Benefits of Blue Light Glasses with Antireflection Properties

Blue light is a highly energetic component of the electromagnetic spectrum with a wavelength ranging from 420 to 480 nanometers. The powerful energy is present in digital devices and the rays of the sun. It is potentially harmful to your eyes and puts you at risk of developing cataracts and eye cancer.

 

How Blue Light Affects the Eyes

According to ongoing research, exposure to blue light can lead to a variety of eye problems. These include:

 

• Digital eyestrain or computer vision syndrome (CVS) from many hours of looking at digital screens. Overexposure to this form of blue light causes headaches, watery eyes, eyestrain, and fatigue

• Retinal damage: It can stem from exposure to the sun. It can lead to AMD (age-related macular degeneration) or retinal damage that results in blindness
  
   

Blue Light Glasses

Blue light eyeglasses contain filters that waves of blue light from the sun and electric bulbs. They reduce the intensity of ultraviolet and light-emitting diodes that damage the retina. Thus, fewer harmful waves reach your eyes.

Antireflective coatings make your prescription spectacles easier to clean. Its properties prevent dirt, water, and oil from sticking to the lenses.

Combining these properties with those in blue light glasses, you can expect to experience the following:

 

Better Sleep

Spending many hours in front of a screen can negatively affect your sleeping patterns. The high frequency of the light increases your alertness. They delay the release of melatonin, the sleep-inducing hormone. Doctors recommend avoiding using digital devices for at least two hours before going to bed.
