Eye strain ends here.

Of course! If you have 20/20 vision and don’t need to wear prescription glasses, you can still suffer from digital eye strain due to prolonged screen use. Blue light blocking glasses can help to make looking at screens easier on your eyes by eliminating glare and filtering out high-energy visible light from your screen. Think about it this way: sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun's UV rays, computer glasses protect your eyes from the blue light from screens.

Blue light is not just emitted by computers and LED lights - it’s actually all around us. In fact, sunlight is the main source of blue light. When you walk outside during the daytime, you’re exposed to blue light.

Light is measured in wavelength, the units of which are nanometers (nm) and millimetres (mm). Visible light has a wavelength range in the region of 400 to 760nm, with high energy visible (HEV) light falling somewhere between 400 - 500nm. It’s called high energy visible light because the blue/violet band of the visible spectrum has a particularly high frequency.

Our eyes are not really designed to be good at blocking blue light. That’s why blue light has been linked to something called Computer Vision Syndrome, a condition which encompasses a range of symptoms including headaches, blurred vision and eye strain amongst others.

Blue light can also disrupt your natural sleep cycle. Blue light tells your body when we need to be awake - at sunrise for example. However, when you are exposed to artificial blue light it can affect your physiology in unnatural ways. Studies show that looking at screens can interfere with the production of melatonin, the chemical responsible for helping you sleep.

Glare emitted from different sources of light such as digital screens, artificial light and even sunlight. It usually makes you squint your eyes and can give you a headache - especially if you view bright screens in a dark room. It’s one of the main causes of Digital Eye Strain (DES) and can lead to symptoms such as dry eyes, blurred vision, and headaches.

LUMES lenses have an Anti-Glare Coating which reduces the buildup of reflections on the front surface of the lens and prevents 99.9% of glare from entering your eyes. This keeps your eyes feeling relaxed and sharpens the optical quality of your screen.

Tip: we always recommend doing computer work in a brightly lit room to reduce the unpleasant effects of glare.

Yes! We designed LUMES to be comfortable to wear at all times—whether you’re at home, the office or on the go. Of course, you’ll see the real benefits of our glasses when you’re in front of your laptop, tablet or phone.

Our frames are specifically designed to fit a wide variety of face shapes. You can find the measurements of our frames on each individual product page. They will be listed in the format lens diameter - bridge width - arm length (e.g. 52 - 20 - 145). All measurements are represented in millimetres.

We encourage you to try out our Instagram Virtual Try On which can be found on the product pages to see which style best suits your face shape!
