Abstract
With the emerging presence of technology, increased contact with electronic devices has given rise to problems regarding prolonged exposure to blue light, including interruption of the circadian cycle, damage to retinal cells, and other vision-related issues [1]. Despite the aversive side effects of blue light, it holds therapeutic promise for a variety of different conditions. Phototherapy, in the form of UV light, is mainly used to treat skin conditions [2]. Recently, researchers have started investigating other applications of phototherapy, including blue light therapy. Blue light therapy is being explored as a potential therapy for traumatic brain injuries, which result from violent blows or jolts to the head that can be debilitating or even fatal [3]. Currently, there are a limited number of treatment options for traumatic brain injuries. Yet, blue light therapy has shown to facilitate structural and functional recovery and improve various executive functions such as memory, alertness, and attention in the treatment of mild traumatic brain injuries [4].
