Our Everyday lenses block 30%-50% of all HEV blue-light between 430-450nm spectrum and 100% from 400nm, offering ample protection whilst minimising colour distortion.
These lenses are recommended if you use your digital screens forย 1-6 hours per day. These lenses are designed for those who spend limited time in front of a digital screen, whether for fun or work, and want to protect their eyes and brain fromย Digital Eye Strain and Insomnia.
When using ourย digital devices, their screens emit a whole spectrum of visible light, includingย High Energy Visible (HEV)ย light, which we see as the colourย blue. This is the same highly energetic light emitted by the sun. Before digital screens, our eyes would only ever usually have to cope with this highly energetic light for during the day. However today, we are exposing our eyes & brains to HEV more and more, which can lead toย migraines, double vision, blurry & dry eyes and insomnia.
Most users will benefit from this level of protection from HEV blue-light using this 30% blocking lens.
Our Heavy Duty lens block 98.5% of all HEV blue-light on 400-520nm spectrum and 100% from 400nm. Designed for professionals and insomniacs.
If you use your digital screens forย 6+ hours per day, we recommend our Heavy Duty lenses, which block 98.5% of all HEV blue-light, offering maximum eye protection whilst using your digital devices.
If you spendย a significant amount of timeย in front of a screen, whether for fun or work andย especially at night, then these advanced lenses will afford you the maximum protection. If you suffer fromย Insomniaย these lenses will help alleviate the effects of HEV light on your circadian rhythms andย sleep patterns.
Ourย Heavy Duty Clip-onsย add 70% blocking power to your Everyday lenses, which already block 30% HEV blue-light. You can therefore increase your blue-light protection toย 100%ย as and when you need it, offering you maximum flexibility.
We also have UV400ย Solar clip-ons, for when the sun is out, and Red Lens clip-ons coming soon!
There are numerous ways you can reduce the strain on your eyes caused by HEV.
The best way to take care of your eyes is to get an optician to take a look at your eyes, explain your symptoms and see what they prescribe. It might be that you need to start wearing prescription lenses, or if you are already, maybe your prescription has changed.
You can often reduce the effect of screens on your eyes by simply adjusting the settings on your devices. Turn down the brightness, increase the font size & contrast or reduce the 'color temperature' settings. Check with your product manual or their customer services if you are unsure how to do this. Computer Glasses offer a slight amber hue which can improve the contrast from the text on your screens making it easier to read.
Blinking is one of those reflexes that we often do subconsciously. However if you are able to be more mindful of it, and force yourself to blink more often when using your laptop or mobile, you will coat your eyes with more tears and keep them lubricated. You could also use lubricating eye drops from your local pharmacy.
When you stare at screens for too long, you can get 'focusing fatigue'. This simply means that you are exhausting your eyes by staring at one thing for too long. Imagine staring at your feet for hours on end, you would soon get a headache from focussing on one thing for so long! This is the same with our screens except, we often stare for hours on one single object without realising.
Every 20 minutes or so, take a break, stare off into the horizon, or something far away and give your eyes a break. During your breaks, make sure to stand up and move about whilst stretching your arms, legs, back, neck and shoulders. This will also reduce muscle tension and fatigue.
Anti-blue blocking lenses cancel out the HEV blue-light spectrum which causes digital eye strain. Wearing computer glasses whilst using digital devices cancels out the effect of the light shielding your eyes and brain. Whilst anti-blue lenses are not the only solution to digital eye strain, they are an important component to maintaining healthy eyes and brain in this modern age. They are a modern solution to a modern problem.
