We all love having the power that our phones and computers provide us. With just a push of a button we can listen to our music, watch our favorite movies, look at the news, shop, and even get in touch with our loved ones across the globe!
As you stare at a screen, have you ever noticed your eyes get tired, dry, and your head starts to hurt? Did you know that these devices emit blue light that causes eye strain and even messes with your sleeping patterns?!
What is blue light?
Ok let’s get geeky, blue light is part of the visible light spectrum with high-energy, this is good during the day as it contributes to alertness but when we are overexposed to it, it causes eye strain and eye fatigue and messes with our sleeping cycle
In the age of technology we are all surrounded by blue light. Things such as the sun in the daylight, LED lights in our homes, and in our smart devices!
What are blue light glasses ?Why blue light glasses?
Blue light glasses help filter out some of that harmful blue light, alleviating some of the eye strain. Everyone would benefit from blue light glasses but people who would benefit from these glasses the most are computer users, heavy phone users, and people exposed to bright lights for most of the day.
*I am a certified optician and can recommend these glasses, be aware that some glasses filter out more blue light than others, but please make sure to contact your doctor with any questions an concerns relating your vision
