The Benefits of Blue Light Glasses

No matter how hard we try.....these days we're all absolutely dependent on tablets and computers.  Remember when we used to restrict the kids to a certain amount of time a day on their tablet or computers?!?!  Well now that they are learning through them with school, the hours that they spend in front of the blue light is astronomical compared to before the pandemic hit!  A blue light glasses company called, Gaoye, reached out to me for a collaboration.  After doing a little research on the product and harmful effects of blue lights, I knew this was a product my family would use and stand by.  Not only are they a super cute accessory, but I feel better knowing my kids eyes are not being harmed by the blue light of their devices and TVs.    

What Are Blue-Light Glasses?

Blue light is found in cell phones, tablets, computers, some light bulbs and sunshine.  It can severely damage your retina, which could lead to vision impairment.  Blue-light glasses feature lenses that limit exposure to blue light.

There are quite a few benefits to wearing blue-light glasses:

They can relieve eye discomfort.

Excess device usage can lead to computer vision syndrome or digital eye strain. Glasses with blue light filtering technology can enhance your focus and reduce eye strain, resulting in making your eyes feel less tired and improving productivity. Another way to reduce eye strain is to make sure you take regular breaks from the screen.

Many believe people sleep better when they use blue-light blocking glasses.

Exposures to screen can negatively effect sleeping habits.  Blue light has a high energy frequency that can increase alertness.  Many say we should avoid using blue-light devices one to two hours before sleep. (As I lay here in bed....at 11:00pm...typing this blog...LOL)  This is where the blue light blocking glasses come in quite handy.  (And yes...I have mine on LOL)
