Summary
This paper discusses the development of a novel approach to selectively filter out blue-light wavelengths in contact lenses through the use of plasmonic silver nanoparticles.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the development of contact lenses that filter out harmful blue-light wavelengths, which can cause damage to the eyes.
Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses the use of plasmonic silver nanoparticles to selectively filter out blue-light wavelengths, which is a consideration in the design of the contact lenses.
Phototherapy: The paper discusses the potential health impacts of overexposure to high-energy visible (HEV) light, and the development of contact lenses that can filter out these harmful wavelengths could be considered a form of phototherapy.
