Blue light lenses, we’ve all heard of them, but do they really live up to the hype?
The Voice had a chat with owner and optical dispenser, Matt Wilson at Bellarine Eyecare to get some expert industry insights on the matter and are pleased to report that they are big fans of these seemingly magical lenses.
If you have no idea what we are talking about, blue light lenses act to filter harsh blue light rays, helping to protect your eyes from the negative effects blue light exposure can cause.
“Blue light exposure is unavoidable due the technological age we are living amongst, blue light causes excess eye strain, fatigue and can even affect your ability to fall asleep” said Matt Wilson.
Bellarine Eyecare recommends blue light filters are for all gamers, office workers, students and those who spend extended hours in front of a digital screen. Effective protection from blue light can enhance your visual contrast, particularly when looking at a digital device and
aid in overall visual comfort.
Latest lens technologies mean that a blue light filter can be incorporated into your prescription glasses. HOYA lenses also have the capacity to pair their award-winning anti-reflective Diamond Finish coating with their BlueControl blue light filter coating to give your
glasses the highest quality protection from all thing’s life.
Blue light filters aren’t just limited to everyday glasses wearers, in fact they are encouraged for anyone who has high levels of blue light exposure. A prescription is unnecessary for you to be able to wear blue light filters, however, if you haven’t had your eyes tested in the last
two years, we recommend you do this too. Matt and his team can fit BlueControl lenses to any frame of your choice to match your individual style, they even come complete with a 12-month scratch proof warranty!
If you find your eyes are feeling extra fatigued after a long day in front of a screen, have a chat with your local optical experts at Bellarine Eyecare! They will have you fitted with a stylish pair of frames with BlueControl coating, providing your eyes with extra comfort in
this digital world. Your eyes will thank you for it!
