Filter blue-violet light in style with our top blue light filtering glasses. They’re made with high-quality materials, so they’re comfortable to wear all day. With a range of styles and colours, they double as a fashion accessory. Plenty of wearers find them more comfortable during long screen sessions, too.
Whether you work or relax a lot (indoors and outdoors), we’re here to help you find the best pair.
What are blue light glasses?
Blue light is everywhere. It’s a high-energy part of the visible spectrum. Blue light glasses, sometimes called blue light filtering glasses, have a special lens coating. That coating filters out up to 99.5% of blue-violet light (400–455nm) as stated by ISO TR20772-2018.[1] These are the wavelengths given off by the sun and by artificial light.
Many pairs are labelled ‘blue-light blocking’. It’s more accurate to say they filter some of the blue-violet light around you. And despite the screen-time reputation, the main source of blue light is sunlight, even indoors.
You can wear blue light glasses all the time. Use them as your regular glasses for all your routine activities, indoors and outdoors. They’re often available with or without a prescription.
They aren’t a substitute for an eye exam, though. If your eyes feel tired or your vision changes, book an appointment and talk to your optometrist.
Blue light glasses styles and lens colours
Clearly’s BlueReflect™ and BlueReflect™ Plus lenses have a slight yellow tint. They also carry a subtle blue reflection on the surface. Both filter UV rays and some of the blue-violet light reaching your eyes. These factors aren’t very noticeable, so they won’t affect your regular vision or appearance.
Want a pair that filters blue-violet light and looks good doing it? There are lots of frame materials to choose from, including:
- Metal
- Stainless steel
- Titanium
- Plastic
- Recycled and plant-based options
Don’t wear prescription glasses? You can pick a pair without a prescription. And if you do need a prescription, it’s easy to add blue light filtering to your lenses.
