Work culture and work environments have changed significantly over the past decades. Today, most of us work in front of screens for approximately 8 hours a day. Alongside the emergence of new work habits, there has been an increase in work-related health issues that were previously less common. Working in front of a computer can lead to strained eyes, headaches, neck pain, and can even result in insomnia. Ergonomic work posture and a properly adjusted computer screen are crucial factors for those working all day in front of a computer. However, in many cases, these problems are due to vision issues. Some of these problems can be prevented by using special glasses designed for people who spend a lot of time in front of screens, so investing in a pair of blue light glasses can be a good idea.
What are blue light glasses and do they work?
Blue light glasses are essentially glasses designed for computer work. There are many different types of blue light glasses available on the market, and it's important to choose a pair that suits your individual needs.
Blue light glasses come with a single strength and can also have progressive lenses. The lenses in progressive blue light glasses have a higher magnification at the bottom than at the top. This reduces the so-called convergence stress that can occur when looking at a screen.
Convergence stress means that your eyes have to work harder than usual to focus on the screen, which can lead to eye strain, headaches, and even neck pain. Blue light glasses with single strength are perfect for those who want to use their reading glasses during work.
Many people use their regular reading glasses for computer work, but this is not ideal because reading glasses lenses are not designed to protect the eyes from harmful blue light. Blue light glasses function like reading glasses with a blue light filter layer on the lenses, which helps reduce the harmful blue light from screens.

When do you need blue light glasses?
If you work all day in front of screens, it's important to protect your eyes from the harmful blue light emitted by screens. Blue light glasses can also be a good investment if you spend a lot of time looking at screens in your leisure time. If you enjoy playing video games, watching TV, or using your phone for extended periods, getting a pair of screen glasses to protect your eyes can be a good idea.
What is the difference between screen glasses and reading glasses?
When it comes to corrective eyewear, screen glasses and reading glasses are often confused. The primary difference lies in their intended use. Reading glasses are designed for close-up activities like reading, while screen glasses are optimized for screen use at a distance (e.g., watching TV or using a smartphone). Reading glasses are specifically designed to correct nearsightedness and enhance vision for small print, and they typically do not have a blue light filter and should not be used during screen use. However, screen glasses have additional features to minimize the negative effects of screen time, such as coatings that filter blue light. Therefore, screen glasses and reading glasses serve different purposes, with screen glasses being more suitable for users who often stare at screens for extended periods. The key thing to remember is that regular reading glasses are not suitable for screen use.
