Blue Blocker lenses are designed to filter out specific wavelengths of light, particularly High Energy Visible (HEV) blue light. This particular wavelength can be especially harmful to the retina. While it's present in all light sources, including natural sunlight, it's emitted in significantly higher concentrations from the sun.

Additionally, HEV blue light is also emitted from artificial sources like compact fluorescent bulbs and LED screens, such as those on your laptop, tablet, phone, or TV.

It's important to be aware that both natural and artificial light sources can expose your eyes to HEV blue light. Blue Blocker lenses are designed to reduce your exposure to this potentially harmful light, providing added protection for your eye health Starting at $15.95, our blue blockers include anti-scratch and anti-glare coatings.

Blue light is emitted both indoors by modern digital devices and outdoors by natural sunlight. Prolonged exposure to blue light, particularly from screens like computers or smartphones, can contribute to issues such as headaches and eye fatigue. Additionally, extensive use of blue light-emitting devices late at night can disrupt the body's natural circadian rhythm, potentially affecting sleep quality.

Payne's Blue Blockers are crafted using advanced lens technology to effectively filter and reduce exposure to harmful blue light. Our Blue Blockers are designed to block up to 98% of blue light in the 400-420nm range, which includes the most harmful part of the blue light spectrum. This helps minimize eye strain, improve visual comfort, and reduce potential sleep disturbances caused by blue light exposure.

Blocking blue light is an important feature to consider adding to glasses intended for computer use or all-day wear. Our Blue Blockers effectively filter blue light while maintaining a cosmetically clear appearance with virtually no color distortion.
