Blue Control Lenses in Florence: What They Are and Where to Find Them

In our many years of experience as an optical shop in Florence, we have noticed a conscious increase in the purchase of blue control lenses.

Using blue control lenses is undoubtedly an excellent habit that contributes to a healthy life and maximum respect for our eyes, especially during long days of working in front of the PC.

Modern life, in fact, increasingly requires us to spend many hours in front of screens, not only for work but also for study or during moments of relaxation. Nowadays, looking at the screen of an electronic device has become the norm, but too often, the consequences for our eyes are not considered.

It is well-known, in fact, that spending too many hours in front of a screen means being exposed to an excess of blue light, which is the typical light emitted by LED or LCD screens of PCs and smartphones.

Blue light is a form of electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum that ranges between 380 and 500 nm. It is particularly harmful between 390 and 455 nm.
Let's see together what blue light does to the eyes and how to protect yourself using blue control lenses.

Blue light lenses are essential for protecting our eyes from harmful blue light coming from electronic devices.

In fact, not all blue light is harmful: the light from the sun partly serves our body to regulate the circadian rhythm (i.e., the sleep/wake cycle), while the light from electronic devices is harmful (especially if it is between 390 and 455
nm.).

Therefore, the quality of the treatments performed on the lenses is very important. Blue lenses are precisely for cutting and filtering only the harmful blue light wavelengths, while they must transmit the part of blue light necessary for the body.

Blue light is annoying because it compromises the accommodative system, creating
difficulty in finding the focal plane.

All this creates eye strain and, according to recent studies, prolonged exposure to harmful blue light over time can lead to macular degeneration or other related pathologies at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium.

Many of our customers often ask us when to use blue light glasses.

At Bottega di Sguardi in Florence, experienced opticians, we recommend using blue light glasses when facing electronic devices that emit wavelengths belonging to harmful blue-violet light for the visual system.

When talking about blue control lenses, we are talking about lenses that have a specific use, therefore providing comfort and protection when worn in front of devices that emit harmful blue light.

The pro is precisely enclosed in this great advantage, which is the protection for our eyes, while from a disadvantage point of view, it can be stated that there are no cons regarding this type of lens.

Therefore, when discussing the pros and cons of blue control lenses, we can state that if used correctly, there are no contraindications.

As we know, exposure to high amounts of blue light is one of the main causes of digital eye strain.

It therefore becomes very important to protect our eyes by providing comfort with glasses equipped with lenses that protect against harmful blue light.

These are lenses with a special filter that ensures comfortable vision and helps protect against the harmful effects caused by excessive exposure.

For this reason, blue light glasses are also called PC and Office glasses,
representing a real panacea for our eyes. The well-being obtained by
wearing this type of lenses in the office is immediately perceived as relief for the
eyes, reducing problems such as red eyes, burning, and eye discomfort.

However, when talking about relaxing lenses for PC, generally reference is made to a
product different from blue protect lenses.

When choosing glasses with relaxing lenses for PC, the best thing to do is to
rely on a team of experts like those at Bottega di Sguardi in Florence who, in the fitting room, will understand your needs and the type of fatigue
and/or visual stress through a thorough examination, in order to advise you on the best tailored solution for you.
Obviously, if blue control treatment is added to such a lens, we will optimally complete the glasses.
