Most of today’s high-end LCD and LED screens are high in brightness and have a refresh rate that gives you a great viewing experience. They also have a blue light which is emitted by the bulb on the screens. This glowing light gives you a very comfortable viewing experience but is also the cause of several issues in our eyes. With the help of anti-blue light glasses and anti-glare glasses, these have solved the problems. But are these glasses the same? 

Anti Blue Light Glasses Vs. Anti Glare Glasses

Blue light glasses are used to protect your eyes from the harmful effects of blue light coming from digital screens. Blue light has been scientifically proven to have adverse effects on your eyes. It can even lead to macular degeneration. Anti blue light glasses have a coating that is applied to its lenses. This film helps in blocking blue light, therefore reducing strain on the eyes and increasing its longevity. Blue light glasses help in making your eyes look less tired.

The anti-glare coating reduces glare and reflections on the lenses which can be caused by natural and artificial light. So why would you wear them? Well, for everyday use glasses can help you enjoy your time outdoors by helping you see clearly.
