Why do some blue light blocking clip-on glasses have different color lens?

Blue light glasses typically have different color lenses to enhance their effectiveness in reducing the exposure to harmful blue light and to provide specific benefits for different situations. The various lens colors serve different purposes and are designed to filter certain wavelengths of light. Here are some common lens colors and their purposes:

  1. Yellow Tint: Amber or yellow-tinted lenses block a higher percentage of blue light than the clear Lens and are effective in reducing glare and enhancing contrast. They are used for daytime and nighttime computer use or for people who are particularly sensitive to bright screens.

  2. Orange Tint: Orange-tinted lenses also block blue light effectively, but they are especially helpful for improving sleep quality. Using orange-tinted glasses in the evening can help minimize blue light exposure, which can disrupt the production of the sleep hormone melatonin.

  3. Clear Lenses: Clear lenses with a blue light filter still provide protection against blue light but don't alter the color perception significantly. These are often preferred for daytime use when color accuracy is important, like during work or outdoor activities.

It's essential to choose the lens color that best suits your specific needs and preferences. Some people may find certain colors more comfortable or effective for their individual use cases. Additionally, the lens materials and coatings used in the glasses also play a role in determining their overall effectiveness in blocking blue light and reducing digital eye strain.
