No matter if you work at an office or remotely from home, digital screens require hours of your attention each day, which may result in eye strain as well as headaches, neck, back and shoulder discomfort.
Avoid these problems with computer screen glasses featuring blue light-blocking lenses. These glasses are specifically designed to reduce the effects of blue light exposure on both your eyes and sleep cycle, helping you stay away from strain and insomnia.
Blocking Blue Light
If you spend too much time staring at a screen, eye strain is likely. Computer glasses can help relieve this discomfort by filtering out blue light emitted by screens.
Blue light inhibits the release of melatonin, disrupting your circadian rhythm and altering when and how often you sleep and wake. If you use electronic devices at night, blue light blocking glasses can help ensure a higher quality of restful sleep.
Most computer screen glasses feature clear lenses designed to filter out blue light without interfering with color vision, along with features like anti-glare protection, small magnification and de-centered pupillary distance adjustment.
Some computer glasses feature bifocal lenses; however, these require you to tilt your head downward to view the bottom section of the lens – an action which may lead to neck pain. Single-vision lenses designed specifically for computer use prioritize intermediate and near vision in order to reduce neck strain while still allowing users to view screens with minimal up-and-down head movement.
Preventing Eye Strain
The best computer screen glasses will help to alleviate digital eye strain symptoms like itchy eyes, blurred vision or headaches that may arise after extended use of devices. They also filter out high-energy blue-violet light emitted by LED screens of devices to protect your vision from strain.
These lenses are an excellent solution if you spend most of your day using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Designed to be worn over your regular prescription lenses and provide a clear view without visual distortions, these lenses allow a clear view of the screen without visual obstructions or visual distortions.
Bifocal computer glasses require you to tilt or hunch over in order to focus on the lower segment of the lens – which over time, may lead to discomfort in your neck and back.
An effective computer screen glass should have a tint that filters out harmful blue-violet light from LED screens of your device and an antireflective coating to minimize glare from overhead lighting sources. You could also choose photochromic lenses which darken in sunlight for added protection.
Getting a Good Night’s Sleep
As digital devices continue to increase in use, so too do cases of eye strain and insomnia. This is likely due to their emission of blue light which stimulates the brain while interfering with natural sleep cycles in humans.
Computer screen glasses may provide relief for eye strain caused by prolonged screen use, with anti-reflective lenses and special treatments that filter out blue light. You can get them with or without a valid prescription – and many styles are available to meet individual tastes.
Although computer screen glasses do provide some protection from blue light, they may not be effective at helping promote sleep. According to research, the best way to achieve good night’s rest is avoiding screen use after dusk and stopping two or three hours before bedtime – also try maintaining a regular sleep schedule and wake-up time.
Staying Healthy
Special computer glasses can protect your eyes from harmful blue light emissions and ease eye strain, while at the same time filtering out light that suppresses your melatonin levels and affects circadian rhythms; helping you to sleep more soundly at night.
These glasses also reduce screen glare to make your work and TV watching less tiring, eliminating eye strain or having to lean forward to see clearly on-screen, as well as blurred vision or other computer-related eye problems that might otherwise arise.
Reducing eye strain requires taking regular breaks, blinking regularly and staying away from digital screens whenever possible.
