Blue Light Glasses in Chicago, IL
Block Blue Light with Big City Optical
Screens are everywhere — in fact, the average American spends seven hours a day looking at a device of some kind. For many, these screens are necessary for daily activities at work and school, but overexposure to them and the harmful blue light they produce can lead to vision problems and uncomfortable symptoms. At Big City Optical, we have what you need to filter blue light and avoid its resulting symptoms.
What is Blue Light?
Blue light is a high energy, short wavelength light emitted from most light sources. Our widespread daily use of mobile phones, televisions, computer monitors, and tablets has resulted in our eyes being bombarded by blue light on a regular basis. This has led to a rise in computer vision syndrome, a condition that is characterized by excessive screen use.
Symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome
Symptoms of computer vision syndrome include persistent eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes, and neck and shoulder pain, all of which are exacerbated by prolonged digital screen use. These problems interfere with essential daily tasks at work or school, and can negatively impact leisurely activities like reading, sports, and video games. It is essential to seek help from an eye care professional if you’re experiencing these symptoms, as they can lead to more serious conditions if left unmanaged.
Blue Light Glasses offer Long-Term Relief
Blue light glasses are designed to alleviate the symptoms of computer vision syndrome by filtering out the blue light emitted from screens. Wearing glasses with blue light lenses makes daily routines, like working on a computer or scrolling through a smartphone, more comfortable, reducing discomfort and improving focus. These lenses can fit into most frames, and our expert staff will tailor your lenses to your prescription during an eye exam.
