What do blue light glasses do?
26.02.23
In today's world, it is common to spend long hours looking at screens, whether it is for work or leisure. With the increase in screen time, there has been a rise in concerns about the potential harm of blue light emitted from screens. This has led to the popularity of blue light glasses, which claim to protect our eyes from the harmful effects of blue light. But what do blue light glasses really do, and are they effective? Let's explore the topic in more detail.
What is blue light?
Blue light is a type of visible light that has a short wavelength and high energy. It is present in sunlight and electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and LED lights. Exposure to blue light in the evening can disrupt our sleep cycle as it suppresses the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep. However, there is also growing concern about the long-term effects of blue light exposure on our eyes.
How do blue light glasses work?
Blue light glasses are designed to block or filter out blue light. They have special lenses that can reduce the amount of blue light that enters our eyes. Some glasses use a special coating on the lenses, while others use a specific type of lens material that can block or filter out blue light. Baxter Blue have a range of blue light glasses that Blue+ ™ technology goes deeper. Unlike our competitors, our blue light filter is not a surface layer or coating and have a blue light pigment technology embedded right into the lens, filtering out as much as 80% of the highest energy wavelengths known to cause digital-eye-strain.
Do blue light glasses really work?
While there is some evidence to suggest that blue light glasses can be effective in reducing eye strain and improving sleep, the research on the long-term effects of blue light on eye health is still inconclusive. Some studies have shown that blue light exposure can contribute to the development of digital eye strain, which can cause symptoms such as headaches, dry eyes, and blurred vision.
Should you wear blue light glasses?
If you spend a lot of time in front of screens, you may want to consider wearing blue light glasses to reduce eye strain and improve your sleep. However, it is important to note that blue light glasses are not a substitute for other healthy habits such as taking breaks from screens, practicing good posture, and maintaining proper lighting.
If you have existing eye problems or concerns about blue light exposure, it is recommended that you speak with an eye doctor to get personalised advice.
In summary, blue light glasses are designed to reduce the amount of blue light that enters our eyes, which can help reduce eye strain and improve sleep. While there is still ongoing research into the long-term effects of blue light on our eyes, blue light glasses can be a helpful tool for those who spend long hours in front of screens. However, it is important to practice other healthy habits in addition to wearing blue light glasses to ensure optimal eye health.
