In today's digital world, prolonged screen time is almost inevitable. However, the blue light emitted by screens can lead to digital eye strain and disrupt sleep patterns. Laurier Optical understands the importance of protecting your eyes, which is why we offer blue light blocking lenses. Let's delve into the science behind these lenses:


Understanding Blue Light


Blue light is part of the visible light spectrum and is emitted by digital devices like smartphones, computers, and tablets. While some exposure to blue light is necessary for regulating our sleep-wake cycle (circadian rhythm), excessive exposure, especially at night, can have adverse effects.


How Blue Light Affects Sleep


Exposure to blue light in the evening can interfere with our natural sleep patterns by suppressing the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep. This can lead to difficulty falling asleep and poor sleep quality.


Digital Eye Strain


Blue light can also contribute to digital eye strain, characterized by symptoms like eye fatigue, headaches, and dry eyes. Blue light blocking lenses work to reduce the amount of blue light that reaches your eyes, thus alleviating these symptoms.


How Blue Light Blocking Lenses Work


Blue light blocking lenses are designed to filter out or absorb a portion of the blue light emitted by screens. They use specialized coatings or materials that target specific wavelengths of blue light while allowing other colors to pass through.


Benefits of Blue Light Blocking Lenses


Blue light blocking lenses can improve sleep quality, reduce eye strain, and protect your eyes from potential long-term effects of excessive blue light exposure.


Laurier Optical's Blue Light Solutions


Laurier Optical offers a range of blue light blocking eyewear options, including prescription and non-prescription glasses. Our knowledgeable staff can help you find the right blue light eyewear to suit your needs.

What People Say

“I came to this store to get prescription glasses made on the spot. They were able to make my glasses really quickly and even made sure that they were adjusted just right. But, the highlight of my visit here was the customer service. The people were just so nice and friendly--it was such a pleasure to meet them. I walked out very excited to tell others about this store for the quality of the glasses and the service.”
