No matter if you wear prescription lenses for better eyesight or if you want to mix things up with a cool pair of eyewear, popping on some blue light glasses could be just what your eye health and outfit needs. “Blue light blocking glasses filter out a range of blue light wavelengths and can reduce light sensitivity and glare from digital devices to help alleviate eye strain,” explains Jennifer Tsai, O.D., a board-certified optometrist and founding partner/medical director of eyecare practice Line of Sight.
Blocking out this particular wavelength of light is important for more than preventing uncomfortable symptoms of screentime-induced eyestrain such as headache, blurred vision and dry eye. That’s because blue light is known to disrupt natural circadian rhythms by messing with the release of melatonin, the hormone that helps us drift off. So, for those who scroll close to bedtime, a pair of blue-light-blocking glasses may serve as a natural sleep aid of sorts.
