How Can Glasses Protect Our Eyes From Harmful rays?
The pandemic has changed our lives. Things have turned to a great extent. People have been caged in their houses for a very long time. During the lockdown, people were not allowed to step outside their houses. Thus during this time, online work has increased.
People started doing more online shopping than traditional ones.
During this time, the screen time has increased. People are spending more time in front of computer screens and mobiles. Thus the eyewear industry has experienced a growth in its online services. People shop for prescription glasses online and get them delivered at home.
Blue Light Glasses
It is a debate whether blue light or lights emitting from the screen are harmful or not. Some say that blue light is not harmful and some say that they are harmful. So to avoid this confusion it is better that we take care of our eyes and for that, we can use blue light glasses for our safety.
Our sleep cycle often gets disturbed and we suffer from insomnia. We use our mobiles during the night and also have some late-night work sitting in front of our computer screens.
Thus wearing blue light glasses might be useful and can reduce our eye strain. Even wearing blue light glasses during the day can be useful as it protects our eyes from the harmful UV-A and UV-B rays of the sun.
Blue light glasses can be used in all frames. People might have doubts that these are only available in some specific frames. But that is not true. We can have blue light lenses in round tortoiseshell glasses to black square glasses. We can have a blue light filter in all the glasses of our choice.
Anti Reflective Coating
Anti-reflective coating helps to block the reflections that affect our vision. Our eyeglasses look clear and help in better vision. This coating is very useful for high-index lenses as they reflect more light than plastic lenses.
When this coating is applied to the photochromic lenses, this increases the clarity and comfort of the lenses. AR coating is also beneficial for sunglasses as it removes glare from sunlight reflecting in our eyes. This coating is generally applied to the back of the lenses because there is no benefit to eliminate reflections from the front end of dark-tinted lenses.
All this protection will help us to keep our eyes safe as it is very important to protect our eyes from all kinds of harmful rays, infections, germs, and many more. This will help to reduce our eye strain and help in preventing the water sports in the glasses. Some help in preventing water and oil at the same time which is an added advantage of wearing these lenses.
As working from home, attending online classes, virtual meets are common these days and glasses are necessary to people with or without prescription, it is our responsibility to take proper care and precautions of our eyes. It is also advised to limit the screen time whenever it is possible so that we can protect our eyes.
