Blue Light Blocking Lenses

In today's digital age, it's impossible to escape the constant exposure to screens emitting blue light. Whether from smartphones, laptops, or even televisions, prolonged exposure to this artificial light can harm our eye health. Blue light-blocking lenses are eyeglass lenses specially designed to filter or reduce exposure to high-energy visible (HEV) blue light, often emitted by digital screens, smartphones, tablets, LED lighting, and other electronic devices.

At Greater New Orleans Eye Care in Marrero, LA, our professional optometrists use cutting-edge technology to offer a range of blue light-blocking glasses designed to alleviate the strain caused by excessive screen time to help patients.

Prevention of Digital Strain

One of the key benefits of blue light-blocking glasses is the protection against digital eye strain. Spending long hours staring at screens can lead to uncomfortable symptoms, such as dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches. These glasses help alleviate these symptoms and reduce eye fatigue by filtering out harmful blue light rays.

Benefits of Blue Light Blocking Glasses

In addition to protecting our eyesight, blue light-blocking lenses also play a crucial role in regulating our sleep patterns. Exposure to blue light can disrupt our circadian rhythm by suppressing the production of melatonin—the hormone responsible for promoting sleep. Wearing blue light-blocking glasses in the evening helps mitigate this disruption and allows us to fall asleep more easily.

Eye Comfort and Protection 

By incorporating blue light-blocking glasses into your everyday routine, you'll experience improved eye comfort and maintain healthier sleep patterns. Take proactive measures to protect your vision and well-being.
