Blue Light Blocking Glasses

Shield your eyes from harmful blue light

What is Blue Light?

Contrary to UV light, blue light is emitted all around us, every day — both indoors and outdoors, from the screens on our digital device to the sun as the biggest source. Extended exposure may cause eye damage and discomfort, but don't worry! With our blue light blocking glasses, you can enjoy your screen time and preserve your eyesight. Learn how to choose the best lenses.

How Does Blue Light Affect Us?

Our constant connection to our smartphones, tablets, and laptops may contribute to headaches, sore eyes, and stiff necks — all symptoms of digital eyestrain. With the majority of our waking hours spent in front of a screen, paired with harmful blue-violet light* from digital devices, it's no surprise that our eyes are working harder than ever.

*Disclaimer: Harmful blue-violet light is between 415-455nm.

HEV Light

So, what are we looking at? To start, the wavelength of visible light is between 380 - 780nm. High energy visible light, HEV, is between 425-455nm and may cause damage to our eyes. This portion of light includes harmful blue-violet light emitted by our digital devices. And with the average person consuming around 10 hours of screen time a day, men's blue light glasses and women's blue light glasses have never been more important.

Protect Your Eyes with Blue Light Blocking Glasses

Both our non-prescription and prescription blue light glasses are designed to protect your eyes from extended exposure to harmful blue-violet light. Whether you're wearing them for gaming glasses, working into the wee hours of the night, or binge-watching your favorite show, blue light blocker glasses are the way to go.

Many of my patients are spending more time on screens. I've recommended they try blue light blocking glasses, and most agree they can tell an improvement in their eye strain and fatigue levels.
