What We Are Looking for from Blue Light Blocking Glasses

These eyeglasses can be very helpful but you do need to take your pick carefully. First of all, you need to consider the amount of blue light that the lenses are actually capable of blocking. A good pair should be able to block more than 95% of blue light. Anything less than that might just be a waste of money.

 

Other features of the lens must also be taken into consideration, like the color, the UV rating, and whether they have an anti-glare coating. Likewise, you should also inspect the frame carefully. It should be sturdy but comfortable to wear even for long periods. Of course, your chosen glasses should not only protect you but make you look good as well.

 

Is It Safe to Wear Blue Light Blocking Glasses All Day?

These glasses are designed for wearing when you are in front of the computer. If you want to wear them all day, it is safe in that there won't be any adverse effects on your health. However, you have to keep in mind that the bluest light blocking glasses have tinted lenses, which might affect the quality of your vision in certain environments.
