Problems arise, however, with the amount of blue light to which we are exposing our brains and bodies, potentially causing undue stress to our eyes and even making it hard to sleep at night.
Give your eyes a break. Close your laptop time after time, for a minute or two-- Or grab some blue light blocking lenses!
We can customize any style of frame and lens prescription with blue light blocking technology.

Then, rinse the lens with solution. Repeat with the 2nd lens — and ta-da! They’re ready to wear!
