Beginning to notice a change in your eyes? Are they aching or causing the world around you to seem blurry at times? If these problems sound a lot like you, it is probably due to the blue light you face every day.
These symptoms may feel like enough to urge you to take a break from blue light altogether but as you know, technology is a necessity these days. However, there is still a way to take it easy on your eyes and meet all your technological needs. This solution comes in the convenient form of blue-light-blocking glasses.
If blue light glasses are a new concept to you, you may find yourself skeptical of their effectiveness. You may also be wondering if they work or how well they do. If this appears to be you, you've come to the right place.
The answers to these questions and more are right below.
Five Benefits of Blue Light Glasses
The benefits of blue light glasses are as follows:
Improves sleep quality
Can prevent or slow down age-related eye issues
Decrease daily eye strain
Relieve eye fatigue
Improves eye functionality and performance
Now, let’s dive deeper into why blue light is harmful and how blue light glasses can help.
Why Is Blue Light So Bad?
Blue light is just one of many shades emitted from the visible light spectrum. The sun releases natural blue light all day, but blue light is more commonly found inside your phone, televisions, laptop, etc.
When condensed down to your screens, blue light is capable of penetrating your corneas and going straight into your retinas. This part of the eye contains light-sensitive cells that are affected and potentially damaged by strong blue light exposure. Persistent exposure to blue light similar to the amount we receive from our phones can cause migraines, eye strain, eye floaters, and other common eye issues.
Blue light is also known to damage sleeping patterns by throwing off your natural circadian rhythm and preventing melatonin release at bedtime. This can impact your quality of sleep and increase symptoms of anxiety.
How will Blue-Light-Blocking Glasses Help?
Light sensitivity glasses contain many benefits, including solutions to the issues listed above. Benefits like this are due to their unique lenses.
Unlike regular glasses lenses, blue-light-blocking lenses were designed with the intent to block blue light from reaching the eyes. Usually through the use of slight yellow tints.
When this happens, your eyes will not have to face the side effects of blue light exposure. Overall, the decrease in blue light has been proven to create healthier eyes. Reduced eye trouble also allows you to use your device for longer periods without facing the consequences; a perfect solution for busy days.
The best way to determine the effectiveness of these glasses is by purchasing a pair of your own and making it a daily practice to wear blue light glasses. The results you experience will not lie.
