Blue Light Glasses FAQs

Blue Light Glasses FAQs

Constant use of your cellphone, laptop, or tablet can be taxing to your eyes due to the emission of blue light from these digital devices. Blue light glasses are designed to filter out blue light to protect your eyes. These FAQs from Sites Vision Clinic in Clarksville explain more about the effects of blue light and how blue light glasses work to preserve your sight.

What is blue light?

Blue light, also known as high energy visible light, is part of the visible light spectrum. The rays of blue light can irritate your eyes over time. The monitors on digital devices such as laptops, desktop computers, cellphones, and tablets tend to emit high levels of blue light.

What effects can blue light have on your eyes?

If you use digital devices excessively, blue light rays from these devices can strain your eyes, causing them to become red, irritated, and fatigued.

What can be done to counter the negative effects of blue light? 

If you’re experiencing eyestrain due to excessive use of digital devices, talk to our optometrist about eyewear to filter out blue light. We can prescribe blue light glasses for computer use or have blue light tint placed on your prescription eyewear to protect your eyes. Blue light tint will filter out blue light to reduce eyestrain, redness, and fatigue.

Does blue light contribute to computer vision syndrome?

Computer vision syndrome is eyestrain caused by excessive computer use. Symptoms often include eye redness, headaches, teary eyes, eye fatigue, and blurred vision. By filtering out harmful blue light rays, computer glasses with a blue light tint help reduce eyestrain and counter the symptoms of computer vision syndrome.

Are blue light glasses safe to use?

Blue light glasses are helpful and safe in protecting your eyes against blue light rays from digital devices. Our optometry specialist can provide you with the quality eyewear you need at an affordable cost.
