5 excellent glasses for an effortless work from home style

Let’s address the elephant in the room, shall we? Given the new lockdown 3.0, many of us find ourselves working from home. While we managed to master turning on and off the mute button for group video calls, we might need some work in dressing for the WFH.

Now, we know that not a lot of us have enough experience in working from home prior to the coronavirus pandemic. So much so that we didn’t even know how and how to prepare ourselves to adapt to this new working situation. But, of course, it’s been a learning process and a daily experiment.

Getting dressed for work from home is another thing, but protecting your eyes while working for hours and hours on the screen is quite a challenge.

Preparing our eyes for Work from Home

Work from home requires one significant essential - blue light glasses. Prolonged exposure to blue light isn’t healthy for our eyes.

What is blue light?

Blue light is a short wavelength but high energy ray. Not all blue light is a bad thing. The blue light rays coming from the sun helps to boost alertness, improve memory and cognitive function and elevates our mood.

But the artificial blue light - coming from digital devices like smartphones, computers, laptops and others result in severe eye condition and discomfort. Yes, that’s right. If you work for more than 5 or 6 hours every day on your screen, the eyes are overexposed and bombarded with rays that it can’t reflect.

As helpless as our eyes are, blue light absorption never stops until you shut down your device and take a break. Many WFH employees have confessed to experiencing various eye problems like eye-strain, headache, blurry vision, dry-eyes and burning sensation quite often. Experiencing such discomfort everyday deteriorates our eye health and reduces our productivity.

What’s the solution?

We can either throw away all our digital devices or try to adapt to this digital world using blue light glasses. We can’t possibly get rid of our laptops (FIRED!) or our smartphones since our work and personal life is so well integrated with these devices. The absolute solution - Blue light glasses.

Blue light glasses include an advanced blue light filter that works by reflecting blue light away and securing our eye health from all possible digital threats. These glasses are specially designed to eliminate all eye problems caused by the overuse of digital screens. And also return our natural sleeping habit. For all those who are unaware of the repercussion of blue light on our sleep, it’s time you take immediate action. Blue light not only impacts our eyes, but it also disrupts our sleeping habit. These light rays entering our body suppress the release of the sleep-inducing hormone, melatonin that’s responsible for our natural sleep/wake cycle.

As a result, our brain gets manipulated into thinking that it’s daylight and makes us feel alert and awake. So what we often think would only take about 5 minutes on our smartphone or laptop, goes on for 3 to 4 hours of screen time at night. That’s where blue light glasses work as a saviour - blocking the blue light for improved sleep quality.
