Blue Light
is Everywhere.
Blue light is a spectrum of light present in almost every facet of our lives. We mainly experience it from our exposure to the sun, but it is also emitted by the screen on a digital device. That means that even after the sun goes down, our eyes continue to be exposed to blue light from our computers at work, our smart phones, and our televisions long into the night. Since our lives have become so much more high-tech than in the past, the amount of blue light we’re exposed to each day has skyrocketed. Today, it is a widely known fact that constant exposure to blue light can result in some serious eye health issues. However, not as many people know exactly where blue light comes from, or how to properly defend against it.

Understanding Blue Light
Heavy exposure to blue light can create all sorts of health complications. In the short term, blue light can cause serious eye strain and discomfort. In the long term, it can rapidly speed up macular degeneration at a young age and can even create cataracts in your eyes.

Blue Light Regulates
our Circadian Rhythm.
Circadian Rhythm defines how our bodies know when to go to sleep and when to wake up. It’s not just our coffee and energy drinks that perk us up in the morning; blue light from the sun is responsible for increased energy and wakefulness. Sounds good right? Well here comes the negative – our habit of checking our emails before bed or falling asleep in front of the TV can disrupt our natural sleep patterns by unnaturally exposing us to blue light at night. Wearing blue light blocking glasses is an effective way to reclaim a good night’s sleep.
Equip Your Eyes
and Protect Your Vision.
To block out blue light, a pair of specially crafted computer glasses are a must. Why? Because the naked eye is not good at all at protecting against it naturally. Computer glasses give you an added layer of protection by filtering out blue light with a special lens coating. The difference in vision is extremely subtle and almost indistinguishable from normal glasses — while the eye health benefits are many.
