Harms of blue light to newborns:

Blue light does not mean that a light is blue, instead, a high-energy visible light with a wavelength of 400-500nm. It can penetrate the lens to reach the retina, cause optical damage, and accelerate oxidation of cells in the macular region. And it may have side effects on neonatal perineum and ovary, which may lead to further maldevelopment and infertility,etc. As a result, blue light has been proven to be the most harmful visible light.

Infants and young children are most likely to be hurt by blue light. Because babies' lens are relatively clear, difficult to filter the blue light. For ages 0-2, about 70-80% of the blue light can penetrate the lens to reach the retina, and for ages 2-10, around 60-70% of the blue light could irradiate the retina.

Therefore, when newborns with jaundice are treated with phototherapy, medical eye-care, perineum-care special products are indispensable, in order to avoid harm the blue light.
