Are blue light lenses free?

What are blue light protection lenses?

Contrary to UV light, blue light is emitted all around us, every day — both indoors and outdoors, from the screens on our digital device to the sun as the biggest source. Extended exposure may cause eye damage and discomfort, but don’t worry! With our blue light blocking glasses, you can enjoy your screen time and preserve your eyesight.

How does blue light affect us?

Our constant connection to our smartphones, tablets, and laptops may contribute to headaches, sore eyes, and stiff necks — all symptoms of digital eyestrain. With the majority of our waking hours spent in front of a screen, paired with harmful blue-violet light* from digital devices, it’s no surprise that our eyes are working harder than ever.

*Disclaimer: Harmful blue-violet light is between 415-455nm.

What is the difference between single-vision and progressive lenses?

Single-vision lenses offer one correction throughout the entire lens (usually for distance or reading).

What’s the best way to clean my lenses?

To clean your lenses, simply rinse them with a mild dish soap and lukewarm water, and dry them with a soft cloth. For day-to-day cleaning of light smudges, a few swipes of the lens cloth included in your case should do the trick. Please be careful to avoid using hot water on your lenses (especially if they are high-index lenses), as they can develop bubbles or cracks when exposed to high heat.

Yes! We can make prescription glasses in your current frames.

Are you suffering from eye strain?

What is eye strain? The term eye strain is frequently used by people to describe a group of vague symptoms that are related to use of the eyes. Eye strain is a symptom, not an eye disease. Eye strain occurs when your eyes get tired from intense use, such as driving a car for extended periods, reading, or working at the computer. If you have any eye discomfort caused by looking at something for a long time, you can call it eye strain.

What are symptoms of eye strain? There are many symptoms of eye strain but most common symptoms are; sore, tired or itchy eyes, blurred or double vision, increased sensitivity to light, difficulty concentrating, and watery or dry eyes.

How to reduce eye strain? Work with your doctor to determine if you need special eyewear to reduce eyestrain. You may even need specialized lenses, devices, or eye therapy for the activity that causes strain. Certain coatings and tints for lenses may help your eyes. Or you may find that you need to cut the time you wear contact lenses to help rest your eyes. In addition a simple way to avoid eyestrain is to limit the time you’re exposed to a single activity that requires intense focus. Try to spend less time on digital devices.

Every 20 minutes look 20 feet (6m) away 20 seconds this is a sure way to help remedy the issue. In addition Blue light protection lenses are a great way to help prevent harmful blue light bombarding your eye during tasks using digital devices and have been know to drastically reduce eyestrain.
