Do computer glasses reduce blue light?

Yes, computer glasses may help to relieve digital eye strain and they can block or filter blue light from your screen too.

What is the difference between glasses and computer glasses?

Computer glasses differ from regular glasses in that they are specifically made to help reduce the eye strain associated with computer work. The anti-reflective coating on computer glasses helps reduce the glare that bounces off the screen and light coming from the device.

What are computer glasses and blue light glasses?

Computer eyeglasses are specifically designed to prevent eyesight issues caused due to strain on eyes. Blue light is emitted from mostly all digital devices that we regularly use these days. Computer glasses reduce exposure to this blue light and protect your vision.
