There is a real danger that haunts our bodies and even
our minds whenever we sit in front of computer screens for work or
entertainment. In fact, this danger is not limited to computer screens only but
includes all kinds of display media, whether it is television screens,
computers, or smartphones. Some scientific research has indicated the
continuous increase in the suffering of many groups of people of all ages from
psychological and neurological problems as a result of their exposure to long
working hours every day in front of computer screens. For its part, health
organizations, together with doctors and ophthalmologists, urged the need to
wear medical glasses during working hours to protect the eyes from the dangers
of radiation emitted from optical devices and various display devices.
But this latent danger extends much further than that,
as medical research confirmed that there are many categories of corporate
employees who began to face bad psychological conditions because of their
continuous complaints of interrupted sleep and the severe suffering they are
exposed to as a result of the difficulty of falling asleep during the night
hours, and as a result of this The matter is that this group is exposed to
exhaustion and rapid stress during the day, and their inability to continue and
communicate at work, and it may sometimes lead to them sleeping at their desks.
Studies indicate that this category of employees is under a serious nervous and
psychological influence that may cause them to have a state of a nervous
breakdown or severe psychological depression.
Psychology, brain, and neuroscience studies added that
most of these psychological problems are the result of human exposure to
radiation emitted from the screens of optical devices and modern mechanisms
during night periods, especially computer screens and smartphones, as this is
the period of time in which the human mind tries to prepare for the process of
self-preparation in order to Stillness and falling asleep.
Ophthalmologists have stressed that blue light, in
particular, is one of the most harmful lights to the human retina, along with
its ability to threaten the stillness of the mind due to the strength of its
chemical compounds and their ability to inhibit melatonin, the hormone that
causes and stimulates sleep in the brain. Frequent exposure to it leads to a
contradiction. And disturbed sleep state within the mind. The problem has
turned into a purely medical and health problem to the extent that some
countries, led by Germany, have taken some precautionary measures and imposed
laws on major business companies to require their employees to wear medical
glasses during their working hours and to sit in front of computer screens.
When you hear about these dangers inherent in blue
light, you may feel upset and sad, especially since it is one of the most
beloved colors for humans and has a magical character and a special aesthetic
luster that makes it at the top of the pyramid of all colors. In the context of
this matter, countries began to take some preventive measures against the dangers
of blue light and worked to remove it from lighting poles and car lamps, and to
avoid using it in traffic lights...etc.
But the big problem will remain, as no one on this
planet can prevent you from enjoying the sparkle and brilliance of blue light,
and this has added a huge burden to the manufacturers of television and
computer screens and various display means. How can they produce the means of
display necessary for business and entertainment purposes and at the same time
their products are very popular and gain the satisfaction of users and health
organizations?
Therefore, all manufacturers of optical devices and
smartphones have created the Low Blue Light Filter technology, which works to
increase the levels of heat and warmth of other colors such as yellow, green,
and red at the expense of blue light. Thus, the user can enjoy a more peaceful
and calm life and enjoy sitting in front of his screen for a longer period of
time without being subject to fatigue and risks resulting from harmful lighting.
Never underestimate the dangers of blue light and what
it may cause, as many medical researchers have confirmed that the chemical
elements of the blue light emitted from display screens cause fatigue and
stress to the human eye and may lead to severe dryness, itching, and burning of
the eyes, not to mention its ability to increase Sleep disturbances and anxiety
during the night periods. Therefore, you should never hesitate to activate Low
Blue Light filter technology on your screen or make sure that it is necessary
for your next screens, whatever the cost. But if your screen does not have this
technology, there is no problem, as Windows 11 is interested in providing Night
Light blue light filter technology, and we will explain below how to activate it
simply.
First Step: Type "Settings" in the search
bar.
Step two: Select the System settings tab, then select
Display settings.
Step three: Turn on Night Light On, then tap Night
Light Settings.
Step 4: Adjust the strength level of the blue light
filter to your liking.
It should also be noted that there are some
third-party tools that provide advanced screen brightness adjustments better
than adjusting the brightness through Windows, and an example of these tools is
CareUEyes. Remember that this process will protect your eyes from many dangers
and will help you to sit for long periods of time in front of your screen
without facing any problems. In the end, we have a set of medical advice of
great benefit and importance that will certainly help you avoid the dangers of
display screens and protect your eyes from stress and fatigue, and we will
leave them to you in the following lines:
● Ensure that the computer screen is placed at a level
lower than eye level.
● Make sure that night mode is on and the blue light filter
is set.
● Make sure to lower the brightness at night.
● Do not spend long periods of time in front of the
screen in dark rooms.
● Wear eyeglasses while sitting in front of a computer
screen.
● Keep at least an arm's length away from the screen (20
to 30 cm).
● Adopt the principle of 20 20 20 so that every 20
seconds approximately close your eyelids once, and every 20 minutes turn to
look at the farthest thing from you for 20 seconds and then close your eyes
completely for 20 seconds. This process is able to stimulate the tear glands
inside the eye and treat dryness.
● Use artificial tear drops three to four times a day if
you sit for long periods and suffer from continuous itching and burning in the
eyes.
● Keep away from wind and dry air while traveling or
while home fans are on.
