What are blue light glasses?

Blue light glasses are glasses which are designed to block or reduce the amount of blue light emitted from digital screens. They do this by applying a filter or coating to the lens. At Oscar Wylee our BLULite Filter helps block artificial blue light produced from digital devices.

How does blue light impact you?

Prolonged exposure to artificial blue light emitted from devices such as a computer or phone screen may disrupt your natural sleep cycle by blocking melatonin production. Extended periods of screen time can also cause eye discomfort known as digital eye strain.

Do you need blue light glasses?

With busy lifestyles, some of us may not be able to get away from our laptops and phones before bedtime. Extended periods of screen time can also cause eye discomfort known as digital eye strain. Glasses with an added blue light filter may help to reduce the blue light affecting you from your digital devices and ease any digital eye strain.

What is Blue Light?

Blue light is found in the electromagnetic energy spectrum and is emitted from the sun. This is known as natural blue light. Artificial blue light is produced by screens and LED light bulbs which can affect your sleep and cause eye strain.

Blue light occurs naturally from the sun and your body uses it to help regulate its sleep-wake cycle. It does so by producing a hormone called melatonin at night in the absence of naturally occurring light.

The Wavelength of Blue Light

The blue light spectrum has short waves, between a 380 and 500-nanometre range. Longer waves include things like microwaves, radio waves and ultraviolet waves.

Do blue light glasses work?

While blue light glasses are effective in blocking blue light emitted from screens, it is still early in the research to determine the effectiveness of these filters and whether they are protecting your eyes from damage.

There are also many related vision problems caused by lengthy screen time that can instead fall under a term called Computer Vision Syndrome.

What are Additional Ways to Reduce or Prevent Eye Strain and Computer Vision Syndrome?

Blue light glasses are just one way to possibly prevent the discomfort and symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome.

Other ways include:

Taking frequent breaks from screens to rest your eyes
Blinking often to moisten your eyes
Limiting your screen time where possible
Enlarging the text on your screen for easier reading
Using eye drops to refresh your eyes
Turning on the blue light filter on your iPhone or Android.

What are the Different Types of Blue Light Glasses?

The different types of blue light glasses can include gaming glasses, computer glasses, clear blue light glasses and kids blue light glasses. At Oscar Wylee, a blue light filter can be added on top of other lens options to suit your lifestyle, turning a standard pair of glasses into a specific type such as gaming or computer.

Gaming glasses: Gaming glasses are designed to help gamers' eyes and often have lenses with a blue light filter, anti-reflective coating and a small amount of magnification to prevent squinting.
Computer glasses: Computer glasses are glasses that often include an intermediate prescription to help you see a computer screen more clearly .They often will have an anti-reflective coating applied to them as well as having a blue light filter to help further reduce potential eye strain induced by the blue light.
Clear blue light glasses: Some blue light glasses can have an amber tint added to the lenses which offers an extra buffer against blue light. At Oscar Wylee we provide clear blue light glasses that have no colour tint, only the blue light filter.
Kid’s blue light glasses: At Oscar Wylee we have a Kids Collection with small and extra small frames to fit children which can be fitted with lenses containing a blue light filter. With exposure to digital devices at younger ages, it is important that kids are protected from artificial blue light.
