Which Glasses are Best for Computer Use?
The average American spends around seven hours each day looking at a screen. Whether you work from home and are on your computer for most of the day, manage social media accounts, attend school online, or spend much of your time gaming, a lot of what we love to do involves screens.
If you rely on your computer for work, school, or entertainment, you likely also deal with frequent irritation to your eyes. Maybe your eyes feel tired, fuzzy, or sore after looking at your computer screen all day. Or maybe you experience headaches or problems with sleep during the workweek. It's important to help filter potentially harmful electromagnetic exposure to our eyes from the light that emits from our computers. Luckily, there are easy ways to do this!
We offer an array of blue light glasses options, such as computer glasses, digital reading glasses, gamer glasses, and more. Let's talk about which glasses are best for computer use so you can find the best glasses for you.
Picking the Best Computer Glasses for You
Picking the best computer glasses involves many factors. Not only do you have to understand your options and which glasses are best for your lifestyle, but it's also important to choose a style that complements your face shape and glasses that fit correctly.
There are different computer glasses for different computer activities, whether you're reading, working, gaming, or watching TV. Let's explore which computer glasses might be right for you!
Blue Light Glasses
Our blue light glasses collection features a patented lens technology that helps reduce approximately 30% of potentially harmful blue light* that is emitted from your computer screen
These glasses are an excellent choice for computer use. They come in a variety of styles and colors to fit any face shape. If you spend a lot of your time working from your computer or doing assignments from your computer, blue light glasses may be right for you.
Blue Light Readers
If you're working from your computer for a large portion of the day, chances are you're reading. You might be reading and typing emails all day, reading lectures or study materials for your online classes, or using a digital reading device. If you need reading glasses and use them while reading on digital devices, we have just the blue light styles for you!
Potentially harmful blue light* not only takes a toll on our eyes but so can reading, especially between the ages of 40 and 60. This is a condition known as presbyopia. As a result of regular use of the eye muscles that contract and dilate to focus on words up close and far away, our vision can gradually worsen. You'll notice this condition if you find you have to hold reading materials closer to your eyes or farther away to make out words.
While the condition may sound daunting, the solution is rather simple! A pair of reading glasses can correct presbyopia and help you read more clearly without having to hold your reading material at arm's length! Plus, if you're on your computer all day, there are blue light reading glasses that help reduce potentially harmful blue light* while reading from devices such as computers or smartphone screens.

Why Do You Need Computer Glasses?
There are different kinds of glasses for different eyesight conditions. For instance, there are corrective lenses for nearsightedness or farsightedness, reading glasses for presbyopia, prescription bifocals for people who need multiple powered lenses, and a variety of other options.
Similarly, blue light glasses, or computer glasses, are for those who spend a lot of time in front of a digital screen.

In addition to offering 100%UVA and UVB lens protection, these blue light glasses are an excellent way to take care of your eyes and promote comfort while working, playing, or scrolling through social media!
Even if you don't experience the symptoms of presbyopia or the noticeable effects of potentially harmful blue light* on your eyes, it doesn't mean you don't need them.
Blue light glasses are an excellent way to reduce the amount of potentially harmful blue light* exposure that our eyes receive throughout the day and keep our eyes happy and healthy.
Other Factors to Consider When Choosing Computer Glasses
After you choose what type of computer glasses to use, there are a few decisions left to make. You have to pick what style frames go best with your face shape, your personal style, and your wardrobe!
Here are a few guidelines to help you choose the best computer glasses for you!
Frame Styles
Its important to consider what style frames will look best for your face before buying a pair of glasses for computer use. The two factors that influence what style you should choose are your face shape and your overall fashion style.
Choosing a pair of frames to complement your face shape is simple with these general guidelines. The basic principle is to find a pair of frames that's the opposite shape of your face, so it balances out your features.
For instance, if you have a square face, you can consider frames with rounded edges. If you have a round face or oval face, choose frames that are square or have more geometric edges. If you have a face that's pointy at the top and wider at the bottom, pick glasses that are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.
Sharper features on your face can be balanced out with gentle, round features on glasses to create a natural balance to your face shape and complement you. The same applies to the opposite! Rounder features on your face benefit from having sharper featured glasses to add dimension and edge to your facial features.
While these general guidelines can help you pick the frames that look best on your face, there's nothing quite as important as what you feel expresses your personal style with confidence! If you have a pair of frames that you love but also go against these guidelines, it's okay. Wear what makes you feel the most comfortable and confident.

Frame Color
It's also important to choose what color computer glasses frames you want to buy. If you're bringing them with you to work, you may want to match them to your work outfits. If you're wearing them while gaming, choose a color that matches your favorite gaming chair or room. If you're planning to wear them throughout the day, choose a neutral color or pattern that works in a variety of situations.
Clear frames are another excellent color option as they're easy to match with any outfit and any occasion but stand out simultaneously!
Just the Type
If you're at your computer for a large portion of each day, it might be time to consider getting a pair of glasses for computer use. Finding the right pair for you may take some work, but once you find that perfect pair, you'll be able to keep your eyes comfortable and get back to doing what you love!
