TCL CSOT Awarded World's First SGS Certification for Quasi-Natural Light Spectrum Displays
SHANGHAI, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TCL CSOT's Natural-Spectrum Slim Pad Display was awarded the world's first SGS Quasi-Natural Light Spectrum EX certification at MWC Shanghai 2025. Recognized for its outstanding performance in spectrum optimization and wide color gamut, it is the first display to pass this rigorous certification globally. With it, TCL CSOT sets an industry benchmark in eye-care display technology, bringing visuals closer to the natural light spectrum. TCL CSOT's Quasi-Natural Light Spectrum Display Technology: Advancing Eye-care and Image Quality With display screens now central to everyday life and adopted at increasingly early ages, consumers are placing greater emphasis on eye-friendly, high-performance, and ultra-portable devices. TCL CSOT has continuously increased its investment in eye-care technology research and development, introducing Quasi-Natural Light Spectrum Display Technology. By optimizing both BLU and RGB color filter solutions, TCL CSOT's quasi-natural light spectrum display technology achieves a full-spectral light composition that closely resembles natural sunlight, which is beneficial for physiological rhythms. During the day, it promotes dopamine secretion in the retina, helping to prevent nearsightedness. At night, it reduces the melatonin suppression, minimizing the impact on sleep. Certified Performance: SGS Endorses TCL CSOT's Innovation in Eye-Care Display SGS is the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company. It recently introduced the industry's first standard for quasi-natural light spectrum displays, the PT-25-000-203860 Quasi-Natural Light Spectrum Certification Assessment Technical Specification, which uses measurable scientific indicators to evaluate display optical performance. Research shows that a key concern to visual fatigue is the spectral mismatch between artificial and natural light. The SGS standard addresses this by simulating the spectral distribution of natural light, helping optimize display lighting at the source. According to the standard, products must pass the following rigorous tests: Quasi-Natural Light Index (QNLI): This measures how closely the product's spectrum matches natural light. Testing Principle: It compares the product's spectrum with that of natural light at midday, calculating the conformity within the 380-780nm visible spectrum. In a comprehensive evaluation conducted by the SGS technical team, TCL CSOT's Natural-Spectrum Slim Pad Display achieved a QNLI score of 56%, significantly surpassing the threshold required for EX-grade. 'Earning the world's first SGS Quasi-Natural Light Spectrum EX certification for our Natural-Spectrum Slim Pad Display is a strong recognition of our eye-care display technology,' said Jou Ming-Jong, Chief of the Technology Planning Center at TCL CSOT.

Health Ministry to table Optometry Bill in Oct, targets one optometrist per 16,000 Malaysians amid eye care inequality
PUTRAJAYA, June 17 — The Optometry Bill is expected to be tabled in Parliament this October, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad. He said the proposed legislation would serve as a dedicated legal framework to regulate all aspects of the optometry profession in Malaysia. 'It will be a stand-alone Act governing the practice, training, registration and scope of duties for optometrists, distinct from opticians,' he told reporters after launching the Primary Eye Care Service Guidelines for the Optometry Profession today. Dr Dzulkefly added that the Bill is also expected to cover online sales of optical products, as well as enforcement provisions and penalties to safeguard consumer safety. 'This legislation is crucial in elevating optometry as a recognised, qualified, safe and effective professional field,' he said. Dr Dzulkefly highlighted the critical role of optometrists in the primary healthcare system, particularly in the early detection of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, hypertension, glaucoma and other retinal conditions. 'Optometrists are not only responsible for managing refractive errors, they also serve as a vital frontline in identifying eye diseases linked to NCDs,' he said. He acknowledged that Malaysia has yet to meet the World Health Organisation's recommended ratio of one optometrist per 10,000 population. 'We are currently at a ratio of 1:16,000, which affects the health system's capacity to provide equitable and quality eye care services to the people,' he said. Dr Dzulkefly also noted that Malaysia produces only about 200 optometrists annually, reflecting the need for a strategic approach to workforce development through expanded training and capacity building. Dr Dzulkefly also expressed concern over the low coverage of regular vision screening and the financial burden of treatment, including cataract surgery and the purchase of corrective lenses, which continues to fall on the majority of Malaysians, particularly those in rural areas. He emphasised the need for a sustainable and progressive financing mechanism to ensure that no one is left behind in accessing quality eye care. On the newly launched Primary Eye Care Service Guidelines, Dr Dzulkefly described it as a strategic step forward, laying a strong foundation for an ethical, evidence-based and safe framework for private optometric practice. He added that the implementation of credentialing and privileging would ensure that only qualified and competent optometrists are entrusted with specific clinical responsibilities. — Bernama

7 Easy Habits That Will Support Your Eye Health This Summer
