BLUE LIGHT: How does it affect younger eyes?
Blue light is a segment of the visible light spectrum responsible for keeping you alert. It's naturally present in sunlight but it is also concentrated in the light that comes out of your digital devices. Prolonged exposure is proven to cause eye strain, headaches and problems with sleep.
Screen time amongst kids nowadays has increased significantly. Whilst we at Ocushield do not seek to change that, our mission is to protect as many young eyes in the modern, screen dominated world as possible.
THE IMPACTS: Blue light glasses for children
You may be wondering, what exactly is Blue light? This high frequency light penetrates young retinas, giving their brain a cue that it's time to wake up and seize the day. Extended exposure to blue light can result in retinal cell death, headaches, dry eyes and fatigue. These are all common symptoms of blue light exposure in children.
Plus, by restricting the production of melatonin (the chemical which helps us sleep) blue light disrupts the natural sleep cycles of kids, causing lethargy, irritability and a drop in focus. Yikes!
So we created blue light blocking glasses for kids!
What are blue light glasses, and how do they work? Here at Ocushield our mission is to protect as many eyes as possible in the digital age. Whilst our eye experts already produce blue light blocking glasses for adults, we wanted to ensure younger eyes which are in greater need of blue light protection, are covered as well.
Our FDA registered anti blue light glasses effectively block up to 99% of harmful UV & blue light emissions from reaching young eyes and between 300-400nm and up to 54% of harmful blue light between 400-470nm.
1. Do you offer custom or prescription glasses?
We don’t offer prescription glasses unfortunately. However, we do have some clip on lenses that you can apply over your current prescription glasses for perfect vision and blue light protection.
2. I already have an Ocushield screen protector. Do I still need the glasses?
Yes, glasses will cover you across all devices that emit blue light, such as TVs, phone screens, light bulbs and more - giving your eyes the protection it needs against this modern day menace.
3. What are the dimensions of the glasses?
Our glasses are 137mm wide and each lense is 51mm wide. The unisex shape and style make them a perfect fit for all face shapes and sizes.
4. What material are the glasses?
Our glasses are made of plastic and are lightweight and durable - perfect for protecting those peepers.
5. Are the glasses fragile?
Although they are lightweight, our glasses frames are sturdy and durable.
6. How to clean blue light glasses?
Cleaning blue light glasses is easy, make sure you use warm water and a clean cloth. You can use soap as a natural remover of dirt and oils - we would not recommend anything stronger as coatings can come away after a wile. Foam up the soap and wipe the lenses with the cloth, then dry with a paper towel or a separate cloth. You may want to use warm water after this in case there are any soap stains after drying to get rid of them.
7. Can you wear blue light glasses with contacts?
Blue light glasses can work with both soft and hard contact lenses with no issues. The blue light glasses will not affect your ability to see.
