Blue light glasses lenses

Blue light glasses lenses shield your eyes from UV and harmful blue light, indoors and outdoors. They filter out the bad while letting in the good, which reduces eye strain and helps protect your eyes for the long term. Add blue light glasses to any frames to maintain your eye health whenever you work on your laptop, scroll through your phone, or spend time outside.

What is blue light?

Blue light is all around us – the main source is the sun, which also exposes us to harmful UV light. Digital screens also emit harmful blue light, as do other sources like fluorescent and LED lights.

Blue light is sometimes called blue-violet light or violet light. It’s high-energy visible light in the wavelength of 400-500nm (the light that humans can see), while ultraviolet (UV) light rays are higher-energy ‘invisible’ light in the shorter wavelength of 100-400nm that’s just beyond our perception.




Harmful vs beneficial blue light

Too much exposure to harmful blue light can increase the risk of retinal cell damage, sleep disruption, and digital eye strain.

Beneficial blue light helps us see better – it enhances clarity, contrast, and colour perception. It also regulates our sleep and waking schedules, to keep our circadian rhythm in check.

When to wear blue light glasses

You can wear blue light glasses pretty much all the time – they’ll protect your eyes from harmful blue light emitted from the sun and digital screens.

Wear blue light lenses when you’re in front of your laptop, phone, tablet, TV, or other digital devices. They’ll filter out harmful blue light that’s emitted from your screens and help reduce symptoms of digital eye strain (sore or irritated eyes, headaches, and squinting).

The sun is the main source of our harmful blue light exposure. If it’s too dim to wear sunglasses, you can wear blue light glasses outdoors to protect your eyes from harmful blue light and UV rays.

You can wear blue light filtering glasses for casual driving, but if you spend long hours on the road at night it’s ideal to wear clear lenses with C Shield coating to ensure you have optimum clarity and help your eyes combat glare.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our BlueReflect™ and BlueReflect Plus™ lenses are similar to clear lenses, but they have an additional benefit of blue light filters to protect your eyes from UV and harmful blue light by filtering harmful light both indoors and outdoors.

You may notice a very slight yellow tint in your BlueReflect™ lenses if they're placed against a white background — this is completely normal and comes from the embedded filter in the lenses. There will also be a slight blue reflection on the surface of the lens (which means the glasses are doing their job!).

BlueReflect Plus™ have an even stronger filter, and therefore a slightly more noticeable tint and blue reflection.

Our blue light filtering lenses can be worn pretty much any time you like as they provide UV protection and harmful blue light filtration both indoors and outdoors.

However, you should wear sunglasses when outdoors in bright conditions to ensure visual comfort and optimum clarity. We also recommend using a secondary pair of clear lenses when driving at night for the absolute best vision.

Yes – blue light filtering glasses help protect your eyes from harmful blue light and UV. They help to reduce oxidative stress on retinal tissue, which helps to preserve retinal health over the long term.

They can also help your eyes relax during screen time, reducing eye strain symptoms and helping to regulate your circadian rhythm.
