What is Blue Light?

Unlike UV light, blue light is prevalent in our daily environment. It emanates from multiple sources such as the sun outdoors, indoor windows, and the screens of digital devices.

What Are the Benefits of Blue Light Glasses?

The purpose of blue light glasses is to help alleviate eye strain, fatigue, headaches, and disrupted sleep patterns due to extended periods of time in front of digital screens that emit a type of high-energy visible (HEV) light. By reducing the amount of blue light that enters your eyes, you potentially reduce eye strain and improve overall visual comfort.

How Do Blue Light Glasses Function?

Having discussed the advantages of blue light glasses, let's explore how they function. Do blue light glasses really work? These glasses have lenses that are coated with an almost invisible yellow tint, which blocks about 40% of blue-violet light. The coating is so discreet that you can wear these glasses all day without the tint being noticeable. However, if 40% filtration does not meet your needs, you might opt for lenses with a more pronounced yellow tint to achieve better blue-violet light blocking. It's important to note that while these lenses provide more effective filtration, their noticeable yellow color may not be suitable for everyday wear beyond computer use.

How Do Blue Light Glasses Work?

Blue light is a type of high-energy visible (HEV) light that is emitted by electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, tablets, and LED lights. It has a shorter wavelength and higher energy compared to other colors in the visible light spectrum. Our glasses are designed to reduce your exposure to this harmful artificial lighting and digital eye strain, helping you improve your overall health and vitality. SAV offers a variety of glasses tailored to meet your unique needs for day time screen use to alleviate eye strain, headaches, and migraines. Our science-backed blue light blocking glasses are also perfect for night time use, helping you maximize your melatonin production for a deep and restful sleep.

Is Blue Light Harmful?

Blue light itself is not inherently harmful, as it is a natural component of sunlight and plays a role in regulating our sleep-wake cycle and mood. The truth is, during the day blue light is present all around us. The sun is the biggest source of blue light. We need blue light to regulate our circadian rhythm and for the release of hormones. However, excessive exposure to artificial sources of blue light, particularly from digital screens such as smartphones, computers, and televisions, can have negative effects on our eyes and overall health.

Is Exposure To Natural levels of blue light during the day harmful?

Blue light exposure during the daytime boosts alertness, helps memory and cognitive function and elevates mood. It regulates a normal circadian rhythm – the circadian rhythm is the body’s natural wake and sleep cycle. If children do not receive enough sunlight, the growth and development of their eyes can be harmed. Unfortunately, nowadays our exposure to blue light has passed the healthy limit - thanks to bright LED lights, fluorescent lights, screens, and digital devices. The answer to the question ‘how do blue light glasses work,’ is that they reduce our exposure to excess levels of blue light and filter it down to the required natural levels (different amounts for day and night), this is achieved with special pigments embedded into lenses that target the exact harmful wavelengths of light that needs to be filtered or blocked.

What level of blue light protection is needed?

The level of protection depends on the filtering or reflection rate. A high percentage corresponds to better blue light filtration. The adequate rate is 80% filtration at 420 nm for optimal efficiency.
