Blue Light Lenses for Digital Screen Protection

Blue Light Lenses for Digital Screen Protection

The digital devices use every day emit harmful blue light from their screens. Blue light is dangerous because its high-energy wavelength allows it to penetrate to the back of the eyes, which could destroy your retina.

Science indicates that overexposure to blue light has serious consequences. In the short term, it causes eye strain, headaches, dry eye, and blurred vision. In the long run, blue light causes age-related macular generation, certain cancers, and heart disease. It also leads to premature cataracts and diabetes.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to avoid blue light. Our lives are so interwoven with technology that there’s no escaping its harmful effects. The solution is to wear blue light lenses to protect your eyes when using digital devices.

Blue Light Lenses

Initially popular among gamers and office workers, blue light lenses are worn by many. The world is now more exposed to digital blue light from working with more electronic devices than ever before. Many people are taking proactive measures to protect their eyes.

Blue light is produced in a range of wavelengths, ranging between 380nm and 500nm. Blue light lenses target wavelengths ranging between 415-455nm, such as those produced by most device screens.

Blue light lenses filter harmful blue light that digital screens emit while allowing the passage of blue light strains that are healthy and beneficial. These rays regulate your circadian rhythm and boost your cognitive function and memory. The good blue light also improves your mood and increases your alertness. These lenses only filter out the high-intensity wavelengths without taking away the ones you need. The blue light passing through creates a significant improvement from the light you’d get without these yellow-hued glasses.

Anyone can wear blue light lenses. They are especially recommended for children below age 12. A child is more vulnerable to damage because their eyes have not fully developed a natural protective barrier.

You Don’t Need a Prescription

Unless you already wear prescription glasses, you don’t need a prescription. Blue lenses are more like the old computer glasses, for which you did not need a prescription. You only need to walk into an eye clinic and choose a pair of eyewear with an optician’s help. If you need a prescription, the eye doctor will arrange that for you too. You may also order your blue lens glasses online. So long as you know the right fit for you, placing an order is simple.

Be careful to stress “blue lenses” when placing your order. If you ask for computer lenses, you may get the old version of computer lenses, which do not block blue light. So, be specific about what you want.

Suitable for Both Indoors and Outdoors

Wear your protective blue light lenses both indoors and when walking in the sun. The sun is the biggest producer of blue light, and too much exposure to it harms your eyes. It’s not enough to protect yourself from human-made sources only. Get lenses that protect you from both.
