What is Blue Light?
Blue light is part of the visible light spectrum, naturally emitted by the sun and also produced by digital screens â including smartphones, laptops, and LED lighting. While blue light helps regulate our sleepâwake cycle during the day, prolonged exposure from screens can contribute to visual fatigue, headaches, and disrupted sleep patterns.
With more time spent on devices than ever before, protecting your eyes from excessive blue light has become an essential part of modern eyewear.
What Are Blue Light Blocking Lenses?
Blue light blocking lenses feature a special coating designed to filter or absorb portions of high-energy blue light. This helps reduce eye strain and improve comfort during extended screen time.
At Burghley & Co, our prescription and non-prescription lenses can be upgraded with advanced blue control coatings, ideal for professionals, gamers, students, or anyone who spends long hours in front of digital devices.
What is a Blue Anti-Reflection (AR) Coating?
A blue anti-reflection coating (sometimes called âblue controlâ or âdigital protectionâ) combines two powerful technologies:
-
Blue light filtration to reduce glare and digital fatigue.
-
Anti-reflection layers to improve clarity and lens aesthetics.
This coating not only enhances contrast and visual sharpness but also prevents unwanted reflections in photos and meetings â perfect for those working on video calls or creating content online.
