Practice Screen Safety with Blue Light Glasses
Make chic blue light glasses your screen time sidekick. These days, it's rare to catch a break from staring at our phones, laptops, and other sneaky, blue-light-blasting devices that leave our eyes feeling fried. Enter blue light glasses—the go-to solution for reducing eye strain, headaches, and that wired, can’t-fall-asleep feeling you get after a late-night Netflix binge. They’re your secret weapon for keeping screen time from messing with your eyes (and your sleep). Read on for all the details on blue light glasses that are a low-key essential for anyone living in the digital age.
The Issue with Blue Light
While blue light isn’t as intense as the sun’s UV rays, it messes with your eyes in a similar way. Too much screen time can leave you with eye strain, headaches, and totally wreck your sleep by throwing off your circadian rhythm. And the really bad news? Long-term exposure to blue light can actually cause damage to retinal cells, leading to bigger problems like cataracts and age-related vision issues. That’s where blue light glasses come in—they filter out the harsh blue light with a cool, barely-there yellow tint, giving your eyes a break from the digital chaos and helping protect your vision for the long haul.
Are Blue Light Glasses Worth It?
We know what you’re thinking; are blue light glasses effective? Blue light glasses are a lot like seat belts or any protective device—they only work when you use them. Wearing blue light glasses are designed to filter the amount of blue light emitted from digital screens with a subtle yellow tint. Pair blue light coated lenses with your prescription or wear them solo. Either way, they’re a smart and effortless upgrade to your eyewear collection, giving your eyes some much-needed relief—and even a boost to your style so you can go camera on with confidence.
