Blue light glasses vs blue light contact lenses

Blue light glasses, also known as blue-light filtering lenses, are prescription glasses or non-prescription options designed to block blue light exposure.

They can:

• Filter some wavelengths of light from digital screens

• Reduce eye fatigue caused by prolonged exposure

• Help support sleep quality by limiting disruption to your circadian rhythm

But they also have drawbacks:

• They only work when you remember to wear them

• They do not protect your eyes from UV rays

• They can feel restrictive if you do not like wearing eyeglasses

For anyone who wears contact lenses every day, switching between glasses and contacts just for screen time is not always practical.

This is where blue light contact lenses offer a major advantage. Instead of needing to wear blue light glasses on top of your prescription, you can get all-day blue light protection built directly into your contacts.

Blue light glasses can help, but they are limited. For all-day, fuss-free eye protection, blue light contact lenses such as 1 Day Acuvue Oasys MAX are a game-changer.

If you wear contacts, upgrading to a lens with a blue light filter means clearer vision, better comfort and stronger eye health, without needing to keep track of another pair of glasses.
