How sunglasses protect your eyes from blue light

Blue Light Filter Sunglasses – A Necessity for Eye Protection
Blue light blocking sunglasses are designed to reduce the amount of blue light reaching the eyes. In addition to UV protection, they also attenuate the intense blue light from both the sun and digital screens. This protection reduces the risk of eye strain and irritation caused by prolonged screen use and bright light.

How does the technology work?
The lens's special coating filters out some of the blue light that can otherwise negatively affect the cells of the eye. By blocking some of this energetic light wave, both the strain on the eyes and the risk of damage that can lead to the development of age-related eye diseases are reduced.

Combined functionality
Investing in sunglasses with a blue light filter provides a double benefit: they ensure optimal contrast and comfortable vision, while protecting your eyes from harmful light waves. This applies whether you are outdoors, working at a computer, or engaged in other digital activities.
