Evidence shows that exposure to blue light potentially disrupts our natural sleep rhythms. Sleep is especially important for children, so minimizing blue light exposure in the evening is a must.
Long-term exposure to blue light contributes to accelerating retinal aging (Marie et al., Cell Death and Disease, 2018) (Jarrett et al., 2012). Kids’ blue light glasses are also an excellent option for kids who spend a lot of time studying at a computer, as blue light causes uncomfortable glare and may contribute to symptoms of eye strain.

Finding the best lens index
A lens’s index measures how thick it is, and strong prescriptions can be made much thinner with a higher index lens. We usually want thinner lenses to keep eyeglasses lightweight, and computer glasses for kids are often worn for long periods of time. Choosing the highest index available for your child’s prescription will keep them comfortable during those long evening homework sessions.
