Eyestrain: Blue Light Glasses

WHAT IS BLUE LIGHT? 

Blue light is a short wavelength in the visible light spectrum. The primary source of blue light is derived from sunlight. However, with the increased use of digital devices and fluorescent lighting, we are all exposed to more blue in our daily lives.

HOW DOES BLUE LIGHT AFFECT US?

Constant blue light exposure from electronic devices contribute significantly to digital eyestrain. Digital eyestrain is associated with dry, itchy eyes, headaches, and fatigue. Blue light that normally comes from the sun is essential in maintaining our sleep-wake cycles. However, through repeated exposure to blue light from digital screens, the body’s sleep-wake cycles can be disrupted, causing a decline in sleep quality and overall health

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WEARING BLUE-BLOCKING GLASSES?

From staring at our electronic devices to going out in the sun, blue light is always present. Although, a certain amount of blue light is needed in our lives, reducing exposure can help you sleep better, reduce digital eyestrain, and improve your overall comfort. Blue-blocking glasses can filter up to 45% of all harmful blue light being emitted from digital devices. These blue-blocking lenses will help make screen time more comfortable while also protecting your vision and health.
