“Today is the 21st Century” Episode 1535!

In this episode of the El Siglo 21 es Hoy podcast, we explore the world of blue light filtering glasses and the business behind them.

We find out that while these glasses have been touted as the solution to protecting our eyes from the harmful effects of screens, a recent study suggests they may not be as effective as we thought.

We also investigated the phenomenon of people wearing blue filter glasses for more than just aesthetics, and reflected on the importance of looking at less screens and enjoying the real world.

We also discuss the impact of screens on children and expert advice on their appropriate use.

For those concerned about protecting their eyes from excessive screen use, we have a fun and helpful guide to protecting your eyes in the digital age. Don’t miss this episode, filled with interesting information, reflections, and humor. Take care of your eyes and enjoy the podcast!

How can I protect my eyes from screen damage?
A Guide to Saving Your Eyes from Digital Disasters

In this era, “I have eagle eyes” has been replaced by “My eyes are red from staring at the screen.”

Remember, eye health is vital. But a little humor never hurts, watch those eyes! 😉

Distance and posture: Let’s not make a mistake. “Proper posture” doesn’t mean lying on the couch like a melting jellyfish with your phone in one hand and a bag of chips in the other. And by distance we don’t mean holding your phone across the room and zooming in with your eyes.
working environment: Good light, humidity, and ventilation, of course. Honestly, though, most of us are more likely to end up in a dark cave with a computer, a desk lamp, and a fan that sounds like it’s about to take off.
Break time: Yes, the famous 20/20 rule. But wait! There is another one: 20-6-20. Isn’t this just like remembering all the passwords we have to change every month?
Artificial tears: You may shed real tears as you reminisce about your life in front of a screen, but these faux tears are for when your eyes feel like the Sahara desert.
Consult an ophthalmologist: Not to the neighbor who claims to know it all because “he read it on the internet”. To your eye doctor. Of course, I wouldn’t be surprised if there are “Dr. Google Eye” on street corners soon. No, an ophthalmologist is not the same as an ophthalmologist, they are different, one is a doctor and the other is not.
Extreme measures: If you feel like your eyes are being attacked by tiny irregular pixels, zoom in on everything to 150%! That way it won’t look like you’re reading a newspaper but an ophthalmologist’s handwriting.
Age and screen: Are you between the ages of 40 and 55? Well, dear reader, presbyopia has found you. No, it is not a secret, but a phenomenon visible to the naked eye. Do not despair! Your optometrist is waiting for you with open arms (and probably a bill).
Yoga Eyes: Yes, you read that correctly. No, this is not a joke. Now, trying to put your eyes in the lotus position can be… problematic.
Computer Configuration: If you end up using granny glasses to read text, it might be time to adjust the brightness and contrast. No, sticking a flashlight on the monitor does not count as a brightness adjustment.
Conclusion: If after listening to these tips you still feel like your eyes are begging for mercy, maybe it’s time to remember what life is like off-screen. Or at least try.
