\"computer<\/a><\/p>\n

Sitting before the computer for hours together and for days has become more than a fashion and requirements of modern work life, resulting in a high blue light exposure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But a new eye health<\/a> term \u2018computer face\u2019 has emerged to describe premature aging effects caused by sitting at the computer for hours.<\/p>\n

What is the computer face all about?\u00a0<\/i><\/h2>\n

According to medical experts<\/a>, people who are required to sit continuously at the computer for hours are at greater risk of facing premature aging.<\/p>\n

This is because of the UV light emerging from the computer screens.<\/p>\n

It also means accelerated wrinkles, fine lines, turkey neck, frown lines, jowls and deep wrinkles.<\/p>\n

\"blue<\/a><\/p>\n

Some potential problems faced:\u00a0<\/i><\/h2>\n

\u2022 When concentrating if the person squints or frowns, then premature frown lines are likely to develop.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sitting in a single position for a long time also increases jowls risks or make for a sharp pain in the eye<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Looking down a lot may sag and shorten the neck muscles causing turkey neck.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Young women and men are likely to age much more quickly due to heavy usage of IT.<\/p>\n

\"blue<\/a><\/p>\n

Patients suffering from such effects are only found to be increasingly lining up at the leading cosmetic surgical centers.<\/p>\n

These can be considered to be early warnings.<\/p>\n

They should be heeded to as to how badly the body\u2019s muscles (eye muscle pain<\/a> for example) tend to react towards endless sitting.<\/p>\n

How do computers expose to UV radiation?\u00a0<\/i><\/h2>\n

The experts are of the opinion that computers do expose the user to harmful UV light radiation.<\/p>\n

Low UV light levels are emitted by older CRT monitors, which over a period of time, leads to skin damage.<\/p>\n

It can also be problematic for those who are photosensitive like people suffering from severe xeroderma pigmentosum and lupus problems.<\/p>\n

UV screen light<\/a>, however, is not radiated by the new flat paneled LCD screens as opposed to LCD and plasma screens.<\/p>\n

\"blue<\/a><\/p>\n

Aging caused by allergic reactions<\/h2>\n

Researches conducted have stated that exposure to the computer screen for hours can lead to blotches, discoloration, skin allergies and rashes with time.<\/p>\n

Moreover, those facing pre-existing skin issues such as sun sensitivity and rosacea can face more risk and eye strain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some scientists also opine that an electrostatic field is created by monitors to attract floating dust.<\/p>\n

It then settles on the skin, thus causing irritation, dryness and allergic reactions, specifically in the poorly ventilated areas.<\/p>\n

Excessive exposure to the computer screen in a few sensitive individuals may cause screen dermatitis.<\/p>\n

Here, the skin cells tend to suffer due to consistent exposure towards electromagnetic fields and light.<\/p>\n

\"uv<\/a><\/p>\n

How to protect the eyes and the face?<\/h2>\n

It will be useful to do some thorough research on the potential effects that computers have over skin in its very early stages.<\/p>\n

One more aspect to understand is that LCD screens although don’t emit UV light radiation, are known to emit LED light.<\/p>\n

Such light is associated with eye damage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, studies have associated LED UV lights present in computers, bulbs, TVs and cell phones.<\/p>\n

Therefore, enhancing irreparable harm and risk to the retinal region which can result even in migraine eye pain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Researchers have also stated that damage may be caused by radiation at higher levels present in blue light band.<\/p>\n

\"iris<\/a><\/p>\n

With LED lights being used in TV screens, phones, and computers, the problem is only anticipated to grow.<\/p>\n

Hence, there has been developed blue light filters like Iris<\/a> app that will do a world of good to the eyes and sleep.<\/p>\n
