Do blue light glasses actually block blue light?
Anti-blue light glasses are still popular on the market. This kind of glasses is said to be 'anti-radiation and anti-blue light', but this kind of hot-selling anti-blue glasses has many problems. At present, such anti-blue glasses mainly block or absorb blue light through special materials, but there are two misunderstandings in its blue light protection. One is that the protection is not preventable, and the other is that the color cast caused by the wrong protection makes visual fatigue aggravated. Studies have shown that our eyes are the most intolerant of blue light in the 400nm to 440nm band. Therefore, current manufacturers mainly block blue light in this band when producing anti-blue glasses. But the electronic products that we often come into contact with nowadays produce blue light between 450 nanometers and 490 nanometers, and anti-blue glasses have almost no protection in this wavelength. Generally speaking, the blocking rate of anti-blue glasses is 20% to 30%, but now the blocking rate of anti-blue glasses on the market basically reaches 80% to 90%. This high blocking rate can also easily cause a color shift. , It is easier to make the eyes tired.
Should I wear glasses all the time for myopia?
Whether it is false myopia or true myopia, as long as a pair of suitable myopia glasses are used to complement the missing refractive power of the lens, the image of the object can fall on the retina again, and the distant objects can be seen again. Adolescents usually use high eye intensity and often wear myopia glasses, so that the ciliary muscles do not need to be 'so tired' to adjust, which can avoid further aggravation of pseudomyopia. However, adolescents are still in the process of development, and the degree of true myopia will gradually increase with age. Therefore, as the degree of myopia develops, refraction should be performed at regular intervals, and appropriate glasses for myopia can be prepared to prevent false myopia.
For adults under 200 degrees, because the degree is relatively light, they can wear glasses when they are looking at the distance and not wear glasses when they are near, which has little effect on vision. But for adults with high myopia, because of the weak adjustment ability of the eyes, it is recommended to wear glasses regardless of near vision or distance vision.
In summary, wearing myopia glasses is to reduce eye fatigue and prevents the occurrence of false myopia. Wearing myopia glasses from time to time may aggravate the degree of myopia, and wearing them often does not cause a burden on the eyes. Therefore, for myopia glasses, wearing them frequently is the most correct way to wear them.

Types of Single Vision Lenses
Single vision lenses come in several different types including the 1.59 polycarbonate single vision, 1.57 mid-index single vision and polarized single vision.
1.59 polycarbonate single vision lenses are characterized by their durability and impact resistance. They often include an anti-scratch coating or anti-reflective coating. This lens is much lighter and thinner than a traditional plastic lens, and it blocks the sun’s harmful UV, offering maximum UV protection.
1.57 mid-index single vision lenses are thinner than regular plastic and moderately lighter and stronger. They come with an anti-scratch coating or anti-reflective coating. These lenses are an ideal option for people with relatively higher prescriptions. But they are thicker than the polycarbonate lenses.
Polarized single vision lenses are sunglasses that protect your eyes from light that bounces off smooth, highly reflective surfaces like asphalt, snow, and water. These lenses work by controlling certain light properties and limiting specific wavelengths. They boast a vertical filter that does not allow horizontal glare to pass through.
