How Does Blue Light Affect the Eyes?

The sun emits several colors, including yellow, orange, indigo, violet, and blue. Blue light usually has a short wavelength and hits the eyes at a very high frequency. Having a short wavelength, it penetrates through the eyes very easily. Blue light from the sun is not as harmful as the one emitted by digital devices. This light has the potential to damage cells in the retina, causing vision problems. 

How Do Blue Light Lenses Work?

Blue light lenses work by filtering blue light rays emitted by digital screens. They have a special coating that reflects a percentage of blue light from the eyes. The percentage of light reflected away depends on the type of lens you’re using.

Why You Should Wear Blue Light Lenses

Blue light lenses offer a lot of benefits, among them being preventing eye strain and headaches. Apart from protecting your vision, blue light lenses also promote proper sleep. When you use digital devices at night without these lenses, the blue light emitted stimulates the mind, making it hard to find sleep, and reduces sleeping duration. If you use the lenses, the light will be blocked, which helps you fall asleep faster and for longer duration.

Do You Need Prescription for Blue Light Lenses?

You need a blue light lenses prescription from an eye doctor to make sure they fit correctly. The doctor will also examine you and ask for information about your medical history, to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for wearing these lenses.
