BLUE LIGHT BLOCKING GLASSES:
EXPLAINED

With screen use being an essential part of our lives, both at home and at the office, our eyes are subjected to a wide range of light frequencies, including Blue Light.

Common sources of Blue Light include smartphones, laptops and tablets.

Blue Light, or High Energy Violet (HEV) light, is a type of high-energy light emitted by electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets and computers, as well as LED and fluorescent light bulbs.

Prolonged exposure to blue light can cause a number of negative effects on our eyes, including eye strain, headaches, mental fatigue and even insomnia. This is because blue light can suppress our brain’s production of melatonin; the hormone that regulates our sleep. Additionally, blue light can also cause our eyes to dry out, which can lead to discomfort and irritation.

Our blue light blocking glasses are ideal for computer use.

Our Blue light blocking glasses are designed to filter out the blue light that is emitted from electronic devices. This allows you to continue using your device or screen without experiencing the negative effects of prolonged exposure to blue light.

At Waterhaul, we design all of our products with adventure in mind. However, behind every adventure, project or passion, inevitably lies some time spent behind a screen, which is why we've paired our 100% recycled frames with Tritan Renew Blue Light Blocking lenses, to filter out 45% of high energy blue light, as well as an anti-reflective lens coating, to reduce screen glare and reflections.
