The Best Blue Light Glasses For Reading On Airplanes
Long flights can cause quite a strain on the eyes. Here’s how to combat that with style.
One of the sources of eye strain and fatigue is the color temperature of the light. Light from screens like tablets and gaming systems has a "bluer" color, which can be hard on the eyes over long stretches. So before getting on the plane, here's what to look for in some glasses to prevent that headache.
Any blue-light glasses should have clear lenses with filters built into them, ideally multi-coat filters that only block blue light.
A nice bonus is some UV protection, so if you're reading somewhere other than a plane, your eyes are protected while you peruse.
If you've got multiple family members in need, look for multi-packs of glasses so you won't have to share.
Just as important, of course, is that they're comfortable to wear, so look for glasses similar to your sunglasses or other glasses you wear.
Similarly, don't forget about the kids, who can be just as prone to blue light fatigue as adults.
