did you realize that your computer could

be destroying your vision an average

person will spend over seven hours in

front of their computer and digital

devices and I’m totally guilty I

probably spend maybe 12 hours a day in

front of my computer so this can really

affect your vision and it could affect

your vision from several mechanisms okay

one is the LED light this artificial

light is not full-spectrum it is very

specific to a blue light which is a

short high-energy wave which is very

irritating to the eyes and LED lights

can actually raise cortisol they add

stress to the body just like the other

lights that you have in your house that

are florescent that can increase

cortisol I would highly recommend that

you replace some of your lighting system

around your office with a full-spectrum

bulb that can actually decrease some of

the effects from the blue light also I

would recommend getting some eyewear

that can filter out the blue light at

least 50% of it and you’ll find there’s

just a lot less strain when you actually

on your computer I would just get the

one that’s none magnified the one that

is just a filter for blue light all

right the next point is the ciliary

muscle of the eye so here’s the front of

the eye right here and here’s the lens

there’s a little muscle called the

ciliary muscle there on both sides that

help to shape the lens to help you focus

so you can focus in near or far now when

you’re sitting in front of your computer

close up

the ciliary muscles are in a state of

contraction

can you imagine contracting your muscle

for seven hours that would create a lot

of fatigue wouldn’t it well just think

what’s happening in the eye your lens is

being abnormally shaped because of the

imbalance in the contraction and

relaxation so here’s what you need to do

go outside at least a half hour a day

and start looking at objects in the

distance okay I do this all the time I

go for a long walk but when you walk

sometimes I’ll see people there actually

have earphones you’re looking at their

cell phone they’re listening the music

they’re in their head but what you want

to do is you want to just look at

objects in the distance okay

for at least a half hour or a more

that’s going to provide relaxation very

simple it’ll help take the strain out of

the eye the last point I want to bring

up is carotenoids okay

carotenoids are phytonutrients there’s

certain pigments in certain colored

vegetables cruciferous it’s in squash

it’s also in egg yolks now the plants

use the carotenoids to protect against

certain light sources like the Sun well

when you have enough carotenoids in your

body it can also help protect the eye

against the UV radiation from the Sun as

well one thing I noticed is a lot of

people wear sunglasses when it’s sunny

all the time and that’s fine but just

realize that you need some Sun that goes

into the I not like staring at the Sun

but enough Sun to help recharge the

pineal gland you’ll find that you’ll

sleep better you might want to try that

if you have a habit of wearing

sunglasses all the time alright guys
