New Spanish research has found that blue light from screens can transform vital molecules in the retina of your eyes into ‘cell killers’. Although not quite as alarming as it sounds, that damage can lead to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) – a leading cause of blindness. Dr Karunarathne, who carried out the study, said: ‘We are being exposed to blue light continuously, and the eye’s cornea and lens cannot block or reflect it.’ They hope their findings will lead to a new eye drop. Until then, they recommended using apps that filter blue-light on screens, wearing sunglasses outside on bright days and avoiding looking at screens in the dark. It might also be worth boosting your gut bacteria, as previous research found it can limit your chances of developing AMD. Try Pro-Ven Adult Acidophilus & Bifidus Capsules (£13.95 for 30 at Hollandandbarrett.com).
