What is Blue light?

Exposure to Blue light isn’t anything new.  But the incremental amount of screen time with smartphones and computers has resulted in the exponential prevalence of blue light in our everyday lives. 

With everyone carrying smartphones and spending many hours a day on laptops, and LED bulbs becoming the ultimate source of light at homes and offices, it’s a wise choice to understand how blue light can impact the eyes and how blue light blocking glasses can have positive health benefits. 

Blue light plays a great role in the sleep-wake cycle and has a natural occurrence in the sunlight.  Some types of blue light can be beneficial and help regulate our bodies’ internal biological clocks. However, blue-violet light, or Blue Light, can have a negative impact on the eyes, specifically the retina. Along with age, genetics, diet, lifestyle, and occupation, this type of blue light is a risk factor for the onset of age-related macular degeneration, a deterioration of the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision.

Preventing The Effects Of Blue Light 

A simple way to prevent the adverse effects of blue light by resting your eyes.  Try to dial down the digital devices, such as tablets, laptops, and smartphones; one can opt for the night shift or twilight feature on the device for preventing blue light impacts.  Lastly, it’s suggested that you don’t use digital devices with bright screen display before an hour of going to bed. We understand that it can be hard but it’s worth your health.  

Using the blue light blocking glasses can be a quick way to help reduce eye strain, macular degeneration, and glare while enhancing vision clarity. 

Blue Light Glasses

We know excessive amounts of blue light is harmful for our eyes, using bluelight blocking glasses is a great way to project yourself.  If used consistently, you’ll notice a range of improvements from better sleep, relief from headaches and eye discomfort.

Relief From Eye Discomfort

The blue light blocking glasses will relieve eye discomfort. For instance, excessive screen usage can result in eye strain and computer vision syndrome. The blue light blocking glasses have blue light filtering technology that helps reduce eye strain while enhancing the focus, promising higher productivity. In addition, it ensures that your eyes don’t feel as tired.

Better Sleep 

Excessive exposure to screens can disrupt sleep cycles and patterns. This is because blue light has a high-energy frequency which delays the release of melatonin  that’s responsible for inducing sleep. Blue light tricks the brain into thinking it's daytime. When that happens, the body stops releasing a sleep hormone called melatonin. Melatonin is nature's way of helping us wind down and prepare for bed.  Blue light also helps with alertness, but you wont see any adverse effects of wearing blue light blockers during the day - you’ll just notice a better sleep at night.  

Reduction & Prevention of Age-Related Macular Degeneration 

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that can cause blurred vision, that it often happens in older people. Early research shows that the utilization of blue light blocking glasses may contribute to the delay of AMD or avoid it altogether. 

Blue Light Blocking Glasses – Do They Work?

The goal with bluelight glasses is to filter out the damaging blue light rays which targets the Harmful Blue Light (415 – 455 nm) prevalent many modern technologies, e.g. LED backlighting used in many LCD displays, fluorescent lighting, and the increasingly popular LED lighting of domestic and commercial premises and display cases. Blue light blocking lenses both reflect and filter harmful blue light, while letting beneficial blue light pass through.  Remember though, not all blue light is damaging, blue light also has healthy rays.
