Blue light glasses, also known as blue light blocking glasses, are specially designed to shield your eyes from the harmful effects of blue light emitted by digital screens. Those who use screens for more than 2 hours a day outside of work are especially at risk of experiencing these negative effects.
In today's digital-centric world, we're constantly exposed to screens emitting blue light which can have significant effects on the health of our eyes. Prolonged screen time can result in digital eye strain causing discomfort, dryness, and headaches. Blue light's interference with our natural sleep patterns, primarily during evening hours, disrupts the production of melatonin, potentially leading to sleep disturbances.
Recent studies also raise concerns about potential retinal damage due to prolonged exposure to high-energy blue light, emphasising the need to be proactive in minimising its effects. To combat these issues, blue light glasses have emerged as a practical solution, offering lenses equipped with blue light filtering coatings to help mitigate the impact of prolonged screen exposure.
With screens playing a major role in our daily lives, concerns of emitted blue light have emerged. Blue light glasses offer a range of potential health benefits for frequent screen users.
Blue light glasses help safeguard eye health by reducing the risk of digital eye strain which can cause dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches. These glasses also potentially protect against long-term damage to the retina's light-sensitive cells.
Blue light can suppress melatonin, the sleep-regulating hormone. Blue light glasses reduce this interference, promoting better sleep, especially for those using devices before bedtime.
