Blue Light Glasses

Every Auresta frame is a blue light glass with a warm amber lens rather than a clear one — because a clear lens reflects a little blue light, while an amber lens absorbs a lot of it. The tint filters the 400–500 nm band that monitors, phones and LED lighting push out hardest, lifts contrast and takes the harsh edge off a bright screen.

All five frames share the same optics: a nine-layer anti-reflective coating, full UV400 protection for when you step outside, and a lightweight acetate build at around 19 g. They differ only in shape and colour, so pick the one you would actually wear.

We will not tell you blue light glasses cure eye strain — the evidence does not support that claim. What amber lenses do support is glare, contrast, and sleep when worn in the evening.

Questions

Straight answers

Do blue light glasses actually work?

Honestly: it depends what you want them to do. The 2023 Cochrane review of 17 randomised trials found blue-light-filtering lenses may not reduce eye strain from computer use, and we are not going to tell you otherwise. What amber lenses like ours demonstrably do is filter blue light in the 400–500 nm range, raise contrast and cut glare on a bright screen, and — per Burkhart & Phelps (2009) — support sleep quality when worn in the hours before bed.

What colour lens blocks the most blue light?

Tint depth is what matters, not marketing. A clear lens with a coating reflects a small share of blue light. An amber or orange lens absorbs far more of it, which is why every Auresta frame uses a warm amber tint rather than a clear one. The trade-off is a mild warm cast to what you see.

Are blue light glasses worth it if I only use screens during the day?

For daytime work the honest case is glare and contrast, not a cure for tired eyes. If your screen sits under bright office lighting or by a window, an amber lens noticeably calms the picture. If your evenings are screen-heavy, the sleep argument is the stronger one.

Can I wear blue light glasses all day?

Yes. There is no evidence that wearing a blue-light-filtering lens all day is harmful. Ours are non-prescription and weigh about 19 g, which is the point of an acetate frame this light.

Can I wear these for night driving?

No. Tinted lenses of any colour — including amber — are not recommended for driving at night, because they reduce the total light reaching your eye. Keep them for screens and daylight.

Do they come with a prescription?

No. Every Auresta frame ships non-prescription (plano). Your optician can fit prescription lenses into the frame if you want them.
