It’s alarming to note that, since 2007, new smart devices have been equipped with screens that emit, at an average, 5 times more high energy visible blue (LED) light than previous technologies.The American Optometric Association named Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) or Digital Eye Strain, the cluster of eye and vision-related problems, result from prolonged computer, tablet and cell phone use. According to recent studies, up to 80% of screen users report suffering from these symptoms.
Many individuals experience eye discomfort and vision problems when viewing digital screens for extended periods, even after they stop working at a computer. It is important to recognize that if nothing is done to address the cause of the problem, the symptoms will continue to recur and perhaps worsen in the future with the ongoing digital screen use.
Numerous studies, such as the ones led by Harvard Medical School, link the emission of high energy blue (LED) light to decreases in melatonin levels. This hormone regulates the circadian rhythm (our biological clock) and that is why more exposure to high energy light can affect our sleep adversely.
In addition to sleep disorders, studies have linked working with devices late at night and direct over-exposure to high energy blue light can lead to more acute diseases such as breast and prostate cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity.
You may not be aware of it however, your eyes are exposed to permanent damage and other symptoms that can mean serious consequences when you are staring at screens.

Reticare is the only scientifically proven ocular protector, globally designed and patented to absorb the visible high energy blue light emitted from smartphones, tablets, laptops and computer monitors. Its development is based on more than 15 years of investigations by prestigious experts in optics from the University Complutense of Madrid (UCM), in cooperation with specialists from consumer electronics and mobile technology
During the current digital era, the high level of exposure to this type of light increases symptoms of visual fatigue and involves important medium and long-term ocular risks. As a solution to these serious global visual health problems, Reticare was created.
