Block Blue Light and Enhance your Vision!

I have worn blue light blocking glasses for a while, using them for game play, which was detrimental to my success. In my college years, I played World of Warcraft for hours upon hours along with various video games that caused my eyes to strain if I didn’t have my glasses.

I thought I was Army Strong!

Working 8-12 hours a day took the majority of my time. I was a computer science major who served as a Signal Officer in the Army. I considered myself Army Strong but was exhausted with a headache at the end of the day. All I did was work on computers all day.

Technology Moves Forward.

As technology progressed, I found myself looking at screens constantly. From the computer to my phone and from my phone to the TV, I did nothing but look at screens all day. I don’t think I’m the only one who does this. I didn’t think about it at the time, but I realized I’m firing blue lights into my eyes every single day without protection.

What is Blue Light?

Many are not familiar with blue light and how it works. To break it down, it consists of short wavelengths that emit a lot of energy. The blue end of the light spectrum is known to cause potentially long term damage to your eyeballs.

Do the Test!

Digital Eye Strain is a serious issue. At this moment get up and look away from the screen. I want you to notice the relief you feel from not looking at your screen. Your eyes are straining looking at a screen releasing blue light. This may cause red eyes, or even headaches. 

The Sun emits blue light!

We’ve been looking at blue light all of our lives. The sun itself emits the blue light. Blue light has benefits allowing us to be more attentive along with a better mood. Like sugar, too much of a good thing can be bad. Artificial light is taking over our lively hoods because we use absorb blue light all day and all night. Having problems sleeping? This exposure may be causing you to reduce the release of melatonin, an important hormone that assists you during your rest.

Birth Control Glasses

Back in the World of Warcraft days, blue light glasses were considered BCG’s (Birth Control Glasses). They were a bulky and unappealing accessory. I really didn’t care since I played games all day. In the office, they could have been the talk of the town. This day in age, the glasses are a lot more modern, comfortable, and affordable. I use my glasses every single day and I honestly feel amazing. 

You are absorbing too much!

You can get a prescription or just plain blue light protection. Wearing my frames, I find myself feeling more restful. You will feel like your eyes may not be strained or red when you complete your work day. I never realized how much I looked at blue light devices until I wore my glasses. On average people are spending over 10 hours a day looking at digital devices.
