Fit and Comfort
Fit is one of the most important things to look for when buying glasses, blue light or not. “Glasses should fit snugly and be lightweight,” says Dora Adamopoulos, OD, Medical Advisor to The Vision Council. “Non-slip nose pieces and temples are must-haves to keep your eyewear in place while running around.” You can tell that your glasses are a bad fit if they slide down your face or if they’re too tight on your head and temples, which can cause additional pain.
Glare
Glare from screens is one of the causes of eye strain, or computer vision syndrome, according to the American Optometric Association.“People should look for anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare in addition to the blue-light reduction for optimal comfort and effect,” Dr. Adamopoulos says. You can also mitigate the effects of glare and eye strain by following the 20-20-20 rule, which Dr. Adamopoulos describes: “taking breaks every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.”
Tint
Blue light glasses typically have a light yellow tint to their lenses, with some styles having a more noticeable tint. Bradley Katz, MD, Ph.D., a neuro-ophthamologist at the University of Utah’s Moran Eye Center and CEO of Axon Optics, notes that ultimately the tinting doesn’t make much of a difference as “it's still very difficult to know what you're getting with blue light glasses, no matter what the tint looks like.” Dr. Katz also recommends migraine glasses, which have a pink tint, which...

What is blue light?
Blue lightis the light emitted by blue wavelengths, which account for most of the light we encounter in our daily lives, not only from our devices but also from the sun. Blue light has the lowest wavelength on the spectrum of visible light, which means it transfers the highest energy. While blue light has some benefits—such as higher alertness and mood elevation—most of us are more aware of the potential consequences of blue light exposure. Dry eye, eye strain, and headaches are some of the m...
Do blue light glasses work?
While many people—including many of our testers—noticed a difference in eye strain and headaches while wearing blue light glasses, overall testing on blue light glasses has been mixed. A systematic review conducted in 2021 found that overall results remain mixed, with no definitive proof that blue light blocking glasses help with the negative effects of blue light exposure. Additional studiesfound that participants wearing blue light glasses and placebo glasses reported very little difference...
How can I tell if my glasses block blue light?
Being able to tell how much blue light your lenses are blocking can be a little tricky. “You can’t tell how much blue light a pair of glasses blocks unless they are tested with specialized equipment,” says Dr. Zhu. “This is an issue because most of the industry is unregulated and it’s impossible to know exactly how much blue light a pair of glasses is blocking.” If you’re purchasing your glasses from an eyeglass store or manufacturer, it might be helpful to ask for the information on your gla...
