We’ve all been there, staring at a screen for hours, eyes squinting, head aching, and wondering if it’s time to admit defeat and shut the laptop. With so much of our day spent online, from work emails to evening Netflix, it’s no wonder that more of us are considering blue light glasses for relief. But do they actually help? Let’s take a closer look…

Blue light is part of the natural light spectrum, it’s the same bright, cool toned light that helps us feel awake and alert. The problem is that our screens (laptops, phones, and tablets) emit a concentrated dose of it, especially in the evening when our eyes are tired and our brains are ready for rest.

Too much exposure to blue light can contribute to digital eye strain, that tired, dry, unfocused feeling you get after staring at a screen all day. Some people even find it triggers headaches or disrupts sleep.

Blue light glasses are designed with a special coating that helps filter out part of the blue light spectrum. They don’t block all blue light (and they shouldn’t) but they do take the edge off, reducing glare and visual fatigue.

At London Mole, our blue light blocking glasses are crafted to protect your eyes and complement your style. Our popular frames such as Spy, Hollywood, and Tricky combine blue light blocking lenses with contemporary, lightweight designs, so you can look stylish while staying comfortable through back to back Zoom calls.

For many people, yes. While blue blockers aren’t a cure-all, they can make a noticeable difference if your headaches are triggered by prolonged screen use. Blue blockers help to reduce the strain on your eyes, which in turn can ease tension that leads to headaches.

If you’re working under harsh artificial lighting or constantly switching between screens, blue light glasses can give your eyes a much needed break. Pair that with regular screen breaks, good lighting, and the 20/20/20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds), and you’ve got a recipe for calmer, clearer eyes.

We believe eyewear should be as stylish as it is smart. Our fashionable blue light glasses blend modern design with practical protection, and are available in timeless shapes, lightweight materials, and colours that go with everything. Whether you’re working, scrolling, or streaming, our blue light blocking glasses are the perfect mix of function and flair.
