Blue Light Filter Glasses
Harmful Effects Of Blue Light
-
Disrupts sleep patterns
-
Can cause blurry vision, dry eyes and headaches
-
May cause damage that can cause changes similar to molecular degeneration and can can lead to vision deterioration.
Protective Blue light lenses have a special Opthalmic protective coating designed to reflect and cut blue light penetration.
Sources of harmful blue light include some electronic devices such as computers, tablets, smart phones, TVs, fluorescent lighting/LED lighting and the sun.
Ideal for indoor office use and in low light or at night.
Studies suggest that 60% of people spend more than 6 hours a day in front of a digital device.
Protect your eyes, and the eyes of those you love, with Blue Light Filter Glasses.
Available in six different colours – black, white, pink, blue, grey and red – and in three different sizes – Children’s (3 – 7 years), Tweenies (7 – 16 years) and Adults (16 years plus).
A recent study*showed that wearing a lens treated with a blue-light filter coating helped reduce symptoms of eyestrain by half during prolonged computer exposure. 2.42 symptoms before versus 1.47 symptoms with blue coating (P=0.04).
After wearing a lens treated with a blue-light filter coating, subjects with symptoms of eyestrain due to prolonged computer exposure felt a significant improvement of the following symptoms: dry eyes, sticky eyes, and the feeling of grittiness or “sand” in the eye.
They also reported a trend of the overall vision and improved visual performances in situations of low contrast.

Statistics for the Kids Collection
– Children are at particular risk for eyestrain due to their increased use of digital devices.
– Children and teens from ages (8-18 years) spend an average of 7 hours a day
on electronic devisces such as tablets, smart phones, e-readers and videogames.
– Until the age of 10 years, children´s eyes are not fully developed. The
crystalline lens and cornea are still largely transparent and overexposed to light, so too much exposure to blue light can be harmful and cause future eye damage.
