Blue Light Glasses

Have you ever heard of blue light glasses? Why do some people wear glasses only when looking at a screen even if their vision is perfectly normal. Why are these glasses sometimes tinted yellow? There are many reasons for this and these glasses are known as blue light glasses. They are intended for use when looking at a screen for a prolonged period of time and can help ease eye strain as well as some other ailments that can come with long-term watching of a screen.

How do blue light glasses work?

Blue light glasses are designed to specifically filter out blue light which makes it how they got their name. The idea behind this is that overexposure to blue light from screens can increase eye strain, headaches, and even the risk of eye disease. Also, the blue light that is emitted from screens such as phones, tablets, or computers can have a big effect on sleep and overall wellbeing. Knowing this it would seem logical to block out or filter some of this harmful light.

Should I use blue light glasses?

There is no harm in trying out blue light glasses. The beautiful thing about them is that if they work then you can tell. If your eyes normally hurt after a hard day of staring at a screen and then they hurt less with blue light glasses then there is your answer. What is also good about blue light glasses is that they can serve as a physical reminder to keep up with your eye health and take various breaks from staring at the screen. All in all, there is almost no harm that can be done with trying these glasses in most cases.
