BrainMax 100% blue and green light blocking glasses, Greenhorn
Greenhorn 100% blue and green light blocking glasses
Wear these glasses for 1.5–2 hours before bedtime to block blue and green light and optimise your circadian rhythm. They block up to 100% of harmful blue and green light, covering the spectrum with a wavelength of 380 to 565nm. They feature an elegant unisex design with black frames.
Wearing blue light blocking glasses before bed can improve sleep, health (by releasing melatonin) and morning energy.
Research shows that blocking the green part of the spectrum alongside the blue part increases the positive effects on sleep quality.¹
Please note: wearing glasses that block 100% of blue and green light all day can cause fatigue.
The glasses are packed in foil and cardboard to prevent damage during transport.
The problem with blue light
In today's digital era, few people can tear their eyes away from screens, whether it is a TV, mobile phone or computer. The increasing use of these electronic devices and LED lighting has brought new challenges.
- Exposure to blue light from screens before bed disrupts melatonin production and sleep patterns.
- Exposure to blue light can lead to macular degeneration.
- Excessive blue light saturation can reduce visual acuity and make focusing difficult.
- Blue light is proven to trigger photochemical damage to the retina and macula, causing oxidative stress in the eyes.
- Sleep disorders can lead to depression and an increased risk of illness.
Blue light between 380 and 470nm is considered harmful because it can cause retinal damage, cataracts and is linked to sleep disorders. However, not all blue light spectra are bad. For example, the spectrum from 470 to 500nm, also called turquoise blue light, is generally considered beneficial. This range of visible blue light is useful because it stimulates natural reflexes that protect the eyes from overexposure, and also aids cognitive and memory functions in the brain. At the same time, it stimulates photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, the pupillary reflex and controls the circadian cycle.
