What are Blue Light Blocking Glasses?

Blue light-blocking glasses are special glasses designed to reduce the amount of blue light that enters your eyes. The lenses are designed to filter out the high-energy visible (HEV) blue light emitted by digital devices such as computers, phones, and TVs.

Blue light glasses are available in both prescription and non-prescription versions.

How do blue light blocking glasses work?

Blue light-blocking glasses filter out the high-energy visible (HEV) blue light emitted by digital devices. The lenses are specially designed to reduce the amount of blue light that reaches your eyes. This helps to reduce the strain and fatigue that can be caused by exposure to blue light.

The lenses of blue light glasses have unique coatings that absorb and reflect the HEV blue light. This helps to reduce the amount of blue light that enters your eyes, which in turn helps to reduce the effects of blue light on your eyes and overall health.

The Effects of Blue Light on Our Sleep

Blue light is light emitted from digital devices such as computers, phones, and TVs. Studies have shown that blue light can disrupt our natural circadian rhythm, making it harder to fall asleep. This can lead to various issues, such as fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.

Blue light can have such a negative effect on our sleep because it suppresses the production of melatonin, the hormone that helps regulate our sleep-wake cycle. By wearing blue light-blocking glasses, you can reduce your exposure to blue light and help to improve your sleep.

Do Blue Light Glasses Work?

The short answer is yes, blue light glasses do work. Studies have shown that blue light-blocking glasses can significantly reduce the amount of blue light that reaches your eyes. This can help reduce the strain and fatigue caused by blue light and the risk of long-term damage to your eyes.

Prescription Blue Light Glasses

Blue light glasses are available in both prescription and non-prescription versions. You can opt for prescription blue light glasses if you need prescription glasses. These glasses have lenses specially designed to reduce the amount of blue light that reaches your eyes.

Prescription blue light glasses are an excellent option for people who need vision correction, as they can help reduce the strain and fatigue caused by blue light while providing the vision correction you require.