Your skin isn't the only part of your body that needs to be protected from the sun's UV rays. The same goes for your eyes, especially during the summer months. The World Health Organization reports that 15 million people worldwide are blind from cataracts, and for up to 10% of these people, the cause of their condition may have been exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Fortunately, there are simple habits you can adopt that will keep your eyes healthy and happy as the summer sun beams down. How to protect your eyes from the sun There are plenty of ways to protect your eyes in the heat, from wearing sunglasses to following a balanced diet. Here are some science-backed tips for summer eye care. Wear sunglasses One of the easiest -- and most stylish -- ways to take care of your eyes is by wearing sunglasses during the day. When your eyes aren't protected from the sun, they're exposed to multiple types of UV rays, which can increase your risk of certain diseases, including photokeratitis and cataracts. Westend61/Getty Images Consider polarized lenses: Polarized lenses are designed with a special chemical that filters more light than other sunglasses. They also reduce glare from reflective surfaces, like water and snow, so they're a good option if you spend a lot of time outside. Choose the right lens color: While it may seem like darker lenses would provide more protection from UV rays, the opposite is true. Extremely dark lenses force your pupils to open wider, allowing more sunlight into your eyes. Instead of dark lenses, opt for gray or smoke-colored lenses to get the most sun protection. Keep your eyes hydrated During summer, your eyes can dry out quickly, particularly if you live in a dry climate, sit in air-conditioned spaces regularly or spend lots of time in swimming pools. Dehydrated eyes can have uncomfortable consequences, causing burning, irritation and light sensitivity, which may get worse if you wear contact lenses. Avoid alcohol: Drinking alcohol can also dry out your eyes, so reducing your booze intake may help keep your eyes more lubricated and stave off dehydration. Use eye drops if your eyes are dry: If you have a moderate case of dry eyes, you may find some relief from over-the-counter eye drops. But if the irritation continues, talk to your doctor about getting prescription-strength drops. Read more: Best Nonalcoholic Drinks Eat a balanced diet Following a nutritious diet can also benefit eye health. Specifically, you'll want to aim for a well-balanced meal plan that includes a variety of antioxidant-rich foods. For example, vitamin C may help lower your risk of developing cataracts. Good sources of this vitamin include raw bell peppers, oranges and carrots. Similarly, vitamin E protects your eyes from free radicals, which can damage and break down the tissue in your eyes. You can find vitamin E in seeds, nuts and sweet potatoes. Finally, vitamin A also supports proper eye function and is found in foods like leafy greens and orange vegetables. In contrast, there are also foods that aren't great for your eye health. Sugary drinks and fried foods, for instance, can raise your risk of diabetes and, later, diabetic retinopathy. Limit screen time Staring at a laptop or phone screen for too long can irritate your eyes and lead to eye strain. Common symptoms of eye strain include headaches, light sensitivity, itchy eyes and blurred vision. However, depending on your job, avoiding screen time may not be realistic. However, there are some eye care tactics you can use to limit the effect that digital screens have on your eyes. Notably, the American Optometric Association recommends following the 20-20-20 rule while you're using electronic screens. This means taking a 20-second break from all screens at least once every 20 minutes to look at an object that's 20 feet away. Other strategies to protect your eyes from digital screens include lowering the brightness on your devices, switching to dark mode and wearing blue-light-blocking glasses, though research is iffy on these glasses for eye health. JoseAvoid looking directly at the sun Staring at the sun for too long isn't just uncomfortable -- it can cause serious, and sometimes permanent, damage to your eyes. When the sun's UV rays enter your eyes, they can form free radicals and harm your retinas, potentially causing a condition known as solar or photic retinopathy. Milder symptoms of solar retinopathy can range from watery eyes to eye discomfort to headache. If your case is more severe, you may experience blurred vision or blind spots. For some people, these effects are irreversible. If you've noticed that your vision has worsened after viewing an eclipse or looking at the sun, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. Protect your eyes while outside or playing sports Aside from wearing sunglasses, there are other effective ways to protect your eyes while you're spending time outside. For example, if you're gardening or hiking, you can wear a wide-brimmed hat or visor to keep your eyes covered. If you're headed to the beach or pool, grab a pair of goggles to protect your eyes from the water, salt and chlorine and ward off swimmers' eye. Similarly, if you're playing sports, make sure to put on protective glasses to lower your risk of eye injury. No matter what you're doing, you should also wear sunscreen on your face to prevent burns on your eyelids or the sensitive skin around your eyes. Get quality sleep If you've ever woken up from a poor night's sleep with dry and itchy eyes, you've experienced how a lack of quality sleep can impact your eye health, and science backs that up. In one study, researchers found a correlation between low-quality sleep and dry eye disease, noting that subpar sleep quality can aggravate the effects of DED. Read more: Poor Sleep? Try These Easy Tricks When you're tired, you're also more likely to rub your eyes, which could lead to eye damage or an infection. Separately, not getting enough sleep has been linked to other irritating but nonserious health issues, including myokymia (eye twitching), bloodshot eyes and puffiness and under-eye bags.
