Blue light emitted from electronic screens on computers, tablets, phones and TVs can cause eye strain and fatigue. In addition, too much blue light can suppress melatonin production, which can lead to insomnia and decreased sleep quality. These specialized lenses help filter out the problematic wavelengths and allow beneficial red light to pass through, resulting in less digital eye strain and helping your child sleep better. The glasses are lightweight, durable and stylish for kids. They also are designed with children in mind, which means they are impact-resistant and can withstand rough-housing.

Comfortable Blue Light Glasses for Children: Finding the Right Fit

Comfortable blue light glasses for children are now designed with blue light filters. This helps reduce the amount of blue light that is absorbed by the retina and cornea. It is recommended that you wear these types of glasses whenever you look at a computer, tablet, phone, or TV screen for prolonged periods of time. Blue blocker glasses are particularly helpful if you use your devices 1-2 hours before bedtime to help promote sleep.

Some people also say that these glasses help with eye dryness, which can be an issue for kids who spend too much time looking at screens. However, it is important to talk with your eye doctor about this as not all blue light lenses have been shown to alleviate dry eyes.
