Question 1

Do Blue Light Glasses Really Work?

Accepted Answer

Blue light blocking glasses have filters in their lenses that block or absorb blue light. That means if you use these glasses when looking at a screen, especially after dark, they can help reduce exposure to blue light waves that can keep you awake and also help reduce eye strain. However, some people do claim blue light from digital devices does not cause eyestrain. The problems people complain about are simply caused by the overuse of digital devices.

Question 2

Are Blue Light Glasses Safe and Effective?

Accepted Answer

Blue light is high energy light which can cause damage to eyes and skin after using digital devices all day. But using blue light blocking glasses is a safe move and can never hurt eyes unless you filter and block light incorrectly. But different blue light glasses may not filter out the same amount of blue light, the least expensive one might block the most amount of blue light. Even though blue light glasses don't filter out all blue light, they do reduce exposure to blue-violet rays by 80 percent or more.

Question 3

How Much Are Blue Light Glasses?

Accepted Answer

According to optometry offices, adding blue light blocking to prescription glasses cost $40-$60 at LensCrafters and $47-$125 at Pearle Vision, with nonprescription blue light glasses starting around $99. At Payne Glasses, prescription blue light glasses start at $29.90, while non-prescription blue light glasses start at $13.99.

Question 4

Are Blue Light Glasses Necessary for Kids?

Accepted Answer

Study shows that overexposure to blue light due to screen media consumption can produce digital eye strain, headaches, and a lack of deep sleep in children. That's why it's quite important to get a pair of blue light glasses or computer glasses for your kids. Other than that, kids, in particular, can benefit from using blue light glasses. Because children may be at higher risk for blue light retinal damage than adults since children are still developing eyes so they may absorb more blue light than adults.

Question 5

Are Computer Glasses the Same as Blue Light Glasses?

Accepted Answer

Computer glasses can also be called blue light blocking glasses because they are both used to block or filter out blue light, eliminate eye strain, and help you sleep better. However, computer glasses might absorb less blue light than blue light blocking glasses or might cause blurring at further viewing distances because they are designed for closer vision. Therefore if you are wearing glasses then blue light blocking glasses are the preferable method of protection.
