Do Blue light Glasses need tinted frames?
The graphic illustrates that clear lenses typically offer less blue light filtration compared to tinted lenses. This difference in filtration capacity can be crucial depending on your usage scenario and personal preferences. Here's a breakdown of the differences:
- Clear lenses may provide some level of blue light blocking but generally less than tinted lenses. This could be adequate for daytime use or for users who have mild concerns about blue light exposure.
- Tinted lenses are designed to block a higher percentage of blue light, which might be preferable for users who are more sensitive to blue light, especially during evening hours.
Choosing the Right Blue Light Glasses for You
When deciding on the most suitable blue light glasses, consider the following:
- The amount of time you spend in front of screens, especially during evening hours.
- Your sensitivity to light, particularly blue light from digital devices.
- Personal comfort with lens tinting, as some users prefer clear lenses for aesthetic reasons or for more accurate color perception during tasks.
Conclusion
The decision to choose blue light glasses with clear or tinted lenses depends on your individual needs and how you intend to use them. Whether you opt for clear or tinted, both types of lenses serve to reduce your exposure to blue light from screens and artificial lighting.
