Opticians suggest wearing your glasses all the time. If you are a first time user, wearing glasses all the time helps you in adjusting to glasses faster. It takes time to adjust to your glasses. So wearing them all the time makes sense. What about blue light glasses? Should these glasses be worn all the time?

Blue light glasses can be prescription glasses or non-prescription glasses. For non-prescription glasses, you don’t really require much adjustment as they don’t affect your vision much. For prescription glasses with blue light filter glasses, you are required to wear them all the time to get used to them.

What about after adjusting to the lenses? Does wearing them all the time have any effect?

Blue lights and their effect

Blue light is a form of high energy visible light. This kind of light is harmful to your eyes if you are exposed to it for a long period of time. This light is emitted from various sources like LED lights, digital devices and natural sunlight.

Blue light is an indicator of daytime for the brain. This light helps induce wakefulness. It is harder for you to fall asleep with lights on. A limited amount of blue light is good for your mind. It helps you in staying alert and increases dopamine secretion in your brain and you feel elated. 

Now, imagine yourself in these blue lights all the time, like more than 12 hours. Your body feels tired but your mind is alert, fully awake. You will feel fatigued, irritated because of not being able to fall asleep. 

Excess of anything is bound to cause issues for your body. A little bit of blue light is okay for your body but not a lot of it. And in today’s digital era, we are exposed to these blue light emission 24*7. Most of which you have no control over.

When you are buying spectacles online, check out the best quality of blue light glasses and get them soon. You can get them in various style and shades or with any type of prescription.

How often should you wear your blue light glasses?

If you are suffering from insomnia because of exposure to blue light emission, then you should wear your glasses all the time. Only by blocking every amount of blue light emission can you be able to regulate your sleep cycle.

Most blue light glasses only block about 60-90 per cent of blue light emission. These glasses are not that helpful with insomnia but can reduce the strain and fatigue you feel after working long hours on computers.

If you do not have sleep issues, wearing your computer glasses only for computers can also work. You might feel sluggish in absence of blue light, especially if you are a homebody. Getting a bit of sun is good for your health. 

Wearing blue light glasses all the time can only prove fruitful in reducing the strain in your eyes, eye fatigue, curing your insomnia and reducing your headaches. The amount of blue light emission from LED lights and digital devices you are getting exposed to is much higher than the amount you naturally should be exposed to. You should wear blue light glasses all the time to reduce this blue light intake. 

However, you should not completely block blue light from natural sources. You should expose yourself to the morning light for a few hours. This will uplift your mood and make your day a bit brighter.
