5 of the Best Blue-Light Blocking Glasses for Your Tech Job

The typical tech worker spends about 1,700 hours each year in front of a computer screen, and research has linked significant amounts of screen time to insomnia and headaches.

Research has also shown that blue-colored light emanating from computer screens is the main cause of these health effects. In response, a number of companies have developed glasses that are designed to block out blue light. These products are said to reduce eye strain and help the wearer get a better night’s sleep.

If you’re worried that these glasses are big, bulky and ugly, don’t be. Many of the blue-light blocking glasses available are also quite fashionable. If you spend a lot of time in front of a computer screen for your job, consider the following list of blue-light-blocking glasses that score highly with reviewers.

5 Glasses that Can Help You Do Your Job Better

1) Gamma Ray 003 

Reviewers say these very affordable blue-light blocking glasses are extremely comfortable, almost to the point of being unnoticeable. A number of reviewers have said these glasses got rid of the headaches were having every day due staring for hours at one or more computer screens. Others have said the glasses have eased the physical pressure and strain they were feeling on their eyes. One reviewer went so far as to call these glasses “life-changing”.

2) PROSPEK Premium Computer Glasses 

Some office workers of a certain age use reading glasses, and unfortunately, there aren’t many non-prescription blue-light-blocking reading glasses. These PROSPEK glasses come in a range of magnification levels.

Reviews for these glasses have also been overwhelmingly positive. One reviewer said they spend 7 to 9 hours each day in front of a screen and noticed a considerable improvement with the PROSPEK glasses. another reviewer said the glasses got rid of their headaches and blurry vision.

3) J+S Vision Blue Light Shield Computer Reading/Gaming Glasses 

If comfort is your biggest issue, you might want to go with these light and flexible blue-light blocking glasses. An analysis of online reviews has indicated that these J+S Vision glasses are highly rated in terms of comfort.

One reviewer said they could barely feel them when they’re on. Another reviewer said they felt a significant change in their vision since buying the glasses. And yet another reviewer said the glasses significantly reduced their eye pain.

4) Gamma RAY Blue Light Blocking Computer Gaming & TV Glasses 

After spending all day in front of a computer screen, a lot of tech and office workers go home only to stare at the screens on their digital devices. According to reviews, these amber-tinted glasses however highly effective at blocking out blue light, and therefore ideal for wearing in the evening.

Because they are amber-tinted, they do draw a bit more attention than other blue light blocking glasses, and so home use might be preferred by those not seeking to make an inadvertent fashion statement.

5) Cyxus Blue Light Filter Computer Glasses 

If you regularly suffer from headaches due to eye strain, you may want to pick up a pair of these glasses as they are frequently cited when it comes to minimizing headaches. one reviewer said she was in serious pain before buying the glasses, which turned out to be a “quick fix.”
