Blue Light Lenses
What is blue light and should I have protective lenses?
Artificial blue light from computers, television, phones, tablets and indoor lighting is increasingly being linked to the strains, aches and pains which can afflict the eyes. Newer research also links blue light to long term adverse outcomes for eyesight and triggering of migraines. It is now accepted that prolonged blue light exposure affects our sleep – especially if using devices before bedtime. This is why newer iPhones offer Night Shift to literally change the colours on the screen. Seeing blue light at night will trick your body into thinking it doesn’t need to go to sleep.
The good news is that our technicians have developed a lens that can filter blue light and therefore reduce risks to your eyesight and health.

What Do Blue-Light Blocking Lenses Do?
Lensologys unique lenses can block this harmful light so it doesn’t ever reach your eyes. Unlike alternative Blue Light Blocking lenses from elsewhere, our lenses will ALSO protect you from UVA and UVB rays – even though the lens is virtually clear!
Our Blue Light Blocking lenses will boost your eye health, concentration and vision during the day AND help you sleep better at night.
Become a Brainy Blue Light Blocking Boffin
Blue Light is very close in wavelength to these rays. UVA rays have the shortest wavelength, followed by UVB, then Blue light. We can escape UV light by being indoors, but we will be bombarded by Blue Light which comes from artificial lighting, computer screens, laptops, tablets and phones – again causing eye strain, headaches and interfering with our sleep patterns as Melatonin release is subdued.
The good news is that we have our very own specialised lens that will protect you from all the dangers above. Despite being a virtually clear lens you will be protected from all three types of harmful light both outdoors and inside. Not only that, our lenses protect you from light coming from BOTH sides of the lens – not only that coming directly through the lens, but also light reflected from the back of the lens.

FAQs
How do blue light glasses work?
Blue light glasses have a coating on the lens that effectively deflects and blocks harmful rays emitted from screens such as computers, TVs, and phones. Blocking these rays and reducing the glare from screens can hold many health benefits.
Can I wear blue light glasses all the time?
Wearing blue light glasses all the time is not at all harmful to your eyes, just be sure to remember that many types of blue light glasses do not protect your eyes from the sun, so they should not be used as sunglasses.
Can I get blue light glasses with a prescription?
Yes, blue light coatings work with prescription lenses since it is a coating that is added to the lens, similar to how anti-scratch lenses work.
Can I add blue light blocking to my current glasses?
Yes, you can reglaze most types of glasses with blue light lenses. You can also add a blue light coating to different types of lenses during the reglazing process, such as bifocals and varifocals, not just single vision lenses.
Can you add blue light coatings to sunglasses?
Yes, you can add blue light lenses to any glasses, including sunglasses, alongside any other prescription or non-prescription needs you may have.
