In our increasingly digital world, we spend more time than ever in front of screens, from computers to smartphones and tablets. While these devices have transformed the way we work and play, they also bring a potential downside: digital eye strain. This is where blue light blocking glasses, come to the rescue. In this blog, we’ll explore why these glasses are a must-have for those who spend long hours in front of screens.
What is Digital Eye Strain?
Digital eye strain, often referred to as computer vision syndrome, is a common condition caused by prolonged screen time. It’s characterized by a range of symptoms, including:
Eye Fatigue: Tired, dry, or red eyes.
Headaches: Usually around the forehead and temples
Blurred Vision: Difficulty focusing on the screen
Sleep disturbances: Exposure to blue light can disrupt your sleep patterns.
Blue Light
Blue light is part of the visible light spectrum, and it’s emitted by digital screens, LED lighting, and the sun. While blue light during the day can be beneficial for mood and alertness, prolonged exposure, especially in the evening, can be harmful.
Blue light has a shorter wavelength and more energy than other visible light. This makes it scatter more easily and reduces contrast, leading to eye strain. Moreover, it disrupts the sleep-wake cycle by suppressing melatonin production.
