So many of us prioritise our health in general, but we often ignore it when it comes to the effects blue light can have on our eyes. This is a crucial oversight, as keeping our eyes healthy can help us to sleep better, be more productive and feel better overall!

As the dangers and risks associated with overexposure to blue light are becoming more commonly known, many of us are becoming increasingly concerned with how we can reduce our exposure to blue light.

This blog will highlight some of the risks associated with high concentrations of blue light, as well as why Ocushield's Blue light blocking glasses are one of our favourite products out there to keep you safe. 

What is Blue Light and how can it be harmful? 

Blue light is naturally found in the sun, and it's a segment of the visible light spectrum that helps to tell your brain to wake up and seize the day. However, it is also present in extremely high concentrations through the screens of many of our loved devices such as phones, monitors and TV's.

As we use most of these devices daily, from waking up and scrolling through our phones, to using our computers at work and then unwinding in front of the TV at night, risks of overexposure to Blue light are everywhere!

The high concentrations in our regularly used devices have an array of negative effects. On the generally uncomfortable end, overexposure to blue light can cause headaches, dry and itchy eyes, blurry vision and fatigue. This can have a significant impact on your daily wellbeing, potentially hindering your productivity and leaving you feeling not 100% yourself. Furthermore, worrying long term effects of Blue light can include damage to your retinas as well as cause permanent vision changes...no thank you! 

Blue light can also be responsible for disrupting your natural sleep cycle. This is because it inhibits the production of Melatonin, which is the hormone that tells you that it's time to sleep. This means that exposure to high concentrations of blue light around bedtime can hinder your body's ability to sleep. Not only can this leave you feeling tired and groggy the next day, it can also lead to an array of problems such as irritability, lack of concentration, a negative impact on memory and so much more!

Why Blue light Glasses?

Looking for the perfect solution can be difficult, because whilst there are a range of solutions out there, many have their drawbacks. For example, some devices may allow you to turn down blue light levels. However, this is a feature that is not often available across all devices. Plus adjusting blue light levels manually on any device you use can be cumbersome. 

Another option is to add Blue Light Screen protectors or Filters, but this can be costly and a lot of hassle, as they would have to be individually added to every device to help protect you from overexposure. For example, you would need one filter on your Phone, another on your Laptop, one on your Tablet, an additional one on your work PC and even one on your TV! 

This is where the brilliance of Blue Light Blocking Glasses comes in as they allow you to simply pop them on to be protected from blue light on any device. So you can go from watching TV to checking your phone, and even catching up on e-mails on the tablet with ease and peace of mind that you are protected from blue light. 

Plus, Ocushield's blue light glasses come in a range of styles to suit any face. So whether you're after clear glasses to blend in, black glasses to keep it minimalistic or tortoise glasses to make a stylish statement, there will be something for you. 

They also have a range of features to increase comfort, from 95% picture clarity to anti-fog and smudge filters.

Encrypted Data Storage vs Traditional Data Storage

If you run a business, you may have large amounts of important data and files that need to be kept secure and confidential. So what’s the best way to keep this data safe? You need secure storage devices! A recent survey conducted by iStorage Ltd, found that some businesses may be at risk, with two thirds of data being stored on unencrypted storage devices. iStorage Ltd is an award-winning company and trusted global leader in PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted data storage and cloud encryption devices. Their research into data security found that 99% of people consider data security to be a necessary practice, but only 5% are following advice from the National Cyber Security Centre on data storage and backup. Not storing and backing up data with secure methods is causing a vast majority of data, and the businesses storing this data, to become vulnerable. Because of this, it's important to let businesses know about the importance of using encrypted storage methods, over tradit...
