When to wear blue light glasses<\/span><\/h2>\n

The whole point of the blue light lens coating is to reduce the amount of blue-violet light your eyes are exposed to from the sun and digital screens. So, the best time to wear blue light glasses is when you\u2019re exposed to blue-violet light \u2014 i.e., when you’re exposed to sunlight and while you\u2019re watching TV, scrolling through your smartphone or tablet, or working on a computer.<\/p>\n

The slightly yellow-tinted coating on the lenses counteracts the blue-violet light. As a result, the amount of blue-violet light that reaches your retinas (in the back of the eyes) is minimized and provides you with more protection and comfortable screen viewing.<\/p>\n

With that said, blue light glasses are fine to be worn even when you\u2019re not exposed to digital screens (which is rare these days). As stated before, a blue light coating can only help you \u2014 wearing blue light glasses all the time won’t hurt your eyes.<\/p>\n
