health, but it\u2019s also great for your eyes. It is also a great opportunity to leave your mobile phone in your pocket or, even better, at home.<\/p>\n Once again, the scientific literature is far from unanimous. As far as we're concerned, it's mainly a \"marketing\" solution that increases the average price of glasses without delivering the expected results. And we're not the only ones to see it that way. Le Pharmachien<\/a> looked into this in an episode that aired in December 2021. It is available on Tou.tv<\/a>, but a subscription is needed. It's unfortunate, because it showed how complicated this problem is and that you can't simply solve it with your bank card. Moreover, even le Scientifique en chef du Qu\u00e9bec is not crazy about filtering glasses<\/a>. So why spend more on something that's far from being proven without a shadow of a doubt?<\/p>\n If despite all this you absolutely<\/strong> we certainly won\u2019t prevent you from getting it. The decision is yours. And since we do business with the same lens labs as the big-name stores, we\u2019ll get you similar options at the best price<\/a>. As usual<\/p>\n Our advice, however, is this: save your money for something else and rethink your screen habits!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Quand des clients viennent rencontrer nos opticiens et se renseignent au sujet de nos options pour la lumi\u00e8re bleue, ils sont souvent surpris par notre r\u00e9ponse: vous pourriez garder votre argent.
