The Effects Of Blue Screens On Our Health

Headaches

The eyestrain from too much time in front of screens can lead to some major headaches. Blue light, in particular, can also trigger migraines. Blue light can cause oxidative stress, a condition in which there is an imbalance between environmental pressures and the body’s ability to respond to those pressures. When the eyes experience oxidative stress, a migraine is triggered. Researchers believe migraines are actually a protective mechanism to prevent blindness, and when we have migraines, we usually avoid screens and seek out low-light spaces, reducing the oxidative stress and avoiding further damage.
