5 Important Reasons to Wear Blue-Light Glasses!!
Work and social life are increasingly centred on staring at a screen for multiple hours each day either from PC screens or smart devices including tablets of mobile phones. Consider wearing blue-light protection glasses to counteract the effects of excessive blue light exposure.
Blue-light glasses are treated to filter out blue light to effectively block the transmission of a range of wavelengths emitted from devices.
Here are five reasons why wearing these glasses may be beneficial to you.
1. Better sleep
Spending any amount of time on a screen before bed can make you feel alert in the same way that going for a walk outside in the sunlight can. Short wavelengths delay the release of melatonin, a sleep-inducing hormone that your body naturally begins to release a couple of hours before bedtime.
Using a tablet or other type of screen before bed can cause this release to be delayed, making it more difficult to fall asleep quickly. If you are unable to turn off your device an hour or two before bedtime, as recommended by sleep experts, blue light glasses may help you sleep better.
2. Less eye strain
Looking at a screen all day can cause stress and strain on your eyes and muscles. Ergonomic adjustments can help reduce the muscle issues that come with sitting at a desk all day and staring at a screen. Blue light-blocking glasses can aid in the reduction of eye strain.
Blue-light can make it difficult to concentrate on the screen, causing your eyes to strain. Blue-light glasses improve contrast on your screen, making it easier to focus and, as a result, reducing eye strain.
3. Fewer headaches
Light, particularly blue-light, can cause migraines and aggravate headache pain. Blue light blocking glasses may help to reduce migraine attacks, headaches, and headache pain.
4. Reduced risk of eye diseases
Your cornea and lens are effective at preventing harmful UV light from reaching the retina. They cannot, however, block blue light. Damage to the retina increases your chances of developing macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness. Blue light can penetrate your retina, causing macular degeneration-like symptoms and potentially increasing your risk of developing cataracts.
5. Your devices are here to stay but you can do things to mitigate the negative effects!
Many of these blue-light related issues can be avoided by stepping away from your computer, reading a book instead of watching TV, and limiting your use of your tablet and phone. It’s because we recognise that it’s virtually impossible for anyone of any age to limit these exposures that Axelia have invested heavily in developing and producing high-quality modern blue-light protection glasses.
Axelia has worked in conjunction with one of the largest specialist manufacturers of glasses and with the combined feedback from users to ensure we have modern-looking blue-light glasses that anyone is happy to wear to look great whilst protecting your eyes.
Are you ready to use blue-light glasses to improve your eye health and educate others in your family or work colleagues?
