With the increased presence of digital devices throughout our world, and the advancement of brighter and stronger LED headlights and streetlights, come many side effects which oftentimes impair vision and create even bigger health problems. Researchers have found that harmful Blue Light emission from smartphones, tablets, computers, and most light sources on the road at night, can cause serious eye damage and even life threatening diseases. What's more, in low light conditions, such as at night or during storms, the eye is more sensitive and more susceptible to such visual impairments due to higher contrasts of bright and blue lights. Many experience Digital Eye Strain, what is also known as Glare Discomfort or Photophobia. Symptoms of this may include headaches, blurred vision, fatigue, irritated eyes, vertigo or dizziness, sleep disorders, macular degeneration, and even an increased risk of heart diseases, diabetes, depression, and certain types of cancer. While the human eye naturally works to keep out most harmful light, Blue Light within the 460 nm to 1400 nm range bypass the lens and cornea, and are absorbed by the macula, thereby damaging it. Within this hazardous range are light from nearly all digital electronics and most modern headlights and streetlights. For years, field researchers have worked to find a solution to this problem, yet their answers have time and again been either too expensive or too dangerous with their unintended side effects. Night vision goggles cost a fortune, and glasses with strong blue light filters can over-distort vision, making them unsafe for night driving.
