WHAT IS BLUELIGHT?

The spectrum of light is subdivided on the basis of wavelengths in the nanometer range. Different wavelength ranges can be defined, which have different properties. You can find the blue range between 380 - 500 nanometers. It appears as a blue color. Similar to UV light, which is harmful to the body, blue light has short waves and is very high in energy. Not so good.

Blue light has the evolutionary task of signaling the body to be awake when the sun is shining. Biochemical processes prevent the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.

Why is blue light a problem?

Today, we are exposed to blue light not only during the day and in a natural way, but excessively and often. Screens, tablets, laptops, televisions and smartphones not only emit blue light non-stop, but also have an excessive amount of blue light. This leads to the following problems:

  • Sleep disorders
  • Damage to the cells of the retina
  • Irritation and dry eyes
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue and tiredness

HOW CAN I PROTECT MYSELF FROM BLUE LIGHT?

Our blue light filtering glasses, computer glasses or blue blocker glasses offer protection from blue light. The wavelength range in which glasses can filter blue light is important here. Blue light filters must be able to filter up to 450 nanometers in order to counteract the negative effects. Glasses that filter from 527 nanometers are in turn classified by law as uneffective. Lightia's blue light filtering glasses filter 100% of the blue light up to 400 nanometers and 84% of the high-energy, visible light in the spectrum from 400 to 450 nanometers. This prevents strong interference in your color perception.

THE ADVANTAGES OF PURCHASING BLUE LIGHT FILTERING GLASSES:

SLEEP BETTER

If you zone out in front of the TV in the evenings, do research on your smartphone in bed or shop on your tablet, you can support your own melatonin balance by wearing blue light filter glasses. As a result, you sleep faster and more deeply.

BE MORE EFFICIENT

Long screen sessions expose you to blue light for long periods of time, which is why you get tired and fatigued. Without breaks, you'll have a hard time concentrating. By using blue light filtering glasses during long screen sessions, you have the ability to get to your goal more effectively and quickly.

IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH

In addition to performance and sleep, your well-being often suffers from blue light making migraines, headaches and eye strain more common. If you suffer from these symptoms frequently and usually blame them on the weekend, you may be able to find relief with blue light filtering glasses.

BE MORE ATTENTIVE ON THE ROAD

Blue light filters help you see with greater contrast so you are no longer easily blinded by oncoming LED headlights in the dark. As a result, you drive less strained and reach your destination less tired. The purchase of blue light filtering glasses is therefore also worthwhile for commuters and long car journeys.
