If you only wear one pair of glasses, blue light protection is not recommended!

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-02-27

Many people will consider wearing blue-light blocking glasses when they wear glasses.

Because I look at computers and mobile phones a lot now, I want to reduce the damage to my eyes from electronic products through anti-blue light glasses!

But ah, if you only have one pair of glasses, I recommend that you don't wear blue-light blocking glasses!

Because: anti-blue light glasses cannot be worn all day

First of all, although it can protect against blue light when using electronic products, it is not as effective when it is outdoors.

Secondly, high-quality blue light blocking lenses will have a darker background color and low light transmittance, which is not suitable for driving or night use.

I've put together a super practical guide to choosing blue light blocking lenses, and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask them in the comment section

Blue light prevention glasses guide

There are three types of blue light blocking lenses:

Coating reflective type.

Substrate absorption type.

Coating reflection + substrate absorption type.

Lenses are recommended separately:

For those who have a lot of electronic products, we recommend the coating reflective type, such as Zeiss anti-blue light and Essilor anti-blue light film.

If you need double protection, you can consider the film reflection plus substrate absorption type, such as the bright moon anti-blue light, but the background color is very heavy!

For outdoor activities, you can consider the substrate absorption type, of course, I recommend using myopic sunglasses.

There are many types of background colors such as yellow, warm yellow, and blue-gray lenses. Remember, the darker the undertone, the better the protection. For example, Zeiss anti-blue light, Essilor, and Bright Moon anti-blue light are all choices with heavy background colors, while Kemi U6 is also very popular although it has a lighter background color.

You can choose a pair of anti-blue light lenses that suit your needs according to your needs!
