Blue Light Lenses
Why do your eyes feel like sandpaper by 8 PM?
The answer is probably glowing in your hand right now.
Between work emails, doomscrolling, streaming, and video calls, not to mention LED bulbs, we’re bathing our eyes in blue light for 10+ hours every day.
Blue light is part of the visible light spectrum—sitting right between harmful UV rays and the beneficial light we need. While some blue light is natural and necessary, the concentrated doses from our devices are overwhelming our eyes’ natural defenses.
Digital eye strain can be the cause of that 2 PM headache that won’t quit. And that infuriating inability to fall asleep even though you’re exhausted? That’s because blue light from devices and bulbs is telling your brain that it’s still daytime.
Blue light-blocking lenses are specialized lenses that filter out the problematic wavelengths while letting the good light through.
When selecting blue light lenses, you have options:
Lightly tinted lenses are coated with a built-in, light yellow filter to block more of the blue light spectrum. If you’re serious about maximum protection, lightly tinted lenses are your best defense against retinal damage, digital eye strain, and sleep disruption. Perfect for heavy screen users and evening device time.
Virtually clear lenses filter just the damaging portion of the blue spectrum. They look completely natural and are ideal for wearing throughout the day in meetings and video calls.
For each type of material, customizable lens designs are available to meet specific needs for everyday wear, computer use, driving, or hobbies. Blue light lenses can go in any eyeglass frame; however, the stronger the vision correction, the yellower the lenses will appear.
