WHAT WE RECOMMENDTwo Ways We Help Reduce Eye Strain

Crizal Prevencia coating.
Recharge coating.
Reduces excessive blue light exposure.

WHY IT MATTERSDigital eye strain doesn't just affect your eyes in the moment, it can lead to real posture and comfort issues that build up over months of screen work, from neck tension to chronic headaches. The right lenses can make an entire workday feel different.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a new prescription to get blue light or anti-fatigue lenses?
Not necessarily. You don’t need a prescription for blue-light filtering lenses, but the filter can’t be added to existing lenses after the fact. We have some frames in stock that already have a blue filter built in, including select Tom Ford and Spectacle Eyeworks frames. Ask us at your next visit.
Are blue light glasses actually backed by research?
Blue light has been linked to eye strain, headaches, and fatigue, with some studies suggesting a link to long-term retinal risk. Filtering it out is a reasonable, low-risk step if you're on screens for hours a day.
What's the difference between anti-fatigue and regular lenses?
Anti-fatigue lenses have a slight magnification built into the bottom of the lens, which relaxes your eye muscles during close-up work, regular lenses don't have that built in.
I don't wear glasses, can I still get these lenses?
Yes, non-prescription versions are available if you don't need vision correction but still want the strain relief.
