Constant exposure to blue light is known to cause eye strain and also keeps people awake which disturbs the sleep cycle.
How does blue light affect the eyes?
Research1 shows that spending a lot of time staring at a computer screen can lead to too much exposure to blue light, resulting in symptoms such as :
- Digital Eye Strain: Blurry vision, dry eyes, discomfort or pain
- Retinal Damage: Studies have suggested that exposure to too much blue light can damage your retina, which leads to poor central vision and low vision
- Age-related Macular Edema: Exposure to blue light could damage photoreceptor cells on the retina. Over time, compounded retinal damage leads to central vision loss. It can sometimes lead to retinal detachment
Total comfort begins with HP Eye Ease
Ensure your customers keep their eyes comfortable through the work day with HP Eye Ease, HP’s first built-in, always-on blue light filter that presents your vivid content with zero impact on your colour accuracy, no OSD required.
Last year, HP unveiled a set of E-Series monitors that are billed as the first ergonomic display with an always-on low blue light function, Eye Ease, that potentially helps you sleep. These HP Eye Ease monitors feature an always-on, low-blue-light filter that protects you from potentially harmful blue light.
This feature may be crucial as we move into an era where working from home is becoming much more the norm and potentially spending more time looking at screens.
The monitors themselves range from the 21.5-inch E22 G4 through to the 27-inch E27q G4.
