Everything about blue light and blue light filter glasses

Blue light is everywhere. It is a component of the natural light that is emitted by the sun and can also be found in artificial light. We most often encounter blue light on digital screens, laptops, PCs, LED lamps and smartphones. Blue light is not harmful to us per se. On the contrary, it suppresses
Blue light contained in sunlight stimulates the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. This makes us more alert, fitter and more productive. However, too much blue light, especially in the evening, can be harmful to us and our eyes.

There are various measures you can take to prevent problems such as dry and tired eyes, headaches, concentration problems and sleep problems. We therefore recommend not using any electronic devices at least two hours before going to bed and wearing blue light filter glasses. This allows the body to produce enough melatonin and nothing stands in the way of a restful night.

The principle of blue light filter glasses works in a similar way to that of sunglasses. While sunglasses protect against UV rays, glasses with a blue light filter reflect blue light. Did you know? All Blueblocs glasses also have UV400 protection.

Even if you don't have poor eyesight, it's advisable to protect your eyes when you're looking at screens. This is easily possible with blue light filter glasses from Blueblocs. If you spend several hours a day in front of a screen and notice the first signs of strained eyes, concentration problems or even sleep disorders, it can be helpful to wear blue light filter glasses from Blueblcos.

In principle, anyone can wear glasses with a blue light filter from Blueblocs. They are particularly suitable for working in front of digital screens or when using electronic devices before going to bed. For high and intensive protection against blue light, it is best to use one of our glasses with orange lenses, as these block up to 99% of short-wave blue light.

Blue light is not necessarily dangerous and occurs naturally in sunlight. Long-wave blue light (440 to 490 nanometers) is considered to improve mood and if we don't get enough of it, we may feel tired or not wake up properly. Short-wave blue light (400 to 450 nanometers), on the other hand, can be harmful to the retina of the eyes because it can release free radicals there. It is also possible that it can lead to sleep disorders if too much of it is consumed in the evening. LEDs and electronic devices in particular emit a particularly high amount of blue light.

Blue light filter glasses from Blueblocs protect the eyes from harmful blue light. Retinal damage, which occurs especially in the long term, can be prevented or reduced with them. However, there is no reliable data yet on the amount at which a long-term risk begins. On the other hand, blue light filter glasses are also suitable for everyday use, as they can be used in front of the screen, while driving or as sunglasses (thanks to the UV400 protection). The main advantage of Blueblocs, however, is when used before going to bed, as it can improve your sleep quality and help you have more energy for the next day.

Certain blue light filter glasses may be uncomfortable for some people because they are not used to wearing glasses all the time. It is therefore important that you choose glasses that are very comfortable to wear. If you find Blueblocs glasses uncomfortable to wear, we will be happy to send you another model within 30 days (30-day money-back guarantee).

Only buy blue light filter glasses with high-quality lenses and not cheap ones. To ensure the quality of the blue light filter
and to ensure the UV400 protection of blue light filter glasses, you can have the glasses checked by an optician you trust.

We currently do not offer glasses with corrective lenses for visual impairments such as nearsightedness or farsightedness.
However, we will be expanding our range in the near future. Until then, we recommend that all people with vision problems combine our glasses with contact lenses.

Clean the lenses with a soft cloth and avoid cleaning agents. The best way to clean them is of course to use the Blueblocs cleaning cloth. Also, store the glasses in the glasses case when not in use to avoid scratches.

Yes, blue light filter glasses are also suitable for children, especially if they spend a lot of time in front of screens. Subscribe to our newsletter so you don't miss any glasses models for children.

Yes, our blue light filter glasses are ideal for watching TV, working on a computer or reading on digital devices as they effectively filter out the blue light from these devices.

Unlike conventional glasses, blue light filter glasses block harmful blue light, protecting the eyes from strain and potential long-term damage. In addition, all Blueblocs glasses have UV400 protection.

With Blueblocs we have proven that good blue light filter glasses don't have to cost a fortune. We offer glasses with blue light filters for under CHF 100 and are therefore significantly cheaper than our competitors. If you decide on glasses from more well-known brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, RayBan, Hugo Boss & Co., the prices are around CHF 200. Cheaper alternatives under CHF 50 are usually not equipped with high-quality lenses and protection from blue light cannot therefore be guaranteed in some cases.

In fact, many modern screens today, especially smartphones, tablets, laptops and monitors, have a blue light filter function built in. This reduces the amount of blue light emitted by the screen and should reduce eye strain and promote sleep. However, it is not as effective as special blue light filter glasses, as these can filter out a larger proportion of the blue light. Our Blueblocs offer a portable solution that is independent of the device. This means that you can use the glasses anywhere and do not have to first check whether the device has an integrated filter.

Questions about our Blueblocs

Several studies have shown that filtering blue light in the evening has less impact on melatonin production, which can lead to better sleep quality.

We recommend wearing our blue light filter glasses with orange lenses about 1-2 hours before going to bed, especially if you will still be using electronic devices during this time.

Yes, but it is specifically designed for evening use. During the day, the orange tint distorts colors and is therefore less ideal for activities where accurate color perception is important.

Orange lenses block a much larger proportion of blue light than transparent lenses. They are therefore more effective at protecting against blue light in the evening and many people have fewer problems sleeping thanks to them. Transparent lenses, on the other hand, are particularly suitable for everyday use as they do not change the perception of color and still protect the eyes from fatigue or itching when spending a lot of time in front of screens. All of our glasses have UV400 protection, which is why both can also be used in everyday life.

The filtering effect of the lenses is permanent and does not lose its effectiveness as long as the lenses are intact and have not been damaged.

Wearing blue light filter glasses can help reduce eye strain, especially when working in front of a screen for long periods of time. Many of our customers report fewer headaches and less tired eyes.
