“…T oday, there is a growing concern regarding the potential negative health impacts of excessive exposure to short-wavelength visible light. Our laboratories have focused on the adverse health effects of blue light over the past years, especially on the association between screen time and adverse health effects such as breast cancer [1][2][3]. While standard spectacle lenses only offer varying degrees of protection against UV, blue-blocking lenses, including spectacles and intraocular lenses, are designed to selectively reduce the intensity of short-wavelength visible light and UV radiation by using a chromophore.…”

Blue-blocking lenses, including both spectacles and intraocular lenses, are designed to selectively reduce the intensity of short-wavelength visible light and UV radiation using a chromophore. Unlike standard spectacle lenses, which only offer varying degrees of UV protection, blue-blocking lenses provide additional benefits such as enhancing visual performance, reducing eye fatigue from digital screens, protecting the retina from phototoxicity, and minimizing disruption of the circadian rhythm caused by blue light-emitting devices used in the evening. Research has shown that the length of the eye tends to increase over time, especially during the first 10 months of life, indicating the importance of this period in eye development. The Purkinje shift is a phenomenon where the eye becomes more sensitive to blue light in the dark, and it is a normal physiological process. However, there is concern that prolonged use of blue-cut lenses in children may affect the development of eye length and contribute to an increase in refractive eye disorders.
