Every single day, our eyes are under constant strain. We're always on smartphones, computers, and tablets for work, school, and entertainment. The prolonged screen time exposes us to something you might not think about: blue light. While it's a natural part of the visible light spectrum, excessive exposure to the blue light can have a significant impact on our eye health and overall well-being. Thankfully, there's a simple and stylish solution: Zenni's Blokz blue light blocking glasses.
The Hidden DangerS of Blue Light
So, what exactly is blue light? Blue light is a high-energy visible (HEV) light with a short wavelength. Our eyes can't filter it out as effectively as other types of light. In the past, the main source of blue light was the sun, and our bodies used this light to regulate our sleep-wake cycles (circadian rhythm). However, with the way digital screens and LED lighting is everywhere, our exposure has increased drastically, especially in the evening.
This overexposure can lead to a range of issues, including:
Digital Eye Strain: Staring at screens can cause a host of symptoms like dry eyes, headaches, blurred vision, and general eye fatigue. This is often referred to as "computer vision syndrome."
Disrupted Sleep Patterns: Blue light can suppress the production of melatonin, the hormone that tells your body it's time to sleep. This can make it difficult to fall asleep and impact the quality of your rest. It’s also why melatonin has been sold at an incredible rate lately.
Potential Long-Term Eye Health Concerns: While more research is needed, some studies suggest that long-term exposure to blue light could be a risk factor for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that can lead to vision loss.
A Clear Solution for a Blurry Problem
This is where Zenni's Blokz lenses come in. Instead of just a coating on the surface, Zenni's advanced technology uses a blue-light-blocking polymer that is actually incorporated into the lens material itself. This means the protection won't scratch off or wear away after normal use. Zenni offers a range of Blokz lenses to fit your specific needs, whether you're a casual user or a heavy user of digital screens.
Blokz Standard: These are virtually clear lenses designed for all-day protection from both UV rays and HEV blue light. They are a great choice for everyone, from kids to adults, who want to protect their eyes from digital devices and artificial lighting.
Blokz Plus and Blokz Plus Tints: For those who spend long hours in front of screens, essentially corporate work, these lenses offer enhanced protection. Blokz Plus lenses are a step up, and the Blokz Plus Tints offer even greater blue light filtration with a variety of stylish colors, ensuring you can protect your eyes without sacrificing your personal style.
Blokz Plus Anti-Fatigue: Specifically designed for heavy screen users and gamers, these lenses feature a subtle magnification at the bottom to help ease eye fatigue during prolonged use.
