Blue Light Glasses

Staring at screens all day can take a toll on your eyes. Before reaching for pain medicine, consider whether your digital devices might be the culprit behind headaches, dry eyes or fuzzy vision. Heartland Vision in Indiana provides blue light filtering lenses to help get rid of eyestrain-related issues. 

Blue light glasses reduce exposure to blue light wavelengths emitted by phones, tablets and computer screens. The lenses themselves are not tinted blue- they have an invisible coating to filter out fatiguing and damaging blue light rays. 

Heartland Vision offers affordable blue light glasses for men, women and kids with no prescription. Protect your eyes while staying connected in our technology-driven world.

Why protect against blue light?

Blue light has benefits and drawbacks. Sunlight provides natural blue light exposure and boosts alertness, reaction time and mood during the day. LED lighting with blue wavelengths is energy-efficient and eco-friendly.

However, overexposure to artificial blue light from digital devices and indoor lighting can be problematic, especially at night. Our eyes aren’t well equipped to filter intense blue light on their own, potentially causing eyestrain and sleep disruption.

Sustainable production Blue light & sleep

Blue light during the day can boost mood and alertness, but excessive blue light exposure at night from screens can disrupt natural sleep cycles by suppressing melatonin production. Wearing blue light-filtering glasses at night protects against blue wavelengths, allowing you to fall asleep more easily.

Sustainable production Blue light & eye strain

Because blue light wavelengths are smaller, they scatter more when emitted from digital screens instead of focusing directly on the eyes. The reduced contrast and excessive scattered blue light strain eyes over time. Blue light filtering lenses substantially reduce scattered blue wavelengths to increase screen contrast and comfort for prolonged viewing.

Do blue light glasses work? 

Blue light glasses are growing in popularity, but more research is still needed to quantify their benefits. Formal clinical trials on blue light filters are needed to determine the scientific benefits. 

In the meantime, many people swear by the positive effects they’ve noticed from trying blue light lenses, including: 

  • Reduced eyestrain, squinting and headaches
  • Less eye discomfort like dryness and watering
  • Clearer vision after extended screen time 
  • Decreased light sensitivity
  • Improved sleep quality

Your individual experience is the best indicator of whether blue light glasses work for you. If you find they provide relief from digital eyestrain and other issues, the benefits can be life-changing.

Do I need blue light glasses? 

Blue light lenses are recommended for people who spend over 6 hours every day staring at screens and for people who check their phones more than 20 times per day. Blue light glasses are convenient to continuously filter blue light exposure from computers, phones and other devices as you switch between them. 

In addition to trying blue light glasses, here are some tips to reduce digital eyestrain: 

  • Use the 20-20-20 rule - every 20 minutes, look away at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds
  • Position your screen 25 inches away from your face and slightly downward
  • Adjust room lighting and increase screen contrast
  • Try night mode and screen filters
  • Take regular screen breaks
  • Alternate glasses and contacts when possible
  • Limit screens before bedtime

Kids are also prone to eye fatigue and posture problems from excessive screen time. Discuss blue light options for your child with the experts at Heartland Vision.

  • Types of blue light glasses
