What is a screen light?

Some of the sun's light rays are dangerous to our eyes like ultraviolet, even though the screen light does not have such light rays, it has noticeable dangerous effects on the eyes when there is a long exposure on the screen. the screen's light is blue and it is among the several colors in the visible light spectrum (ROYGBIV: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet)

Each of these lights has its wavelength and energy level. In this way, blue light has a shorter wavelength between 400-490 nanometers and a higher energy level than other colors, which makes it dangerous to the health of our eyes.

It not only cause dry eyes but also headache, neck and shoulder pain may result due to many hours spent on the screen

Since many people have to do the jobs that require them to sit and deal with their work on the computer and they have to sit staring at their screen for a long time, they might consider it taking a nap and relax from their screen and they would be back after some period of time when their eyes are refreshed.

2. Prepare the meal rich in vitamin A

Vitamin A improves the vision of the eyes, so, it's worth preparing a meal rich in vitamin A to help prevent eye defects due to prolonged screen time.
