Blue lens tints are designed to reduce the amount of blue light entering your eyes. Blue light comes from natural sunlight and is also emitted by screens, like computers, phones, and tablets. Wearing blue-tinted lenses can help ease eye strain, especially during extended screen time, and may improve comfort in certain lighting conditions.

Here’s a list of conditions blue lens tints may help with:

Eye strain (especially from screen use): Blue lenses can filter out blue light, which may reduce digital eye strain.
Photosensitivity: Blue tints can help people who are sensitive to bright light by reducing glare.
Sleep disturbances: Blue light is linked to disrupting sleep cycles. Wearing blue lenses in the evening may improve sleep quality.
Migraine or headache triggers: For some people, blue light can trigger headaches or migraines. Blue-tinted lenses can help reduce those triggers.

They don’t “fix” anything, but they can help make these conditions easier to manage.
