How Blue Light Glasses came to be.
It’s not only important to understand why you should filter Blue Light, but also why Blue Light blocking glasses (also known as computer glasses) were created. According to The Vision Council, a group dedicated to improving vision health, over 80% of Americans spend more than two hours a day on a device that emanates blue light. 67% of this time is spent on more than one device during this time. In our increasingly digital world, lessening time spent in front of screens isn’t easy (or even possible at times.) That’s why Blue Light glasses were specially designed with lenses that filter Blue Light and reduce glare. Both the Vision Council and Dr. Samuel Pierce, president of the American Optometric Association recommend using prescription Blue Light glasses or non-prescription Blue Light glasses to decrease the symptoms related to eye strain caused by digital devices. Whether you’re staring at a computer screen for extended periods of time, or scrolling through social media, catching up with late-night reading on your tablet, Felix Gray’s Blue Light blocking prescription glasses and non-prescription glasses may be just what you need to limit the exposure.
