With the rise in screen time, blue light glasses have become a popular accessory. But how effective are they, really? Here’s what you need to know about the benefits of blue light glasses and some common myths surrounding them.
What Is Blue Light?
Blue light is a high-energy visible (HEV) light that screens emit. While blue light from the sun helps regulate our sleep, excessive exposure from devices may lead to eye strain and affect sleep quality.
Myth 1: Blue Light Glasses Cure Eye Strain Completely
- Reality: Blue light glasses reduce digital eye strain but aren’t a complete fix. Pairing them with other habits, like the 20-20-20 rule (taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes), can help even more.
Myth 2: Blue Light Glasses Provide Complete UV Protection
- Reality: Not all blue light glasses have UV protection. If you’re looking for outdoor UV protection, choose glasses with UV-blocking features.
Real Benefits of Blue Light Glasses:
- Reduced Eye Strain: By filtering out blue light, these glasses ease discomfort during prolonged screen use.
- Improved Sleep Quality: Blue light affects melatonin production, impacting sleep. Wearing blue light glasses in the evening can help improve sleep patterns.
- Enhanced Focus: Reduced eye strain can lead to greater focus and productivity throughout the day.
