What is
Blue Light
all about?
A Blue Light Filter blocks a portion of blue light. Below we’ve got some helpful information to help you avoid eye strain and fatigue.
Naturally found in sunlight, blue light regulates our sleepiness and alertness cycles. The sun produces significantly more blue light than electronic sources, but now more than ever, we’re exposed to artificial blue light from our devices.

You’ve probably had tired eyes after a long day, right? Well, there are a number of actions that we’d recommend, including a comprehensive eye examination where one of our professional optometrists can identify potential issues such as binocular vision, dry eye, or a need for prescription lenses. You can also take regular breaks from screen time, use an app or phone-based filter to reduce blue light at night, and avoid screen use an hour before bed are all important actions you can take. Blue light filter lenses may also help to reduce eye strain and fatigue.
