Blue light blocking glasses claim to help mitigate digital eye strain, sleep cycle disruption and other potential side effects associated with screen time; however, not all work as advertised.
When purchasing blue light blockers, always consult spectral test reports to verify that they block out all wavelengths listed as being filtered out and that your frames offer UV protection.
Computer Screen Glasses
Computer glasses are specifically designed to alleviate eye strain and fatigue from using digital devices, by filtering out harmful blue light emitted by screens and helping reduce glare from lights or reflections on the screen. Furthermore, computer glasses help enhance contrast and clarity for clearer viewing experiences.
Blue light can be found both outdoors and artificially lit environments; however, its effects on retinal function vary considerably when exposed to excessive amounts from screens. Polarized blue light filters on computer glasses have been designed to block out this light while still absorbing other wavelengths of illumination.

Your computer lens choice must fit with the work environment. Bifocals and trifocals may not be suitable as they require tilting your head up and down to see different parts of the screen, requiring you to continuously shift head positioning. Instead, consider opting for occupational bifocals that have an intermediate/near vision zone with high focal distance so you can sit closer without constantly having to shift position.
SunDown Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Blue light from screens may be harmless during the daytime, but at nighttime it can disrupt our sleep and cause eye strain. Our collection of blue light blocking sunglasses was designed to block out artificial blue light emitted by electronic devices and house lights after sundown to prevent circadian rhythm disruption and promote restful restful sleep.
For those who do not feel comfortable wearing prescription glasses at night, we also offer our Fitover Night Swannies that mount directly over existing frames. Lightweight and great for early evening use before it's time for bed, these Fitover Night Swannies provide peace of mind while getting ready for bedtime.
Effectively limiting blue light prior to bedtime helps the brain produce more melatonin, which induces restful REM sleep and has been proven scientifically as an effective sleep aid. Our blue light blocking glasses have been specifically designed with this in mind and have proven their worth as effective aids for sleep.
Polarized Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Our selection of polarized blue light blocking glasses are specially crafted to help shield your eyes from the potentially harmful effects of digital screens. Whether working from home, watching an episode of The Office, or simply scrolling social media - these glasses provide essential eyewear protection and should be part of any eyewear wardrobe.
These glasses block the harmful blue light emitted by most LED screens - including TVs, computers, tablets and smartphones - which can lead to eye strain, dry eyes and can disrupt natural sleep cycles by overpowering melatonin hormone that controls circadian rhythm and wakefulness regulation. Our polarized blue light blocking glasses reduce glare to help relieve visual fatigue and discomfort; plus they come in various magnification levels so you can select one to suit your individual needs.
Blue Light Blocking Sunglasses
The sun emits various light wavelengths that range from red, green, orange and blue rays; their colors and energy levels depend on wavelength (also referred to as electromagnetic radiation). Blue light emitted by electronic devices - televisions, computers, tablets and smartphones all emit blue light that may contribute to eye strain, headaches and disrupt circadian rhythms as well as impair sleep-promoting melatonin production. Excessive use can result in eye strain headaches as well as disrupt sleep-promoting melatonin production by blocking release.
Many companies are producing stylish yet comfortable block blue light glasses to promote better sleep patterns and reduce eye strain. These frames come in various colors, styles and tints; lighter hues that filter out less blue light are often worn during the day to ease eye strain while darker orange lenses may be better suited for nighttime use to stimulate melatonin release and promote better nighttime rest patterns. Warby Parker and Felix Gray retailers even offer virtual try-on services so customers can see how the glasses will look before making a purchase decision.
