Blue Comfort Lenses

Blue Comfort lens coatings are specially engineered to minimise the harmful effects of blue light rays that penetrate your eyes by incorporating a blue light filter on your prescription lenses.

Over the past decade, our screen time use has grown exponentially, now encompassing a lot of our work and schooling lives. While this exposure is now a necessary part of daily life in most cases, it can also put our eye health at risk due to the constant emission of blue light from our devices, contributing to eye fatigue, dry eyes, eye strain, sleep disturbances, and other eye-related issues.

Blue light is the dominant light emitted from electronic devices, and it has the closest frequency to harmful UV rays. It has a short wavelength, which allows it to easily pass through the cornea and lens, and potentially harm the light-sensitive cells in our retina. Blue Comfort lenses can help protect your eyes from blue light rays, promoting eye health, providing comfortable and relaxed vision, and enhancing contrast perception when using electronic devices on a daily basis.

By reducing blue light exposure, Blue Comfort lenses may also support your sleep quality. Blue light exposure in the evening can disrupt the body's natural circadian rhythm, making it more difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. The blue light emitted by electronic devices can suppress the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep. Blue Comfort lenses can reduce blue light exposure, allowing the body to produce melatonin more effectively, promoting restful sleep. Additionally, Blue Comfort lenses may help reduce eye strain, which can lead to headaches, blurry vision, and dry eyes, by filtering out high-energy blue light that can cause discomfort and fatigue.
