Exposure to blue light form your digital screens can lead to retinal damage, cataracts, digital eye strain, and age-related macular degeneration.
GUNNAR glasses block blue light from your digital screens and prevent digital eye strain. This helps prevent both short-term exhaustive issues and long-term health degradation.
Blue light has been shown to induce photochemical damage across the retina and macula that causes oxidative stress on the eyes.
GUNNAR glasses block blue light from your digital screens and prevent digital eye strain. By blocking blue light, unnecessary stress on the eyes and mind is reduced allowing you to perform at your best.
Over-saturation of blue light from digital screens decreases visual acuity and depth perception, and can make focusing difficult. Normal daily 6-to-8 hours of screen time increases the risk of eye disease by 12%.
GUNNAR glasses block blue light from your digital screens and prevent digital eye strain. By easing the stress of extended screen time and blocking that harmful blue light, GUNNAR helps prevent screen-related eye issues.
Eyes were not designed to stare at close distances for long periods of time. Continuous close-distance focusing on digital devices adds stress to eye muscles and can exhaust them in about 2 hours.
GUNNAR glasses block blue light from your digital screens and prevent digital eye strain. By easing the stress of extended screen time and blocking harmful blue light, GUNNAR helps prevent daily eye exhaustion and headaches.
Exhausted eyes from normal daily computer use have been linked to mental fatigue and difficulty concentrating.
GUNNAR glasses block blue light from your digital screens and prevent digital eye strain. Our patented lens design helps prevent eye exhaustion issues caused by normal daily computer routines.
Full-spectrum light is the natural light from the sun that covers the electromagnetic spectrum from infrared to near-ultraviolet. This includes all wavelengths of light that are useful to plant and animal life on the Earth.
The electronic devices we use today have LED back-lit screens to enhance brightness and clarity. These digital screens emit strong HEV blue light waves. Cell phones, computers, and tablets all have HEV light technology providing illumination. Because use of these devices is both wide-spread and growing, we are being exposed to more and more sources of blue light for longer periods of time.
HEV blue light, particularly at the 450nm wavelength, is hard on the eyes for several reasons: This is the level that digital devices produce, and is the only light that penetrates the eye all the way back to the retina. Blue light between 380 and 470nm is hard on the eyes because it can cause cumulative damage to the retina, lead to cataracts, and is linked to sleep disorders.
GUNNAR’s patented amber lens is the most effective solution for blocking blue light from your digital devices. Whether its an over the counter product or a doctor prescribed one, GUNNAR lenses, by far, filter the most blue light. The GUNNAR amber lens tint filters the most high frequency blue light at 65% from digital devices, and protects eyes from both short-term and long-term stress.
GUNNAR lenses are carefully formulated to filter and balance light while absorbing 65% of (HEV) blue light emitted from digital devices. By designing our lenses to shift the color spectrum for visual efficiency, the GUNNAR amber lens takes artificial light and precisely tunes it to the physiology of the eye.
When compared to other major blue light lens solutions, GUNNAR proves to be the most effective HEV blue light protection. The GUNNAR amber lens filters at least 58% more harmful blue light than any other brand or prescription.
In a recent VSP® Vision Care survey on youth and digital device use, the findings show that by the time the average American child reaches age 17, their eyes will have spent the equivalent of nearly six years looking at digital devices.
During an independent study conducted at three eye care professional locations, over 150 patients were interviewed before and after using GUNNAR Technology Eyewear throughout a multi-week test involving intense computer use. The study showed the following results.
According to the latest study, the Vision Council estimates that 65% of Americans suffer from digital eye strain in one form or another. The Vision Council recommends computer glasses that are specially designed for optimizing vision when viewing content on screens, and can be provided with or without a prescription. Users experience more relaxation, sharper focus, and reduced blurriness and pixilation, which can cause discomfort unless corrected. The lens designs allow the eyes of adults and children to relax, adjusting to intermediate-distance objects and reducing glare during prolonged use of digital devices.
Their findings:
Vision Council of America, Vision in Business Study 2007
According to a report from the Vision Council of America; vision claims and disorders carry a hefty price tag for employers, and result in a marked decrease in productivity costing businesses an estimated $8 billion annually.
Results showed:
According to the AOA, the most frequent health complaints among computer workers are vision-related. Studies indicate that 50 to 90 percent of computer users suffer from symptoms of computer vision syndrome or digital eye strain. These symptoms include eye strain, dry eyes, eye irritation, blurred vision and double vision.
With more and more of us using a computer at work, CVS is becoming a major public health issue. The AOA reports that a survey of optometrists found that approximately 10 million eye exams are performed annually in the United States due to vision problems related to computer use.
A study conducted by the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry on worker productivity and computer vision care amoung.
Providing computer vision care to all employees who use computers, even those who are not experiencing CVS symptoms, results in significant productivity gains and cost savings for employers. The study showed 19% increased productivity for those using computer eyewear.
The study showed a direct correlation between proper vision protection and productivity. Employees performing tasks with particularly demanding visual requirements, such as accounting, document editing, electronic design and engineering, were more more productive when using computer eyewear.
The study also showed a direct correlation between proper vision correction and the time required for a computer worker to perform a task. Computer-related tasks took much longer when the subjects did not wear specific computer eyewear.
Musculoskeletal problems, which may be caused by computer-related vision problems, can potentially be minimized or eliminated by including computer vision care to employees.
A computer vision benefits program likely will also lower incidence of workers’ compensation claims among computer users therefore reducing costs.
