Stare at a screen all day? Shop blue light glasses on sale this week.
TL;DR: Help relieve eye strain with a pair of blue light glasses from Swanwick for up to 28% off.
If you're like any one else in the 21st century, you likely spend the better part of your day staring at a screen. You procrastinate every morning scrolling through your Instagram or Twitter feed, spend the day at work hunched over a computer, and reserve a considerable chunk of your free time for catching up on Netflix's latest slate of titles. On average, many of us spend nearly 12 hours staring at screens and exposing our eyes to blue light. (Yikes!)
Granted, blue light isn't necessarily harmful. It's the prolonged exposure to it that can lead to digital eye strain, dry, red, and itchy eyes, insomnia, migraines, nausea — the list goes on. But given that technology is now an inextricable part of our life, the least we can do is mitigate the effects of blue light to save our perpetually tired retinas.
This is where blue light glasses come into play. We've rounded up our picks for the best blue light blocking glasses, but we're always hunting for a stellar deal. Take your pick from these options from Swanwick, which are all on sale this week:
Designed to be worn all day, every day, these specs are outfitted with CR-39 lenses, which combat harmful blue light but still let some healthy blue light (around 450-500nm) in to regulate your circadian rhythm and help improve alertness and memory function. They come with cellulose acetate frames, rendering them lightweight yet durable, perfect for everyday wear. Snag a pair for $89 — 18% off the usual $109.
Like the pair above but want them in crystal frames? Here's your shot. Grab a pair on sale for $74.99 — 15% off the usual $89.
If you're the type to regularly pull off all-nighters, pick up these glasses to relieve eye strain and get better sleep. Wear them for at least one to two hours before you hit the hay to optimize your snooze time. Just like the pair above, these also come with CR-39 lenses and acetate frames. Oh, and don't be fooled by the name. You can wear them during the day, too. Usually $69, this pair is now on sale for only $49.
