LIST: 5 anti-radiation eyeglasses available locally

Did you know that staring at computer screen, cellphone, tablet, or television for long periods exposes our vision to blue light? This kind of light carries both positive and negative effects on the eyes.

First, what is blue light?

According to Healthline, “blue light has very short, high-energy waves.” It's also less strong and a bit longer compared to ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Blue light is highly present whenever you use any electronic gadgets such as computers, laptops, cellphones, tablets, and television. These digital devices depend on light-emitting-diode technology or what we call LED, which holds large amounts of blue light.

As most industries have adapted to the new work-from-home setup, it is inevitable for some of the working class to avoid blue light exposure.

Negative impacts of blue light include eyestrain, dry eye, blurry vision, and sleep disruption for some.

Luckily, there are ways on how to limit our vision from blue light such as using screen filters, minimizing screen time, and wearing blue-light-blocking eyewear with yellow-tinted or anti-reflective lenses.

If you're looking for affordable eyewear to save your vision from blue light, here's a list of local eyewear brands that carry anti-radiation eyeglasses.
