Summary
This paper proposes two numerical indexes, the Non-Linear Circadian Index and the Retinal Index, to quantify the effects of exposure to short-wavelength visible radiation on human health, and uses these indexes to perform a comparative analysis between commercially available lenses with blue-blocking treatment and non-treated lenses.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the effects of short-wavelength visible radiation on the eyes, and proposes two numerical indexes to quantify these effects.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the impact of light exposure on the circadian cycle, which can affect cognitive function and memory.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the impact of light exposure on the circadian cycle, which can affect sleep patterns and potentially contribute to insomnia.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the effects of different types of lenses on light exposure, which is relevant to considerations in lighting design.
