Blue Light Glasses: A Must-Have for the Digital Generation


Screens and digital devices have become an integral part of our lives. On average, Americans spend over 7 hours a day in front of screens, whether on computers, smartphones, tablets, or televisions. The Eye Guys offer specially designed computer glasses to help combat the effects of prolonged screen time, protecting your vision and keeping you comfortable while you work or play in the digital world.

The Impact of Blue Light on Your Vision

Blue light is a high-energy visible (HEV) light emitted by digital screens, LED lighting, and even the sun. While blue light during daylight hours helps regulate our sleep-wake cycle, too much exposure—especially from screens—can have negative effects on your eyes.

Blue light penetrates deep into the eye, and excessive exposure can lead to issues like digital eye strain (also known as computer vision syndrome).

What Is Digital Eye Strain?

Digital eye strain refers to the discomfort and vision problems that arise from prolonged use of digital screens. Some common symptoms include:

  • Eye fatigue and soreness
  • Dry eyes and irritation
  • Blurry vision after extended screen use
  • Headaches and difficulty focusing
  • Neck and shoulder pain due to improper posture

These symptoms can occur after just a few hours of screen use and can affect your productivity, comfort, and overall well-being.

How Computer Glasses Can Help

Computer glasses help alleviate the strain that digital screens place on your eyes. Here’s how they work:

  1. Blue Light Blocking Technology: Computer glasses filter out a portion of blue light, reducing its impact on your eyes.
  2. Anti-reflective Coatings: Computer glasses often come with anti-reflective coatings that reduce glare, making it easier to see your screen clearly.
  3. Optimized Lens Power: These glasses often feature an intermediate lens power tailored for the distance between your eyes and your screen, helping reduce the effort your eyes need to focus.
