Blue light glasses

Blue light is part of the visible light spectrum that the human eye can see, better known as colours. Different colours give off different energy and are known to affect us in different ways. Blue light is the most energetic radiation, known to increase people's attention, reaction time and mood. About a third of all visible light falls into the category of high-visibility light, which is what we call "blue light" - in other words, it's not just the colour blue, per se, but also all other shades of blue, such as indigo, purple and turquoise.

Sunlight is an important source of natural blue light that we humans need to keep us awake - it helps us control our circadian rhythm. On the other hand, and as a result of the digital age, our exposure to blue light has increased dramatically, and this means that we are overexposed to blue light. In short, we are being exposed to more than is natural and healthy for our eyes and brains. Fortunately, we are becoming increasingly aware of the way our digital screens are negatively affecting us. This means we are now ready to prioritise our health needs.

It is recommended to reduce the number of hours in front of the screen, especially in the evening and at night. It is also useful to adjust the settings of your digital devices to change their colour display during the late hours so that they emit less blue light during the period you want. Reducing screen time isn't the easiest thing to do, however, and that's why many people opt for anti blue light glasses instead. It's an easy and inexpensive way to protect your eyes and body from the negative effects of blue light radiation, even recommended by Harvard researchers. They state that anti blue light glasses have beneficial health effects, such as improved sleep cycle and sleep quality, better focus and reduced headaches.

Our eyes are exposed daily to harmful blue light from the screens of computers, tablets, smartphones and TVs. In fact, most of us spend more than 8 hours a day on different screens - and our eyes can't protect themselves from that. Blue light glasses - often called screen glasses, blue light glasses, or computer glasses - protect your eyes from the blue light and you will quickly feel the effect after a long day in front of the computer and on the phone.

Screen glasses with blue light filters have become extremely popular over the past few years, and there is a very good reason for that. More and more people are realising that they are pushing their eyes to the limit when they sit in front of a screen in the office for most of the day, while increasing screen time in the evening on the phone, iPad or in front of the TV. The many hours of screen time that most of us have every day has a negative effect on our eyes. Many people experience dry eyes, poor sleep or headaches. All problems that can be linked to the intense exposure from blue light.

You can do wonders for your health just by wearing blue light computer glasses when using digital screens. Anti-blue light glasses are available both with and without lens strength - so even if you don't need reading glasses you can still protect your eyes from blue light without a prescription lens. Healthier body routines are established due to the positive effects of improved sleep, fewer headaches, reduced eye strain leading to a greater well-being!

At Luxreaders, we've worked tirelessly to reconcile the positive effects of blue light glasses on your eyes with a wide selection of frames and styles that are both high quality and great looking. Luckily, we've managed to create a wide range of models and collections of screen glasses that allow you to look stylish while sitting in front of the screen. Plus, we've worked hard to keep the weight of the glasses down, so you can wear them for hours at a time without the frame feeling heavy or bothering you.

Longterm blue light exposure, especially at night, has detrimental effects on our light-sensitive cells since it penetrates and damages the retina with excessive exposure. That is why the lenses in reading glasses are coated with a filter that block and absorb the blue light sent from your screens. Our anti blue light glasses filter approximately 30% of the blue light given from digital screens to protect your eyes from glare. We understand it's difficult to cut screen time - that's why we've made an affordable solution with our blue light blocking glasses.

In short, blue light glasses are useful for anyone who spends more than 1 hour in front of a screen every day, whether children or adults. The glasses are not just for people who already use prescription glasses. At Luxreaders, you can find blue light glasses with no power and up to power +3.5. This means that both children and adults can use our blue light glasses. If your child does not currently need blue light glasses with power, they still have the option of using the protective glasses when playing on the computer, ipad or mobile phone, so their eyes are less exposed to the blue light they are exposed to during everyday life.
