Macular Degeneration
Prolonged exposure to high-intensity blue light can damage retinal cells in the macula, leading to macular degeneration. This is caused by the generation of reactive oxygen species, inflammation, and phototoxicity. Disruptions in the sleep-wake cycle due to blue light exposure may also contribute to the condition.
-
Digital Eye Strain
Blue light from screens can strain and discomfort your eyes, reduce blinking causing dry eyes, and potentially damage the retina. Evening exposure to blue light disrupts sleep patterns, contributing to tired eyes. The scattering of blue light reduces contrast, increases glare, and adds to eye strain.
-
Retina Cell Damage
Prolonged exposure to blue light can damage retinal cells by causing photochemical damage and oxidative stress due to its high-energy waves penetrating the sensitive retina. This damage may contribute to retinal cell degeneration over time.
-
Sleep Disruption
Exposure to blue light, particularly in the evening, disrupts sleep patterns by suppressing melatonin production. This can lead to difficulty falling asleep and reduced sleep quality, causing fatigue and grogginess the following day.
What our Partners are saying...
I'm so excited to partner with the Bye Blue Light team, we absolutely love our custom Arizona blue light glasses. These glasses have been a game-changer for our players by putting their health and performance first, and allow us the opportunity to continue to commit to our values to improve our program at all levels by putting our student athletes wellness first. Whether in well-lit arenas, late-night practice sessions, or everyday studying these glasses consistently deliver for the variety of our players' needs. As Esports programs continue to grow and demands on player game hours and performance intensifies every day, Bye Blue Light's blue light glasses are becoming a must for any Esports program. They've enhanced our players' well-being and performance, and we look forward to our continued partnership as we take our next steps as a program.
Ian Escalante, Arizona, Director of Esports
The Bye Blue Light glasses stand out as the top choice in my 20 years of gaming, surpassing others I've tried, especially during my World of Warcraft days where I used to wear blue light glasses regularly. The most notable feature is the exceptional comfort of the frames, particularly when wearing a gaming headset. Unlike other glasses that often cause a discomforting pressure above the ears, these frames provide a more pleasant experience. Despite not requiring glasses in my everyday life, I find these glasses more noticeable and easier to wear on my ears. Beyond their practical advantages, I am impressed by their aesthetics; they not only serve their purpose but also enhance my overall look. The stylish design makes me inclined to keep them on even after I'm done gaming, turning them into a fashionable accessory. Overall, Bye Blue Light glasses manage to combine functionality and style seamlessly.
Troy Chiefari, ONU, Esports Director
These glasses are just better. The craftsmanship is undeniable. As a collegiate Esports player, the difference in eye strain is almost immediately noticeable. I'm able to keep focus and tap heads more effectively with these frames on. Here at Mississippi State University Esports, we are ecstatic to tackle Esports health with ByeBlueLight.
Will Bratton, MSU, Esports Vice President of External Affairs
I have been wearing glasses for 15 years. It's always difficult finding glasses that feel right, feel durable, and look good. The Blue Light filter option is also an added benefit. These fit all 3 categories flawlessly, I can honestly say I do not see myself going any where else in the near future. Great job ByeBlueLight, well done.
