Aug 2017 | All of the recent social media attention to the ocular dangers of a solar eclipse definitely has people thinking about their eyes. I had two patients today ask about the potential damage from clinical testing lights. The lights that Optometrists use to examine your eyes may be bright - "like the sun" - but they are not dangerous. Sunlight has a broad spectrum with lots of powerful visible light and ultra-violet (UV) wavelengths that can cause damage. Our lights do not have enough power to cause harm. Dr.j studioeyecare.com
