Activity Outline
Blue light can be categorized as either "blue-violet" or "blue-turquoise" light, with an umbrella term of high energy visible (HEV) light applying to both. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy and the greater the scatter as well as other dysphotopsia. This scientific article discusses elements of the electromagnetic spectrum and beliefs around "blue light", outlining how spectral filtration of "blue-violet" light in contact lenses improves functional vision and provides wearers with improved visual performance and comfort with reduced symptoms of fatigue.
Please note that Assessment Questions (10 MCQs) are included within this module and have been factored into the overall time estimated for users to complete the e-Learning course.
Learning Objectives
- Develop a better understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum and beliefs around "blue light"
- Develop a better understanding of how the cumulative effect of increased screen time combined with high levels of short wavelength scatter and tear film instability impacts patients’ ocular comfort and visual performance
- Explain the different options available to patients to help alleviate issues and visual symptoms relating to problematic "blue-violet" light
