A newly launched eyewear product aims to protect the public’s eyes from the effects of blue light.

Designed to block out the blue light that comes from digital screens, Ace & Tate’s Screen Glasses are available with non-prescription lenses that are made with a Blue Light Filter to increase eye comfort.

The lenses block 94% of short-wavelength blue light, reducing the strain on user’s eyes.

Although current research doesn’t prove that digital screens emit enough blue light to be harmful, in excess the blue light can cause increased light scatter and mis-focus. It is a situation that Ace & Tate believes can easily be improved upon.

Customers who need a prescription can add the Blue Light Filter to their regular glasses when ordering from Ace & Tate online or in store.

Ace & Tate told OT: “We are always busy reinventing ourselves to remain relevant to our consumers.

“Screen Glasses act as sister to our Blue Light Filter. It’s the perfect solution for everyone who wants to protect their eyes from blue rays but doesn’t need prescription frames.

“This new addition to the family eliminates glare and its big benefit is that it increases comfort for people who look at digital screens a lot — all of us, basically.”

Because the glasses have a blue tint, they are not recommended for those whose work depends on colour accuracy (eg digital designers or photo editors).
