Health concerns related to blue light exposure are increasing within the eye care community among consumers but with 4 out of 5 lenses not providing sunglass level UV protection, should we be focusing on giving everyone proper UV protection since there is no debate about the issues associated with UV?
Learning Objectives:
Upon conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:
Learn about scientific evidence of the UV radiation threat
Understand why most lenses do not protect against the total UV spectrum
Identify the current threat of blue light in everyday life
Decipher the blue light hype and why UV protection is more important
