Blue Light Blocking Glasses

Many people have probably heard of blue light blocking glasses but you might not be familiar with what these helpful glasses do. If you live in the Old Greenwich, CT, or Darien, CT, area, and need optometry services, our experienced and professional team at Greenwich Eye Care can help.

What Are Blue Light Blocking Glasses?

The premise and goal of blue light blocking glasses is to block certain light waves from getting through to your eyes, in this case, blue light. These glasses are designed with filters typically built into the lenses that act as a filter or shield.

How Can They Help

People who have studied the dangers and risk of blue light are most concerned about exposure at night. The main concern is the effect that blue light can have on sleep, potentially disrupting your sleep schedule and causing you to be tired in the morning.

If you use electronic devices with screens late at night, blue light blocking glasses may help prevent the use of these devices from adversely affecting your sleep. This can be especially useful if your job requires you to stay up at late hours to work on the computer.
