Blue Light Blocking Glasses:

 

Protect Your Eyes in a Digital World

In today’s screen-filled world, most of us spend hours staring at phones, laptops, and TVs. While technology keeps us connected, it also exposes our eyes to blue light, a high-energy visible (HEV) light that can cause discomfort and long-term eye health concerns. Enter blue light blocking glasses—a simple solution to protect your eyes and improve your daily comfort.

 

At Avenn Optics, we offer blue light blocking as an add-on for our prescription lenses, helping you stay protected whether you’re working, reading, or browsing. Here’s everything you need to know about blue light blocking glasses and why they’re a game-changer.

 

What Is Blue Light, and Why Should You Care? Blue light is a part of the visible light spectrum, emitted by digital screens, LED lights, and even the sun. While natural blue light from sunlight helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle, excessive exposure from screens can lead to:

 

• - Digital Eye Strain: Symptoms like dry eyes, blurred vision, headaches, and neck pain, often called computer vision syndrome.
• - Sleep Disruption: Blue light suppresses melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep after late-night screen time.
• - Potential Long Term Risks: Some studies suggest prolonged exposure may contribute to retinal damage over time, though more research is needed.

 

With people spending an average of 6 - 7 hours daily on digital devices (based on global digital usage trends), blue light blocking glasses are becoming a must-have for eye comfort and health. 

 

How Do Blue Light Blocking Glasses Work? 

 

Blue light blocking glasses

have special coatings or filters that reduce the amount of blue light reaching your eyes. These lenses:

 

• - Filter Blue Light: They block or absorb a portion of blue light (typically 20-40%) while allowing beneficial light to pass through.
• - Reduce Glare: Many include anti-reflective coatings to minimise screen glare, easing eye strain.
• - Enhance Comfort: By reducing blue light exposure, they help alleviate symptoms like tired eyes and headaches.

 

At Avenn Optics, our blue light blocking add-on is available with all our prescription lenses—distance, reading, and progressive—in both 1.56 standard lenses and 1.67 high-index lenses for stronger prescriptions.Who Needs Blue Light Blocking Glasses?

 

Blue light blocking glasses are ideal for anyone who:

 

• - Spends 2+ hours daily on screens (e.g., office workers, students, gamers, or social media enthusiasts).
• - Experiences eye strain, headaches, or blurred vision after screen time.
• - Struggles with falling asleep after using devices at night.
• - Wants to protect their eyes proactively, especially if they already wear prescription glasses.

 

Whether you’re a professional glued to a laptop, a bookworm using an e-reader, or someone who needs all-distance vision, our blue light blocking add-on can be paired with your prescription for seamless protection.
