So what is Blue Light? 

Essilor Crizal Prevencia

The Visible Light Spectrum is an electromagnetic radiation spectrum visible to the human eye and blue light is the part of the visible light spectrum that contains the highest energy. Because of its high energy, blue light has more potential to cause harm to the eye than other visible light. Within the entire visible light spectrum, blue light has the shortest wavelength which is from 380nm to 500. 

Blue Light is categorized into subgroups 

  • Violet Light ( 380nm – 410nm )
  • Blue-Violet Light (410nm – 455nm ) 
  • Blue-Turquoise Light ( 455nm – 500nm ) 

With high energy, Violet and Blue – Violet rays are harmful to the human eyes. Blue –Turquoise light ray, on the other hand, has less energy and helps in maintaining a healthy sleep cycle which is also known as beneficial Blue Light.
