Blocking blue light as a family.

With the increasing use of laptops, mobile devices and tablets, keeping eyes healthy has become increasingly more important for adults and, especially, children.

Blue light glasses help by blocking or filtering out high frequency blue light given off by screens and reduces digital eye strain. You can wear blue light glasses with the knowledge you’re protecting your eyes from glare and reduce potential damage from prolonged screen time. Blue light is emitted from mobiles, tablet devices, computers, some light bulbs and, naturally, sunlight and excessive exposure may be potentially damaging to the retina leading to vision impairment.

Nearly 100% of blue light rays reach the retina, as compared to less than 1% of UV rays. Sanela Pauc.
