The Impact of LCD Screens on Eye Health and Practical Protection Tips

The Impact of LCD Screens on Eye Health and Practical Protection Tips

LCD screens are relatively less harmful to the eyes, but there are still some effects, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Blue light radiation

The backlight layer of the LCD screen contains short-wavelength blue light (415~455 nanometers). This blue light has high energy and can penetrate the lens directly to the retina, which may cause atrophy and death of retinal pigment epithelial cells, leading to decreased vision. Long-term exposure to blue light may also increase the risk of macular degeneration.

2. Visual fatigue

Although LCD screens usually use DC dimming and will not flicker, long-term use may still cause visual fatigue. This is because when the eyes stare at the screen for a long time, the number of blinks decreases, and the tear secretion is insufficient, which can easily lead to dry eyes and fatigue.


3. Eye protection function

In order to reduce the damage of blue light to the eyes, many LCD screens use special blue light filtering technology, which can reduce the blue light radiation of a specific band emitted by the screen. In addition, adjusting the screen brightness and contrast to match the surrounding environment can also reduce the burden on the eyes.

4. Usage suggestions

Take regular breaks: follow the "20-20-20 eye protection rule", that is, look at the scenery 20 feet (about 6 meters) away for 20 seconds for every 20 minutes of eye use to relax your eyes.

Adjust screen brightness: adjust the screen brightness according to the ambient light to avoid irritation to the eyes caused by too bright or too dark screens.

Keep a proper distance: When using electronic devices, keep a proper distance between the screen and the eyes, generally at least 50 cm is recommended.

Increase indoor humidity: Use a humidifier to increase indoor humidity to help relieve dry eyes.

In general, LCD screens have certain advantages over OLED screens in terms of eye protection, but you still need to pay attention to reasonable use to reduce potential damage to the eyes.
