Nowadays, screens are everywhere and are almost omnipresent in our daily lives.
This is why it's essential to protect our eyes from the blue light emitted by smartphones, tablets or computers.
Here's why blue light can strain your eyes and the right eyeglasses to wear in front of screens.
It's important to know that tablet, computer and smartphone screens emit blue light.
This special kind of light is part of the light spectrum and is not inherently noxious.
Blue light can become eye straining when exposure to screens is prolonged or too regular.
In such cases, eyes get tired from having to adapt constantly to this special light.
As a consequence, you scrub them more often and they can turn red and irritated.
Sleep disruption is also a collateral damage from the long exposure to this blue light.
However, this eyestrain can be prevented by wearing the right pair of eyeglasses while in front of screens.
Specific eyeglasses have been developed to protect your eyes from blue light and its potential consequences.
Blue-light-blocking computer glasses are the right pairs to wear in front of screens.
Their lenses are fitted with a blue light filter that reduces the entrance of harmful rays in your eyes.
This filter comes between the eye and the screen and only lets through the harmless turquoise rays.
These pairs of eyeglasses can offer relief and help reduce eye strain due to screens.
Anti-blue light glasses are highly recommended to people often facing screens for professional or leisure purposes.
Your Optical Center optician will guide you in the choice of the right glasses with filtering lenses to wear in front of screens.
