Perks of Blue Light Glasses
Blur light glasses feature an anti-reflective layer that decreases light and a slight tint that aids enhance contrast for clearer viewing. Blue light glasses block harmful blue light and harmful UV rays from both direct sunlight and digital devices.
These glasses can help improve sleeping patterns if worn at bedtime (according to research conducted by the University of Houston ).

Blue light glasses have also been credited with reducing headaches and migraine to some degree in people.
Drawbacks of Blue Light Glasses
It’s a bone of contention among many ophthalmologists whether blue light glasses are needed or useful. For instance, this is the statement from the American Academy of Opthalmology:-
“The symptoms of digital eye strain are linked to how we use our digital devices, not the blue light coming out of them,” the AAO says.
Blue light glasses have also been called to increase concerns about changing the perception of colours in people, and there has been a rise in the number of grievances of scotopic vision loss.
We will advise you to visit and consult an opthalmologist first before buying and wearing blue light glasses. While there have been naysayers about blue light glasses, whether they work or not, try them yourself first before judging their effectiveness. Try getting more than 6 hours of sleep and reduce the use of gadgets past bedtime.
