The Truth About Blue Light Lenses: Do You Need Them?
In our modern world we’re exposed to more screens than ever, which can harm our eyes over time. Blue light lenses can protect your eyes from harmful blue light rays from screens.
Let’s dive into how blue light lenses can reduce eye strain, improve sleep and look after your long term eye health.
What Is Blue Light & Do I Need Blue Light Glasses?
Blue light is part of the light spectrum and can be harmful to your eyes. It’s in natural sunlight, but is also given off by screens, LED lights and other artificial light sources.
Blue light has been linked to the development of cataracts and macular degeneration, which can cloud your vision and damage your retina.
This is where Blue light blocking glasses come in.
Blue light lenses block out the majority of harmful blue light, protecting your eyes and supporting long-term eye health.
Health Benefits of Blue Light Lenses
Wearing blue light lenses protects your eyes from all the harmful effects from blue light exposure.
On a daily basis, blue light lenses can reduce symptoms of eye strain like eye dryness, irritation, blurred vision, headaches and fatigue.
In the long term, you’ll reduce the likelihood of eye diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration.
Plus, if you’re rocking blue light safety glasses, you’ll have additional eye protection against flying dirt, debris and splashes of harmful liquids.
Whatever your daily routine throws at you, it pays to be protected against unexpected dangers to look after your eyes for the short and long term.
How Blue Light Lenses Help You Sleep
Did you know that exposure to blue light can disrupt your sleep?
Looking at screens throughout the day, and especially before bed, can significantly reduce your quality of sleep.
Here’s the science behind it…
Blue light disrupts melatonin production in your brain, which is the hormone that regulates your sleep cycle.
Too much blue light can interfere with your sleep cycle and leave you feeling tired, grumpy and can affect your day-to-day health.
Research from Harvard Medical School indicates that wearing blue light lenses can improve sleep patterns and overall health and well-being.
This is one of the most noticeable daily benefits you’ll feel from wearing blue light lens safety glasses.
Are Blue Light Glasses Bad For Your Eyes?
No, blue light glasses aren't bad for your eyes. In fact, they're designed to reduce eye strain and help you feel more comfortable during long hours in front of a screen.
Some may assume that by filtering out blue light this is somehow bad for your eyes and 'weaken' them in some way.
But this is simply not the case, and there's no scientific evidence to support that.
Blue light glasses simply act as a filter to protect your eyes from the extra blue light that pours out of our newly invented screens. Our eyes haven't evolved to be exposed to the amount of blue light that our screens emit.
So they're just an extra layer of protection for our vulnerable eyes.
This means they're definitely good for your eyes!
