Computer Glasses
Our lives are increasingly dominated by digital equipment. Most of us are virtually glued to our devices or exposed to LCD/LED lighting, televisions, laptops, screens etc. Combine blue light radiation with screen glare and you have the leading causes of eyestrain. Blue light and eyestrain Due to the high-energy visible (HEV) artificial blue light emitted by these supposedly time-saving technologies, many of us suffer from headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision and eyestrain. But blue light is everywhere … Blue light itself isn’t a bad thing. It’s everywhere; it’s in sunlight. Blue light is short-wavelength light – at the high end of

Blue Control Glasses
Why do I need blue control glasses? Using your computer or smartphone for hours each day can have long-term effects on your vision. We use these devices at work, on the road and at home, often holding them at a short distance, so our eyes have to constantly refocus. Digital devices, LCD and LED screens, fluorescent and LED light globes emit blue light and protecting your eyes from this high-energy visible (HEV) light can significantly mitigate the risks of retinal degenerative diseases. Why is blue light harmful? It’s natural light, isn’t it? Blue light is a naturally occurring light. Its short, high-energy blue

Blue Control Lenses
Looking To The Future Stepping into sunlight, flicking on a light, turning on your computer, phone or other digital device, all these things cause your eyes to be exposed to visible, and invisible, light rays. Sunlight contains red, orange, yellow, green and blue light rays. Light moves as waves of different lengths: some are short with more energy, making bluer light, and some are long, with less energy, making redder light. As sunlight reaches our atmosphere, molecules in the air scatter the bluer light but let the red light pass through. We see the sky as blue because the shorter, smaller waves

Tired Eyes
Give It A Rest The muscles of the eye, just like any other muscle in the body, can tire from overuse. Any discomfort caused in your eyes by excessive wear and tear is collectively referred to as eye strain. In most cases, eye strain is not a serious medical condition and usually goes away once the eyes are given adequate rest. There are many possible causes of eye strain. Eye strain occurs when your eyes get tired from long hours of driving, reading, exposure to bright light or straining to see in dim light. Stress and fatigue are also significant risk

Blue Light Glasses
It has been reported that 63% of people don’t know that electronics emit HEV blue light. This blue light exposure may increase the risk of macular degeneration and contributes to digital eye strain. With the ever increasing use of LCD and LED computers and TV screens not only in our workplaces, but homes too, the need to take care of our eyes is becoming more necessary. Along with adults, many children regularly use computer tablets and smartphones which all emit blue light. Although blue light in itself occurs naturally, (it is present in daylight and helps us to stay awake)
