How to Choose Blue Light Glasses For Your Needs
With screens becoming a part of every moment—from Zoom calls to late-night scrolling—blue light glasses have gone from a wellness trend to a daily essential. But not all blue light glasses are the same.
The key to seeing (and sleeping) better isn’t just wearing blue light glasses—it’s choosing the right tint for your lifestyle.
Let’s break down exactly how to choose the best pair for you, based on when, where, and why you use your screens.
First, What Does Blue Light Do?
Blue light, especially the high-energy wavelengths emitted by screens and LEDs, can:
-
Strain your eyes
-
Disrupt your natural sleep cycle
-
Suppress melatonin production (your sleep hormone)
-
Contribute to digital fatigue and headaches
That’s why blue light blocking glasses were developed—to filter these wavelengths and help your body stay in sync.
But here’s the part most people miss:
👉 Different tints block different levels of blue light.
And that’s what makes all the difference.
