Why Blue Light Glasses Are Important?

 


Choosing blue light filter glasses helps prevent eye strain caused by mobile phones, computers, or tablets and improves our circadian system's functioning.

 

What is Blue Light?

There are two types of blue light: turquoise light and blue-violet light.

Blue light is harmful to our eyes and is, therefore, the most exposed light every day.

This light is in the electronic devices we use every day: cell phones, computers, tablets and others. So it's everywhere.

Blue-purple light also inhibits our production of the hormone melatonin, which is responsible for triggering our sleep.

 

Blue Light Filter Glasses (Blue Light Lenses)

It is essential to wear blue light filter glasses even if you do not have a problem with your eyes. The effects of prolonged exposure to this light can be lead to blurred vision and persistent headaches.

For this reason, more and more healthcare professionals are recommending protecting the eyes from harmful rays. Today there are spectacle lenses with blue light protection technology.

This type of lens is also known as Blue Light. It filters harmful purple-blue light into our eyes and prevents it from reaching our retina. These lenses block harmful light (blue-violet light) and allow only blue light that is beneficial for vision (turquoise light) to pass through. Thus, our image is not distorted, and we can see better.


The Main Benefits of Glasses with Blue Filter Lenses Are:

  • Reduced eye strain;
  • Improvement in sleep quality;
  • Reducing or even eliminating severe headaches caused by overexposure to digital displays;
  • Enhanced melatonin production (a hormone that regulates sleep);
  • Long-term preservation of the retina helps prevent diseases such as cataracts or macular degeneration.

 

Reasons to Have Blue Light Glasses

More Comfort to See

We spend a lot of time in front of digital screens, so it's normal for our eyes to be more tired from exposure to harmful blue light during the day.

Ideal for Children

Technology is increasingly becoming a part of children's routine.

Approximately 69% of children and adolescents between the ages of 9 and 17 use the internet more than once a day. So, communication with the screens of smartphones and computers is becoming more and more common.

This is why blue light filter lenses become an excellent option for lenses. It helps protect the eyes from the harmful rays of blue light, preventing possible diseases in children's long-term vision.

Improves Sleep Quality

Studies show that workers who have windows in the workplace and are more exposed to sunlight have healthier sleep habits and better peace of mind than those who spend most of the day indoors.

And that's because sun exposure helps balance our circadian cycle. So, it's in the balance of our sleep cycle. Also, natural blue light increases serotonin production, the hormone responsible for our health, happiness and appetite.
