Modern Medical Proof
The Relationship Between Blue Light and Eye Health
In modern medicine, research on the effects of blue light, particularly on sleep patterns and vision, is actively underway. Blue light helps improve mood and alertness during the day, but at night, it excessively stimulates our nervous system and suppresses the secretion of melatonin. Melatonin plays an essential role in inducing sleep. When exposed to blue light for long periods, sleep cycles become irregular, eye fatigue increases, and the risk of retinal damage rises. Furthermore, continuous blue light exposure causes reduced vision and chronic eye fatigue, negatively affecting long-term eye health. Protecting eye health from blue light is an essential challenge that modern people must resolve.

Traditional Wisdom
The Eyes Are the Light of the Mind
In Donguibogam, the eyes are called the sprout of the mind and the light of the spirit. This means the eyes are not simply windows for viewing the external world. The eyes reflect our inner state of mind and nerves, directly connecting to our health. The reason eyes are fatigued and sleep disorders are frequent in modern society is that we fail to manage this light properly. Without a moment of rest, our eyes are exposed to digital device screens, which disrupts the body's natural rhythm.
