What Are Blue Light Glasses?

Before diving into our sustainable offerings, it’s helpful to understand why you might need blue light glasses in the first place. As we stare at screens, our eyes are exposed to blue light, which can contribute to digital eye strain. This can cause discomfort, including headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision, and even difficulty sleeping. Blue light glasses filter out some of this light, and many people report relief from discomfort, especially after long hours spent working or gaming. If you’ve experienced any of these symptoms, it might be worth trying out a pair to see how they work for you.

The Case for Sustainable Glasses

While blue light glasses can help improve your daily experience, why not take it a step further by choosing a sustainable option? Traditional eyewear production often involves harmful materials and energy-intensive processes. Sustainable eyewear, on the other hand, focuses on using eco-friendly materials and ethical manufacturing practices to minimize environmental impact.

Eco-conscious consumers are increasingly seeking brands that prioritize sustainability, and we are dedicated to making high-quality blue light glasses with the planet in mind. By choosing glasses from the ReMakes collection, you can protect your eyes while also protecting the environment.
