Collection: Blue light glasses
Modern screens may be technological marvels, but unfortunately, they are far from optimal for your vision. Even the latest 8K resolution OLED panels emit blue light that can cause fatigue to your eyes. Fortunately, we carry a wide range of glasses for every taste that can filter all blue light rays. Choose the one for you, and protect your eyes with style.
Our glasses are available for delivery globally, including the US, Canada, UK, and Europe, in Prescription, Non-Rx, and Readers.

FAQ
Can blue light blocking glasses prevent eye strain?
Blue light can affect your eyes negatively - especially in the long run. By preventing the blue light rays emitted from your monitors from reaching your eyes, blue light blocking glasses can help reduce eye strain.
The more time spent in front of monitors, the more you need a pair of blue light blocking glasses to protect your eyes.
How do blue light glasses work?
By incorporating filters inside each lens, blue light blocking glasses can absorb or repel the range of light wavelengths perceived as blue by our eyes. Thus, they act as a wall or mirror for harmful rays, blocking them from reaching the retinas.
How can blue light blocking glasses help you?
The light wavelengths we perceive as blue hues can cause eyestrain. They are harmful to the eyes' retinas in the long run. The filters inside blue light blocking glasses minimize eye strain and protect the eyes by eliminating those light wavelengths.
When should you wear blue light glasses?
Blue light blocking lenses are designed specifically for blocking blue light rays emitted from screens. Thus, it would be best if you always used them when you're looking at any monitor -- from the larger TVs and computer screens to the smaller tablets and smartphones in your life.
Is it safe to wear blue light glasses all day?
Monitors might be the primary source of blue light in our modern way of living, but they're not the only one. LEDs are the worst offenders, but all light sources emit blue light. And it reaches our retinas throughout the day.
Thus, not only it's safe to wear blue light blocking glasses all day, but they can further protect you by filtering out any blue light wavelengths from any light source.
Are blue light glasses safe? Can they damage my eyes?
Blue light blocking glasses are safe since they don't affect the eyes nor distort vision. They work by filtering out blue light wavelengths. The only effect on the eyes is the intended: less tiresome blue hues and a warmer color range.
Do the glasses need to be "broken in"?
Blue light blocking glasses aren't like plasma monitors that need some time and tuning to show their true colors. They come ready-to-use, the filters in their lenses eliminating almost the entire range of blue light waves.
Will my eyes hurt or feel tired? Will I need a period of adjustment? Are there any side effects?
Your eyes won't feel tired, but you might need some time to adjust to the warmer tints of a world where harmful blue light rays don't exist.
Blue light blocking glasses have no side effects. Although they're a protective shield from the harmful blue light rays emitted by screens, you can safely use them throughout the day.
Is there some way to check if the glasses I'm already using can block blue light at home? How can I know if they fully protect me?
Blue light blocking glasses work by filtering out blue light rays. Thus, when you put them on, you'll perceive a change in the color palette, with fewer blue hues. A change in the world's colors indicates your glasses filter some light rays.
Still, that's far from the whole story, since you can't know if they are blocking all harmful blue light rays. The only way to be sure of that is to purchase your blue light blocking glasses from a reputable brand.
Why Blue Light Can be Bad for You
According to the National Eye Institute, 2.9 million Americans have low vision, and the number will have almost doubled by 2030. Their statistics include major eye diseases, from Age-related Macular Degeneration to Cataract. Those, though, are the effects, not the causes.
Instead of fixing a problem, it's better to take preventative action, so it never happens. When talking about the blue light attacking us from our screens, a pair of quality blue light blocking glasses is the best such "action".
No, blue light blocking glasses are not some magical solution that can work for everyone. Especially when you're younger, with perfect eye vision, such "accessories" might seem like gimmicks.
As your sessions in front of screens get progressively longer or you're getting older, though, you start to feel the impact of our modern lifestyle. It's not uncommon for the average office worker to:
Have blurry vision. Feel their eyes tired, too wet or dry, looking red.Have headaches or migraines.Have sleep-related problems (can't fall asleep or have long sleep sessions without waking up).
With our current way of life, it's outright impossible to avoid screens. Thankfully, we can eliminate the very reason our monitors can be harmful to our vision: the blue light rays they emit.
All it takes is a pair of quality blue light blocking glasses equipped with specialized filters that can absorb or deflect all harmful blue light rays.
We might not realize it, but we spend hours looking at multiple monitors every day.
-
The average adult is said to consume five times more information per day than what was the norm a mere five decades ago.
-
Most of this "information" reaches us through screens. That's why we find ourselves in front of a TV or computer monitor for over 12 hours per day.
-
Those "12 hours" refer to the time we spend at home and don't account for exposure to screens at work.
Why You Need Blue Light Blocking Glasses
If talking about art, blue is indeed a color. In Physics, though, it's high-frequency, high-energy light in the violet/blue band from 400 to 450 nm in the visible spectrum (according to Wikipedia). And if switching subjects to biology, blue light, especially of the LED kind, can have severe effects on our health. In both the short and long term.
Harvard Health Publishing asserts blue light, and more so of the LED kind, can disrupt sleep. France's Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety reports blue light leads to impaired vision and, in the long term, Age-related Macular Degeneration.
If you find yourself in front of monitors for some time every day (and if you're reading this, we can safely guess you are), then it's not a question of why you need blue light blocking glasses. Blue light rays' harmful results are well documented, and it's a given you should protect yourself from them. Thus, the actual question should be, "when will your blue light glasses reach your doorstep".
