#u.v

From my recent shoot in Sydney.

Blue light and ultraviolet lights are a part of High Energy Visible (HEV) radiations. These radiations are harmful for our eyes and create stress-related issues. Blue light could be radiated from both natural and artificial sources. The blue light which is found in natural sources is necessary for maintaining melatonin levels and thereby ensuring productivity of human body. On the contrary, blue light that is generated from artificial sources such as television screen, and smartphone screen, among others is harmful and creates an imbalance in the melatonin level of the body thereby disturbing the sleep cycle and the circadian rhythm of the body. It also causes digital-eye stress that results in reduced productivity, fatigue, headaches and several other health problems. Over exposure of ultraviolet light is also harmful as it causes cancer and reduces the visibility of the human eye by degrading the cornea. It also possesses the capability of degenerating atomic bonds thus rendering the monetary value of certain artifacts useless. Due to such issues, protection from the ultraviolet light has become essential in today’s world. The research study focuses on putting forward a clear picture of the current consumption and future growth potential of both U.V and blue light blocking coatings.
