Digital+ Blue Light Lenses
Did you know?
Blue light lenses (we call them Digital+ at Charm Optical) help reduce the eye strain that comes from staring at phones, tablets, and laptops all day. With so many of us working from home, your eyes deserve a little extra care. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, prolonged screen exposure can contribute to digital eye strain, headaches, and disrupted sleep patterns.
Sometimes you just have
to rest your eyes.
We all love scrolling, texting, and squeezing in some work — but sometimes your eyes just need a break. Our Digital+ blue light lenses help by filtering out the harsh blue light that contributes to eye fatigue. So even when you can't put the screen down, your eyes still get some relief. Stop by Charm Optical in Edmonton and we'll find the right pair for you.
Why Choose Blue Light (Digital+) Lenses?
Whether you're working from home, studying, or scrolling through your phone before bed — Charm Optical's Digital+ blue light lenses make a real difference in how your eyes feel at the end of the day.
Reduce Eye Strain
Cut down on the fatigue, dryness, and headaches that come from hours of screen time. Blue light lenses reduce the amount of high-energy light reaching your eyes so they can relax.
Better Sleep
Blue light suppresses melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep after evening screen use. Filtering it out helps your body maintain its natural sleep-wake cycle.
Less Glare
Blue light coating reduces glare from screens and harsh overhead lighting. This is especially helpful in open-plan offices, classrooms, and any environment with fluorescent or LED lights.
UV Protection
Many blue light lenses also block UV rays from the sun. This added layer of protection helps guard against long-term damage from both indoor and outdoor light sources.
Who Should Get Blue Light Lenses in Edmonton?
Anyone who spends time in front of screens can benefit from blue light filtering — but some people notice the difference more than others. Here's who our Edmonton customers love them for.
Office Workers
If you spend 6+ hours a day at a computer, blue light lenses can significantly reduce end-of-day eye fatigue, dry eyes, and tension headaches. A must-have for anyone working from home or in an office.
Students & Gamers
Long study sessions and gaming marathons take a toll on your eyes. Blue light lenses help maintain focus and comfort during extended screen time — whether you are writing an essay or in a ranked match.
Everyone on Screens
Even casual screen users — scrolling social media, watching shows, texting — are exposed to blue light daily. If you have ever noticed tired eyes by evening, blue light lenses can help.
Blue Light Lenses FAQ
Will blue light lenses fix my eye strain if I'm on a screen all day?
We'll be honest with you — if you're in front of a screen 8+ hours a day, even the best lenses in the world won't do it all on their own. Our Digital+ blue light lenses absolutely help by filtering harsh light and reducing strain, but your eyes still need real breaks. Step away from the screen every 20–30 minutes, look at something far away, get some fresh air. Think of blue light lenses as one part of taking care of your eyes — not a replacement for giving them a rest. Come chat with us at Charm Optical and we'll help you find the right setup.
Can I only wear blue light lenses for computer and screen use?
Not at all! It all depends on your prescription. If your doctor gave you an everyday Rx, you can wear your Digital+ blue light lenses from morning till bedtime — at work, driving, running errands, everything. The blue light coating is just an extra protective layer on top of your regular lenses. It doesn't change how you see — it just filters out the harsh blue light so your eyes feel more comfortable throughout the day. Ask us at Charm Optical and we'll walk you through it.
What are blue light lenses?
