Blue light glasses are the glasses we didn\u2019t know we needed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When many people\u2019s 9 to 5 revolves around staring at a computer screen for 40 hours a week, it\u2019s no surprise that our eyes often become strained and more tired than usual. This is just one of the many reasons why we decided to design and make custom eyewear including blue light glasses. Let\u2019s take a look at why blue light glasses are more than just a stylish look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is Blue Light?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Remember learning about the visible light spectrum in middle school? For some of us, that might\u2019ve been a while ago, so here\u2019s a quick refresher course. The visible light spectrum ranges from blue to red with UV light on the far left of the spectrum and infra-red light on the far right. Blue light sits next to UV light and is referred to as High Energy Visible (HEV) light. It has the shortest wavelength and the most energy on the visible spectrum, making it both visible and very harmful. Long story short, both the sun and digital devices emit this HEV light and can potentially harm the body in a number of ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dangers of Blue Light<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In this day and age, people seem to spend more and more time on their phones, computers, and TVs. Most start the day by waking up, checking text messages, and scrolling through social media on their phones. Then off to work where a majority of the day is spent on a computer either at the office or working remotely checking emails and doing projects. After hours of looking at a digital screen, people arrive at home exhausted, only to relax by watching TV or reading on a tablet. It\u2019s nearly impossible to get through a daily routine without looking at some screen at one point or another. All this screen time can cause eye strain, headaches, and trouble sleeping\u2014not to mention discomfort, short-term pain, and potentially even serious, long-term damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flashback to that refresher course and learning about the anatomy of an eye in middle school. For those of you who can\u2019t recall, there are these light-sensitive cells in the eye\u2019s retina. Long periods of time spent on digital devices will damage these cells and will cause your eyes to feel dry, heavy, and tired. With all that eye pain comes the headaches and sleepless nights. Blue light causes the body to be alert and suppresses the body\u2019s ability to produce melatonin. This is a problem since melatonin is the hormone used to regulate your perfect sleep-wake cycle. Ultimately, the body\u2019s circadian rhythm will be all out of sorts and you can say goodbye to waking up rejuvenated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
