Description
Whilst these are the newest invention in eyewear, it’s not technically correct to refer to computer glasses as “prescription” lenses. We listed them here anyway because they’re becoming increasingly ubiquitous.
Use of electronic devices has increased dramatically, and it’s hurting our eyes. Raw percentages of glasses wearers have increased greatly since smartphones and computers became part of our daily lives, and we are at great risk for accelerated macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss.
These devices emit blue light, certain ranges of which are harmful to our eyes. Computer glasses filter out this blue light, minimizing general eye strain and fatigue, reducing headaches, and generally keeping your eyes healthier.
Computer glasses are sold without prescriptions (sometimes as yellow-tinted glasses), and many companies will offer a blue light-blocking lens coating that performs the same function, but with your current prescription.
If you spend much of your day in front of one of these devices (we know that you’re more likely than not reading this on your smartphone), talk to someone about making your glasses computer-friendly.
