Why should you use Blue Light glasses?

If you also spend many hours in front of the screen , it can be an advantage to use Blue Light glasses to take good care of your eyes. Blue Light glasses - or screen glasses - contain a filter in the lens, which filters blue light from screens .  

Computer screens, televisions and smartphones all contribute to exposing your eyes to blue light - all day long. Blue light in itself is not harmful, but can affect your sleep rhythm, give you dry eyes and headaches. When your eyes experience blue light, you trick them into thinking it's daytime. Your brain interprets artificial blue light as daylight. This means that it will try to keep you awake by lowering the production of the hormone called melatonin. 

Melatonin is also called the "sleep hormone" because it helps you fall asleep in the evening when it gets dark. If your body reduces the production of the sleep hormone because it thinks it is daytime, then you may experience difficulty sleeping. Poor or lack of sleep can give you difficulty concentrating, lower mood and headaches. These are all nuisances that can affect you during your day. Fortunately, these are also nuisances that you can prevent with the help of blue light glasses. 

What is blue light?  

Your eyes are exposed to blue light every day – completely naturally. This happens, for example, when you go out in the sun. Sunlight is a large source of blue light. The natural blue light is important for your activity level and your ability to stay awake during the day. In this way, it can therefore be said that blue light is not dangerous in itself. Blue light only becomes harmful when you are exposed to it in artificial form on a daily basis to a degree where your sleep is affected and you experience problems such as headaches and dry eyes.  

Take care of your eyes with Blue Light glasses 

Fortunately, you can prevent discomfort from artificial blue light by using Blue Light glasses when sitting in front of a screen. The blue light is filtered in the glasses thanks to a filter in the glass of the glasses. That way, you can safely watch a film or check your email before bed. Also remember to set your phone to night mode so that it switches to a more yellowish light in the evening. 

Whether you spend many hours in front of the screen at work, study or in your free time, screen glasses can be a good idea.
