Blue light filter
Conferences and meetings are increasingly being held digitally these days. The blue light emitted by screens can contribute to eye fatigue and therefore reduce concentration and productivity of employees. We reveal how you can use a blue light filter to improve working conditions in your company.
Definition of blue light
Blue light is a part of the visible light spectrum that is emitted by both digital screens and LEDs. Digital screens include, for example, computer monitors, laptops, tablets and smartphones. Artificial blue light has a particularly short wavelength and high energy. Blue light therefore puts a considerable strain on the eyes.
In addition, it has been proven that blue light can also damage the skin, whereby the wavelength is decisive here. Blue light generally has a wavelength between 380 nm and 500 nm. Between 380 nm and 400 nm, blue light is harmful to the skin; as the measured value increases, the risk of blue light decreases.
Consequences of blue light
Regular work at a screen can have a number of negative effects on the human eye. In addition to exhaustion, blurred vision and sleep disturbances can often occur. In combination, these consequences usually lead to a general feeling of overexertion. Long-term eye diseases are also possible.
What are blue light filters?
Special settings or coatings are available for screens to minimize the amount of blue light. These are also known as blue light filters. The latter reduce eye fatigue and contribute to increased concentration. There are a number of different forms of blue light filters:
Screen blue light filters
Many devices are already equipped with blue light filters. These fall under the group of hardware solutions. The filter can usually be activated in the settings. A warmer color tone is generated
.Blue light filter glasses
Special blue light filter glasses provide additional protection against blue light exposure to the eyes. Depending on the model, they block or absorb a large proportion of harmful blue light. Blue light filter glasses are available both with and without prescription.
Screen protectors
Screen protectors are, as the name suggests, films that can be applied to the surface of the screen. Before purchasing, make sure you have the correct dimensions for your screen.
Reducing exposure to the screen
In addition, reducing screen time and taking regular breaks can relieve eye strain. Appropriate lighting at the workplace also makes a positive contribution to the well-being of your employees and should therefore definitely be taken into account when planning office space.
Blue light filters in conference rooms
The use of blue light filters also plays a key role in conference rooms. Long meetings with extended screen presentations are particularly tiring and put a strain on the participants. This makes it all the more important to ensure maximum well-being here. Blue light filters, which prevent early eye fatigue and thus contribute to an increase in concentration and efficiency, play a key role in this.
