Blue Light-Blocking Glasses

Excessive computer use can lead to several eye and vision problems that impact your daily life. One such issue is called computer vision syndrome. Computer vision occurs when you spend extended periods looking at a digital device without blinking, leading to eye irritation and dryness. Fortunately, blue light-blocking glasses can help keep your eyes healthy and vision strong. Caroline Robison Optometry in Tehachapi and Ridgecrest, CA, is here to tell you about blue light and how blue light-blocking lenses help you maintain visual clarity and comfort.

Understanding Computer Vision and Blue Light

Computer vision is becoming increasingly prevalent in today’s modern world. This condition occurs when you stare at a computer screen or other digital device for extended periods. Doing so causes eye strain, irritation, dryness, headaches, and neck or shoulder pain. Digital screens also emit blue light, which tricks the brain into thinking it is daytime rather than nighttime. Too much blue light exposure can affect sleep and lead to severe eye conditions, such as macular degeneration and cataracts.

What Are Blue Light-Blocking Glasses?

Blue light-blocking glasses have lenses that filter blue and violet rays produced by the sun and electronic devices. Doing this helps you see clearly and comfortably when using a computer for extended hours. While you can get over-the-counter blue light-blocking glasses, prescription lenses from your optometrist will also correct your vision if you have a refractive error. Prescription blue light-blocking glasses may also be more effective than over-the-counter lenses. Your optometrist will assess your eye and vision health to determine the best lenses for your visual needs.
