What are blue light glasses?
Blue light glasses come with a special coating in the lens which filters harmful blue light from digital screens, including computers, smartphones, and TVs. Blue light is a form of high-energy visible light, or HEV, which falls within the visible light spectrum at wavelengths of 380-500 nanometers. The primary source of blue light is the sun but artificial sources like digital screens also emit blue light. Blue light helps in regulating our circadian rhythm by keeping us active during the day. However. exposure to blue light during the night may negatively impact your sleep pattern. Blue light glasses help reduce eye strain from these digital screens.
How do #1 X-Blue Light glasses work?
Blue light glasses work on a special lens technology that allows them to filter blue light from entering your eyes. There are different sources of blue light. Natural blue light coming from the sun is important for your eyes during the day as it keeps you active. However, the major problem is with blue light emitted from artificial sources like digital screens.
Blue light glasses are designed to filter blue light exposure, particularly in the 400 to 455 nanometer range. This is the range where most of the artificial short-wavelength blue light vibrates and as a result, you get eye strain. It helps reduce eye strain caused by digital screens.
The benefits of blue light glasses
Blue light glasses have multiple benefits and it becomes even more crucial for those who spend a significant part of their day working on digital screens. They don t just help reduce digital eye strain but also help us improve our sleep pattern and quality by preventing melatonin suppression.
As a result, it can prevent you from conditions that can affect your sleep-wake cycle like insomnia and delayed sleep phase disorder along with problems that might be a result of sleep irregularity like bipolar disorder.
The Future of Blue Light Protection
Recommended Frames for X Blue Lenses
Standard Lenses Vs X-Blue Reflective Lenses
While most blue-light lenses in the market use blue-light filter coating on the surface of the lens, we take it a step forward with our innovative technology. Our X-Blue lenses use a blue-light filter in the monomer of the lens which makes it more effective. Simultaneously, it also avoids any yellowish or greenish tint that you see in standard blue light lenses and gives you a clear and more relaxed viewing experience.

Are blue light glasses really helpful?
In today s digital age, you can t limit your screen use as it has become a crucial part of our lives. Whether it s for work, entertainment, or just staying connected with each other, we have to use digital screens at every step of our life. Here is how blue light glasses help you in your daily life.
Eye Strain
Eye strain is a very common problem for people who work on digital screens. Overexposure to blue light is one of the common reasons behind eye strain and that s why it s recommended to use computer glasses with blue light lenses while using a computer, phone, or any other digital device. However, you ll need to combine it with other healthy habits like using the 20-20-20 rule to get the best relief from digital eye strain.
Sleep Cycle
Natural blue light during the day sends your brain the signal that it s daytime and keeps you active. But artificial blue light during the nighttime fools the brain into thinking that it s still daytime and suppresses the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. As a result, it disturbs your natural sleep-wake cycle. Blue light glasses filter artificial blue light and help you maintain your sleep- wake cycle by preventing the suppression of melatonin.

FAQs
I don’t have a prescription, do I still need glasses that block blue light?
Everyone who uses smartphones, tablets or laptops in the modern age needs protection against harmful blue light- whether you have a prescription or not.
Do blue light glasses work?
Blue light glasses have lenses that are treated to block most of the blue light from reaching your eyes. Since the anterior parts of our eyes are not good at blocking blue light, they reach the retina and can harm it. Blue light glasses can help prevent that.
Do blue light-blocking glasses have a UV protection coating?
Not all blue light-blocking glasses have UV protection coating. However, with every pair of glasses from Specscart including those with digital blue lenses, you get free anti-glare, anti-UV, anti-scratch, and impact-resistant coatings.
How much do blue light glasses cost?
You can add digital blue light lenses to any of your favourite frames for an additional £15 for non-prescription glasses and £25 for prescription ones.
Can I choose blue light lenses with all Specscart glasses?
Yes, you can select our X-Blue lenses also known as digital blue lenses with any frame of your choice.
Does blue light trigger migraines?
Researchers and clinical studies have suggested that there is a link between migraines and blue light exposure. It has been found that blue light wavelengths can intensify migraine headaches. However, more research is needed to reach a conclusion as of now.
Do X-Blue lenses appear clear or have they got tint on them?
X-Blue lenses are absolutely crystal clear. Our lenses use advanced technology and include blue-light filtering technology in the monomer of the lens to offer you a crystal clear view while filtering the harmful blue light.
Do blue light glasses help with headaches and eye strain?
Blue light glasses help you from eye strain and headaches caused by blue-light exposure from digital screens.
Can I wear blue light glasses all the time?
Yes, they are meant to be used just like any other eyewear. You can wear blue light glasses when working on screens and wear them all day if you have been prescribed corrective lenses by an optician.
Are blue light-blocking glasses safe?
Absolutely, blue light-blocking glasses provide safety against digital screens. They are safe to wear and go a long way in keeping your eyes relaxed.
Are computer glasses and blue light glasses the same?
Well, it depends on how you talk about it. Computer glasses and blue light glasses exist for the same purpose, that is, to protect against harmful blue light emitted from screens. Computer glasses usually use tinted lenses without any prescription to protect your eyes from digital eye strain. Blue light glasses can come with single-vision lenses, varifocal lenses, or non-prescription ones.
Do I need a prescription for computer glasses?
Prescriptions are only meant to correct refractive errors. If you had an eye check recently and weren’t prescribed lenses by the optician, you won’t need prescription glasses. You can simply get a pair of non-prescriptive blue light glasses in that case.
Can computer glasses damage your eyes?
No, they absolutely do not. In fact, computer glasses exist so that you can work or play on the computer unhindered by the harmful blue light emanating from it.
Which blue light-blocking glasses should you use when using a computer?
If you need vision correction, whether single vision or varifocal, we suggest having a coating of ‘digital blue light protection’ on your regular prescription pair. Otherwise, you should use a pair of non-prescription ones with the same coating when using a computer. Anti-glare lenses can be a great addition as they protect your eyes against harsh glare from the screen. The good news is that all our lenses come with anti-glare, anti-UV, anti-scratch, and impact-resistant coatings for free.
Do blue light glasses help with TV?
Yes! Blue light glasses are meant to protect your eyes against all sorts of digital devices - including TVs, smartwatches, gaming consoles, etc.
