VIEWS FOR 20/20 by Dr. Mark Skowron and Dr. Michelle Skowron WHAT ARE BLUE LIGHT GLASSES? Do you already wear eyeglasses? If you spend several hours a day or more looking at a screen, you might want to consider switching to blue light glasses. Also called "blue light blocking glasses," these specs are engineered to filter out the harmful blue-violet light rays emitted from screens. Although higher-frequency blue light is naturally produced by the sun, the almost constant overdose of blue light from screens is harmful to the eyes, among other things. Blue light from screens causes headaches and eyestrain and disrupts sleep. It may also cause changes to the retina that very similar to those created by age-related macular degeneration.
