Artificial Blue Light: An Overlooked Cause of Many Chronic Health Issues

In today's tech-centric world, a surge in screen time fueled by online learning and increased indoor activities has significantly elevated children's exposure to blue light.

This trend, coupled with the advent of brighter LED lighting, has made avoiding blue light a challenge, especially for young developing eye. The need to protect children from the potential health risks associated with prolonged blue light exposure has never been more critical.

Disrupted Sleep Patterns

Blue light inhibits the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles. For children, whose bodies and brains are still developing, sufficient sleep is crucial for healthy development. Disrupted sleep can lead to problems with memory, learning, and emotional regulation.

Increased Risk of ADHD Symptoms

Excessive screen time and exposure to blue light have been linked to increased symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children. The stimulating effects of blue light and interactive nature of many digital devices can exacerbate attention problems and hyperactivity, making it harder for children to focus during the day.

Impaired Cognitive Development

Adequate sleep is essential for cognitive development in children. Since blue light exposure can significantly disrupt sleep quality and duration, it indirectly affects cognitive functions such as learning, memory, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities.

Emotional and Behavioral Issues

Adequate sleep is essential for cognitive development in children. Since blue light exposure can significantly disrupt sleep quality and duration, it indirectly affects cognitive functions such as learning, memory, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities.

Headaches & Brain Fog

Children are particularly vulnerable to digital eye strain, characterized by dry, itchy eyes, blurred vision, and headaches.

Myopia (Nearsightedness)

Prolonged exposure to artificial blue light from screens and tablets may contribute to the development and progression of myopia in children.

A Premium Partnership To Protect Our Youth

Ra Optics is excited to partner with Dr. Courtney Kahla to bring you the Riley Frames, stylish science-backed blue light blocking glasses for kids. Available in both Daylight Frames and Sunset Frames, you can now protect your kids’ potential 24/7.

How To Optimize Your Kids Lives With The Science of Light

1

Get Natural Sunlight Exposure

Every morning for 10-15 minutes, expose your eyes and skin to direct sunlight. Remove eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses.

2

Wear Riley Daylight Lenses

During the day, wear Ra Optics Daylight Lenses when you are exposed to artificial light sources (at home, on the tablet, TV, or school). This shields your eyes from the damaging blue light emitted by screens and other artificial light sources, while relaxing your mind and keeping stress hormones in check.

3

Wear Riley Sunset Lenses

Each evening, wear Ra Optics Sunset Lenses post-sunset to guard against disruptive blue light from common artificial light sources. These lenses help your brain and body naturally wind down and relax (without sleeping pills or other supplements), encouraging deep restorative sleep and optimal development.

The Preferred Blue Light Blocking Glasses of Leading Health and Wellness Experts, Biohackers,
and World-Class Athletes

In the realm of pushing boundaries and reaching unparalleled peaks of performance, there is an undeniable relationship between physical excellence and holistic well-being.

So, what’s the underrated aspect of optimal health that is steadily becoming a game-changer for many high-performers, including top-tier athletes, groundbreaking biohackers, and esteemed fitness professionals?

They trust Ra Optics.

"Ra Optics is, hands down, the best blue light protection eyewear I've found. While most lenses on the market do not block any meaningful amount of the most damaging wavelengths of light (despite having hefty marketing claims), Ra Optics excels at actually eliminating these wavelengths completely. While Ra is driven by their mission to make people aware of the health risks of the modern, indoor, tech-based lifestyle, they are completely science-focused, committed to constant improvement, and always providing the greatest benefits for their customers. I don't recommend any other blue light blockers."

Circadian rhythms are a set of physiological, psychological, and behavioral changes that occur within a 24-hour cycle. ‘Circa’ is Latin for “approximately”, and ‘dies’ means “a day”; therefore, circadian means “approximately a day”.

This cycle is predominantly influenced by light and impacts the biologogical functions of a wide range of organisms, especially humans.

Protecting our circadian rhythms is one of the most important things we can do for our health. When our circadian rhythm is disrupted, we are exposed.

How We Discovered The Power of Light Science

As a kid, I had a feeling that there was more to life than the world I saw. I experienced health challenges from a young age—gut issues, allergies, and headaches—that made my experience of this world difficult and uncomfortable.

I mistakenly thought these health challenges were genetic and there was nothing I could do about them but. Deep down, I knew there was more.

In high school, my symptoms became unbearable. I frantically searched for solutions and eventually came across an article about epigenetics, a science proving that we can change how our genes are expressed based on environmental inputs. The article stated was that diet is the most significant factor, so I believed it, and became obsessed with optimizing my diet to optimize my health. Initially I felt amazing, convincing me that food was the key. For the first time in my life, I felt hope.

But symptoms still lingered, and this sent me into a tailspin of very restrictive dieting in which I felt worse, not better.

Then I came across the science of light: a body of research indicating that light plays a crucial role in our biology. It controls our sleep/wake cycle, cellular repair, energy production, hormones, neurotransmitters, and even how our body processes food.

I realized that my light environment was definitely sub- optimal and, therefore, preventing my body from functioning optimally. I could be eating the perfect diet, but with a low quality “light diet”, I couldn’t reach my highest potential. I read everything I could and applied the Science of Light to my life, what I now call “The Light Diet”. My entire body and life changed for the better. I looked and felt much better, my brain worked better, I slept amazingly, and I had more energy than I had ever experienced.

Modern life has many challenges, including lighting, stress, and other factors that can knock our body out of balance, but I was never satisfied with the idea that we should have to live on a mountain-top or a remote beach to experience optimal health.

So, I founded Ra to create products based on the most advanced understanding of life—the Science of Light— to help myself and others to maintain balance in the face of the challenges of the modern world, and, ultimately, to support us in realizing our greatest potential.
