The Science & The Soul
The Science
While not currently regulated by the FDA, optometrists often prescribe Blue Light-blocking glasses for people who spend long hours behind a screen (so…everyone). It’s Blue Light we have to blame for tired eyes, strained or blurry vision, and headaches after staring at the screen for too long. Thankfully, Blue Light-blocking glasses are proven to help reduce headache, anxiety, eye strain and fatigue, and even promote better sleep. While most glasses on the market only block around 4% of Blue Light, Felix Gray’s lenses effectively block up to 30% – no doubt, a visible difference, and surely a sight for sore eyes!
This glaring distinction is due largely to Felix Gray’s commitment to getting their product just right – beta-testing their lenses for months with thousands of office dwellers and ensuring the expert craftsmanship of each frame, which is classically inspired and built from durable Italian acetate. And rather than blocking Blue Light with a color filter alone, they’ve created a fashionable, clear lens, fabricated for top-performing functionality. The result is a pair of computer glasses that are not only easy on the eyes — they’re effective sight-savers, too.
Today, in addition to their unden-eye-ably glare-reducing Optical collection, Felix Gray offers a Kids Collection, Low-Bridge Fit Glasses, Polarized Sunglasses with 100% UVA/UVB protection, and Sleep Glasses that help stimulate the release of melatonin and promote better sleep. After all, don’t our eyes deserve to be happy all day?
The Soul
While the long-lasting effects of our digital exposure are still largely unknown, in the short-term, daily screen fixation plagues billions around the world with headaches, fatigue, insomnia, and other related health problems. In fact, in the U.S. alone, 43% of us spend most of our workday in front of our screens, with 60% of us reporting symptoms of strained or blurred vision and headaches – a stat that’s alarmingly increasing 7% by generation. Add to that the melatonin imbalance caused by the emission of Blue Light (didn’t your mom tell you not to fall asleep on your phone?), and it turns out we’re actually affected by our screens 24/7.
Thanks to its commitment to delivering the very best in lens technology, Felix Gray is not only helping significantly reduce the issues caused by prolonged screen time but is genuinely committed to protecting the people it serves – making their eyes happier one pair of stylish frames at a time.
