Blue light glasses, also known as computer glasses or screen glasses, are becoming increasingly popular among the digital generation. After all, we spend more time using digital devices than ever before, both for work and recreation.
In fact, it’s estimated that we spend an average of 9 hours a day using laptops, smartphones, computers and tablets. During this time, our eyes are continuously working hard, without any type of protection.
That’s where blue light glasses come in.
Specifically designed with the digital generation in mind, ZOOMA’s collection of blue light glasses efficiently protects against overexposure to blue light, which results in an all-round increase in our well-being.

Blue light refers to a portion of the light spectrum that can be seen by human eyes. At moderate levels, it’s beneficial for us, but overexposure can cause a variety of healthy problems.
Blue-violet light can typically be found within the 380-500 nm part of the light spectrum. It’s naturally emitted by the sun, and artificially emitted by digital screens. Research has found that blue light between 415 nm to 455 nm on the light spectrum is most damaging to our eyes.
Blue light surrounds us in our everyday life. In fact, the reason we see the sky as being blue is because of this type of light. When these short lightwaves from the sun collide with air molecules, it creates what our eyes interpret as an infinite blue sky.
Blue light is also responsible for regulating the circadian rhythms of our bodies: the sleep/wake cycles. That’s why, when we’re overexposed to blue light, especially at night, our sleep routines can be seriously affected, and computer vision syndrome symptoms might appear.
