Blue Light Glasses
We use digital screens in our daily lives now more than ever before, which means we’re more exposed to increased levels of blue light. Our team at Missouri Eye Consultants can help protect your eyes from digital eye strain with blue light-blocking solutions to prevent uncomfortable over-exposure.
What is Blue Light?
Much like how the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays are harmful to our eyes, extended exposure to blue light can cause eye strain because it has higher energy levels than other visible light. Digital screens are a large source of this blue spectrum light, and while it isn’t harmful in moderation, excessive blue light can negatively impact your sleep cycle, leading to difficulty sleeping and restlessness.
Why Blue Light Protection Is Important?
While digital screens are an unavoidable part of everyday life in this day and age, blue light overexposure doesn’t have to be! Over time, excessive exposure to blue light from screen time can damage your retina. Too much blue light, especially at the end of the day, can also disrupt normal sleep patterns. Blue light blocking technology is embedded into the lens of your prescription glasses. Some patients prefer to have a separate pair of dedicated glasses for computer use. This type of computer prescription will have blue light filtering, anti-reflective treatment, prism to aid in convergence demand, and a computer working distance focal length.
