Intro – Protect eyes from computer blue light
Why is this so? There are two major reasons to this. First is the harmful blue light and the glare from screen. Second is about eye accommodation.
1. Harmful blue light and glare
By now we have a common understanding that computer light source is considered artificial light from LED. In this light source, there is high intensity of blue ray, wavelength of range 380-453nm. Don’t get us wrong, this ray also exists in the sun light, where it acts as an indicator to tell our body about day and night. However, the intensity from computer screen is way higher, thus causing harm to our eyes. Thus, computer glasses with the function to cut away the ray will help to reduce the harm the ray does to us.

However, if you are looking for a single pair that can work well for every range of vision, you might be better to stay with the distant power with blue coating lens. At least that helps to cut off the harmful blue rays.
