How Does Screen Light Impact Us?
Avoiding screens in modern life is impossible—even if you aren’t using a device or computer, screens are all around, from car displays to ads in grocery stores and even when checking in at the doctor’s office. Screens expose us to high levels of blue light and the consequences are all too familiar: light sensitivity, disrupted sleep, visual challenges, and more. In fact, researchers estimate that up to 90% of people have visual problems after prolonged screen time from computers.2-6
For those already grappling with sensitivity to light, screens pose an even greater challenge because of the exposure to specific wavelengths that can make it worse.7,8 As if that were not enough, many LCD and LED screens emit an invisible pulsing or flicker that our eyes may not see but to which light-sensitive people can have a strong negative response.9
This is why experts provide guidance for using screens after an accident and for other experiences associated with light sensitivity, and it's also why many people prioritize general light management as part of their screen time.
TheraSpecs for Screen Light Management
A number of TheraSpecs lens options are available to help you reduce the problematic light that you are exposed to when using your screens and other devices:
TheraSpecs Flex
If you seek subtle protection from screen light, TheraSpecs Flex is your ideal choice for everyday computer or screen glasses. We also recommend adding Flex to your light management plan if you experience mild sensitivity to artificial light. Shop Flex Lenses ➜
TheraSpecs FL-Pro™
If you have stronger sensitivity to screens and/or experience regular light sensitivity, we recommend TheraSpecs FL-Pro for your light management strategy. This FL-41-tinted lens blocks the highest levels of unwanted light identified for maximum protection.* Shop FL-Pro Lenses ➜
TheraSpecs FL-Blend™
FL-Blend also uses FL-41 to target irritating wavelengths of light from screen time. The tint is more subtle than FL-Pro to strike a nice balance of protection in a less noticeable lens. Shop FL-Blend Lenses ➜
*By cutting down on your exposure to harsh screen light, FL-Pro and FL-Blend may help people to live well with migraine (including migraine with/without aura, vestibular migraine, etc), as part of an overall light management routine.
TheraSpecs Contrast HEV™
TheraSpecs Contrast HEV filters blue light that our eyes do not focus well. If you wear these lenses as part of an overall light management plan, they may help create better visual contrast and screen-related comfort. Shop Contrast HEV Lenses ➜
TheraSpecs Sleep
This lens filters 100% of blue light that may affect your sleeping patterns and melatonin production. Wear these a few hours before bed when looking at your screen or watching TV. Shop Sleep Lenses ➜
In addition to offering excellent protection from screens, these lens options also protect from fluorescent lights, LEDs and other artificial light sources.
Are great for any activities associated with screens, including gaming, TV watching, computer and smartphone use
Filter more problematic light than clear or nearly clear lenses marketed for blue light filtering10
