Eye Health

Blue-light filtering intraocular lenses are purported to reduce the incidence of potentially damaging UV and blue light on the retina. This article reviews their background, the proposed benefits on long-term eye health and the possible disadvantages on circadian rhythm, scotopic vision and colour vision.

Positive Results

Blue-light therapy is well known for curing patients with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), where the patient experiences depressive factors. In this study I used blue-light therapy in the form of blue-light lightboxes from the comapny Circadian Optics, as seen on shark tank. Instead of using the lightboxes to cure SAD, they were instead used to see if they provoked the participants sleep quality. The participants from Polytechnic highschool were selected from the Badminton Team, where the athletes woke up at five a.m. on school days. This ensured that the crowd was overall tired and fatigued. Over the four week testing course, participants proved positive results.
