The Ocushield anti-blue light glasses are your best defense against this eye scourge

TLDR: The Ocushield Anti-Blue Light Glasses protect your eyes from the harmful effects of blue light-emitting devices that can lead to headaches, eye strain, fatigue, and unrestful sleep.

Studies — and the resulting news reports that cover them — are filled with findings that often grab your attention. Then there are those study results that should scare the living bejeezus out of you. 

Like that your smartphone is covered in 10 times more bacteria than a public restroom. Or that making toilet paper kills 27,000 trees a day. 

Or how about this — during the height of the pandemic, the average American was estimated to be spending over 19 hours a day in front of a screen. Assuming those folks have to sleep some time, that means almost every waking second of every day is looking at a screen for work, entertainment, or just due to outright boredom.

Now think about what all that blue light is doing to your precious peepers. Time in front of a screen is inevitable, but at least with protection like Ocushield Anti-Blue Light Glasses ($39.99, 52 percent off, from TNW Deals), you can make the effort to save your eyeballs from premature problems.

Just like sunglasses block dangerous UV rays from the sun, these FDA-approved, unisex glasses are crafted to deter the harmful effects of blue light, which is primarily responsible for keeping you alert, but can be overstimulated to produce feelings of fatigue, eye strain, irritation, or even disrupt sleeping patterns and impact your overall health.

Featuring anti-glare coating, anti-fogging agents for maintaining clarity, and full UV protection as well, these blue light filters deter 90 percent of the blue light that emanates from all your screens and LED driven devices.

In addition to combating headaches and other symptoms of extended eye strain, these glasses stop blue light from disrupting the production of melatonin, the chief chemical our bodies produce to help us sleep. So rather than feeling lethargic, irritable and unproductive, this protection can readjust your sleeping routine to help you feel more rested, happier, and healthier.

You can choose a set of Ocushield Anti-Blue Light Glasses in a pair of styles with a trio of different colors. In the rounded lens Carson look, you can select from the clear white, shiny black or tortoise varieties. Then there’s the more rectangularly-shaped Parker variety, also available in clear white, shiny black or tortoise. All six versions are normally priced at $84, but are now on sale at more than half off the regular price, just $39.99.
