New Book “How to Save Your Eyes in the Digital Age” Examines the Risks of Excessive Screen Time and Blue Light Exposure

This comprehensive guide addresses the myriad of challenges that result from high-energy blue light and constant exposure to digital screens, often referred to as “screen time.” The book features contributions from prominent optometrists and ophthalmologists, scientists and researchers, technology experts and leading consumer electronics executives. The handbook serves as a compendium of knowledge on this emerging and pervasive topic in healthcare.

“With a sharp increase in screen time since the outbreak of COVID-19 – and one that has not abated significantly since the pandemic was largely brought under control – this book is as timely as ever,” he said Justin Beret, Managing Director, Eyesafe. “We are proud to partner with UnitedHealthcare Vision to bring this book to the general public, and we hope it advances the conversation about the massive healthcare challenge that digitally generated high-energy blue light poses.”

UnitedHealthcare contributed content and sponsored the book, which provides important information on the potential short- and long-term risks resulting from excessive screen time and blue light exposure, including:

• The physiology of how blue light affects human health.
• An overview of the physical effects of blue light on the human eye.
• The latest scientific research and health studies have focused on blue light.

• Guide for manufacturers of consumer electronics and devices.
• An update on the global regulatory environment surrounding screen time and blue light.
