What Are Blue Light RX Lenses?

Blue light RX lenses are specially coated lenses designed to filter out the high-energy visible (HEV) blue light emitted by screens, LED lighting, and digital devices. Excessive blue light exposure can cause eye strain, headaches, and interfere with your circadian rhythm.

Our collection includes popular RX glasses like the Blue Shield RX, engineered with blue light blocking technology and durable 1.61 high-index lenses for sports and everyday wear.

Signs Your Blue Light Lenses Are Working

• Reduced eye fatigue: Your eyes feel less tired after extended screen time.
• Improved focus: You experience fewer distractions caused by glare or screen flicker.
• Better sleep quality: Falling asleep faster after evening screen use.
• Less headaches: Reduced frequency or intensity of digital eye strain headaches.

How to Test Your Blue Light RX Lenses at Home

Here are practical ways to verify if your blue light lenses are filtering effectively:

1. Screen Glare Test

Wear your glasses and look at a digital screen (phone, tablet, or computer). Without blue light protection, you might notice harsh glare or flicker. With effective lenses, the glare should soften and feel less harsh.

2. Blue Light Filter Apps

Use a blue light detection app or website to measure emitted light wavelengths. While wearing your lenses, hold a blue light detection card (or use a specialized app) up to a screen. The lenses should block a significant portion of blue light wavelengths around 400-460nm.

3. Color Tint Observation

Blue light blocking lenses often have a subtle yellow or amber tint. Inspect your lenses against a white background — the tint helps filter blue light without distorting colors.

4. Digital Eye Strain Symptom Tracking

Keep a daily log of eye comfort before and after wearing your lenses during screen time. Improvement in symptoms over days to weeks is a good sign the lenses are effective.

Maximizing the Benefits of Blue Light RX Lenses

• Wear consistently: Use your blue light RX glasses during all prolonged screen activities.
• Keep lenses clean: Smudges or scratches reduce effectiveness. Use microfiber cloths and lens cleaner.
• Limit screen brightness: Pair lenses with screen brightness adjustments and night mode.
• Take breaks: Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
