Frequently Asked Questions

What is blue light?

Blue light is a color of visible light with the greatest energy and shortest wavelengths, which are produced by digital devices such as computers and mobile phones. With its high energy, blue light has the potential to reach deeper into your eyes to the retina. Prolonged exposure to blue light has been linked to eyestrain, an increased chance of macular degeneration, and disruption of the sleep cycle.

What are blue light lenses?

Blue light lenses are eyeglass lenses designed to filter a portion of high-energy visible blue light, which is emitted by the sun and also by digital screens, LED lighting, and other artificial sources. BeamSpecs offers blue light protection as an optional lens feature on its frames.

What do blue light lenses do?

Blue light lenses are made to reduce the amount of certain short-wavelength blue light that reaches your eyes. Many people choose them for screen-heavy days, comfort while working on computers, and reducing exposure to evening light that may affect sleep. BeamSpecs positions them as an option for people spending long hours on digital devices.

Do blue light glasses really work?

They may help some people feel more comfortable during long screen sessions, but major reviews have found limited high-quality evidence that blue-light-filtering lenses significantly reduce digital eye strain compared with regular clear lenses. The strongest evidence today suggests the results are mixed, and any benefit is often subjective or dependent on the individual.

Can blue light lenses reduce digital eye strain?

They might help some wearers, but digital eye strain is usually caused by more than blue light alone. Reduced blinking, dry eyes, glare, poor posture, long stretches of screen time, and an outdated prescription are all major contributors. BeamSpecs also points to long screen time and reduced blinking as part of the problem.

Why do my eyes feel tired after looking at screens?

Screen fatigue is commonly linked to how we use devices rather than blue light by itself. People tend to blink less while staring at screens, which can lead to dryness, irritation, blurred vision, and headaches. BeamSpecs notes that blink rate can drop during screen use, which is consistent with broader eye-care guidance.

Does blue light from screens damage your eyes?

Current major ophthalmology guidance says the blue light from digital devices has not been shown to damage the eyes in the same way many ads suggest. The amount from screens is much lower than the amount in natural daylight. Concerns about long-term retinal effects are still studied, but the strongest current consumer guidance does not support panic over everyday screen exposure.

Do blue light lenses help with headaches?

They can help some people feel more comfortable, but headaches from screen use are often related to dryness, glare, poor ergonomics, or vision correction issues rather than blue light alone. If headaches are frequent, an eye exam is a better next step than relying on blue light lenses alone.

Are blue light lenses the same as computer glasses?

Not always. Some computer glasses are made with a specific prescription or lens design optimized for intermediate screen distance. Blue light lenses are a filter or coating feature. You can have one without the other, or combine both depending on your needs.

Do I need blue light lenses if I already use night mode?

Night mode and warm-screen settings already reduce some blue light from your devices, especially at night. For many people, that is a smart first step. Blue light lenses can still be an added preference, but they are not the only way to cut evening blue light exposure.

Who should consider blue light lenses?

Blue light lenses may be a good option for people who spend long hours on computers, tablets, or phones, especially if they prefer an added layer of comfort during screen-heavy days or want help reducing evening light exposure. They are best thought of as a lifestyle lens upgrade, not a cure-all.

What makes BeamSpecs lenses better?

We set out to develop computer glasses that we would wear ourselves, so we only looked for the finest – and we’ve discovered it. Our lenses are made of blue light-filtering material rather than a reflecting coating. We use premium materials to produce high-quality eyeglasses. Our glasses can filter up to 95% of blue light while maintaining transparency. Our lenses also eliminate glare and feature a scratch-resistant new coating technology that keeps your lens free of dirt, scratches and smudges.

Are there different sizes?

All of our faces are unisex and intended to fit most face types. The dimensions of each model are provided in the product description, such as 52-18-145. Measuring units are millimeters and indicate lens width, nose bridge length, and temple (arm) length, respectively.

Tip – Compare these dimensions with your favorite glasses or sunglasses to discover a comparable fit.

What is your return policy?

We provide free exchanges and additional recommendations based on your current fit. We also provide free returns (just pay the $15 shipping fee) for all of our eyewear after delivery for a full 30 days. Email us at sales@beamspecs.com if you would like to request a return or exchange.
