Illumination Source That Emits Reduced Short Wavelengths of Light to Protect Eyes

The object of this invention is an illumination source that reduces, to a variable extent, the emission of short wavelengths of light to protect healthy and/or pseudophakic eyes (subjected to cataract surgery) and/or eyes suffering neurodegeneration from the short wavelengths of the visible spectrum from 500 to 380 nm. The light source can be incandescent, halogen, fluorescent or any other source. The invention avoids the difficulties and risks of existing ways of protecting healthy eyes or eyes subjected to cataract surgery, and improves the protection of eyes suffering neurodegeneration, simply by reducing the short wavelengths of the visible spectrum emitted by a light source. The invention consists of an ordinary light source whose emission of a variable proportion of short wavelengths of the visible spectrum from 500 to 380 nm is reduced.
