Even if you’ve been blessed with 20/20 vision (and red hair!), your eyes may need a bit of a break. Phones, computers and tablets have short-wave blue light — this is why the screen is so attractive and bright. Blue light itself is a short-wave blue light in the spectrum of colors visible to the human eye. Its wavelength is in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. People have started to worry about the health effects of blue light emitting from screens. And since redheads are known to be more sensitive, you may be wondering why you have increased headaches or eye strain.
For this reason, more and more people are wearing blue light glasses (prescription or no prescription). So many brands are now offering these blue light filtering and we’ve got a list* that will give your eyes a rest, not break the bank, and complement your fiery red locks.

We all may benefit from looking at the world through rose-colored glasses, and while these block the blue light, you may just see things a bit more clearer.
