Blue Light Glasses

Blue light glasses, also known as blue light blocking glasses or computer glasses, are eyewear designed to filter out or block blue light emitted from digital screens and artificial lighting.

Blue light could contribute to poor sleep quality and some vision issues. Digital devices such as smartphones, computers, tablets, and LED screens emit blue, high-energy, short-wavelength light. Prolonged exposure to blue light, especially at close distances, can potentially lead to eye strain, visual discomfort, and sleep disturbances. Wearing special blue light-blocking glasses is one way to combat these possible effects. You can contact Engle Eyewear Inc. in Wilkes-Barre, PA, to buy blue-light glasses.

Filters Block Specific Wavelengths

Computer and smartphone screens tend to emit more light toward the blue end of the spectrum. The problem is that this blue wavelength is also a major component of sunshine, meaning your brain interprets blue light as daylight.

Blue light lenses contain a filter that blocks the blue light wavelengths when you look at a screen. This wavelength can be helpful if you're prone to using your phone before bed or working online. These glasses aren't harmful, so you're not losing anything by wearing them when you stare at your phone before bed.
