How Blueblocker glasses can help with headaches and migraines

Blueblocker glasses for headaches and migraines

We love Blueblocker glasses because of their many positive properties. They can improve your sleep, prevent tired eyes and even help with headaches or migraines.

How does it work? Blueblocker glasses have special lenses that block blue light from screens and the like. They prevent the blue light from reaching the retina. And this can have a number of advantages.

How does blue light work?

Blue light is a completely normal component of daylight. The blue light component is increased in all very bright and white light sources such as daylight lamps or LED lights. Compared to the light bulbs of the past, many of our modern light sources and new types of lamps contain an increased proportion of blue light. However, the majority of unnatural blue light comes from the use of screen media such as Computers, smartphones, tablets and televisions.

Blue light LED, smartphone, tablet and television.

You may be familiar with the contrast between blue and "normal" light from your smartphone. Some models have a night mode. When this is activated, the background of your smartphone screen appears more yellow - and is usually immediately perceived as more soothing and pleasant for the eyes.

Our Blueblocker glasses work on the same principle. They are worn in the evening - preferably a few hours before going to bed - and do exactly what your smartphone does in night mode: they filter the blue light from your surroundings.

But why is that?

Blue light has a stimulating effect on the human body. Our eyes are exposed to blue light too often and for too long, which can have negative consequences. This is because this light cannot be easily processed by the eye. While most forms of light are absorbed and collected by the front part of the eye, blue-violet rays travel to the sensitive retinawhich can lead to greater strain and potential irritation of the eye. This means that we complain more frequently about dry and tired eyes and blurred vision. Suffering from headaches is also possible - as are concentration and sleep problems! The latter, by the way, is because blue light inhibits the release of the sleep hormone melatonin.

Blue light hits the retina

The presence or absence of blue light therefore also regulates the human sleep rhythm. If our body is exposed to less light, it releases melatonin, which makes us tired. Too much blue light is therefore often the reason for problems falling asleep at night. However, it can also be a trigger for migraines. Unfortunately, there are no conclusive study results on this yet. Nevertheless, headache and migraine patients report a prophylactic effect of blue blocker glasses, which filter out the blue light component from the light of screens and the like.

Do blueblocker glasses reduce headaches and migraines?

Headaches or even migraines hinder those affected in their everyday lives. Especially if they occur frequently or are particularly severe. But there are a few tricks you can use to avoid an aching head. Possible options are

Get enough sleep
Consume less alcohol
Give up cigarettes
A balanced diet
Sufficient exercise
The use of blueblocker glasses

Blueblocker glasses are becoming increasingly popular with people who suffer from migraines or other forms of headaches. This is because they can help to prevent or alleviate this pain. First and foremost as a prophylactic solution, Blueblocker glasses can have an enormous effect.

Prophylaxis is the preventative treatment of a disease or disorder. Prophylaxis is particularly important for migraine patients - and is often effective. In chronic migraine, drugs such as topiramate and onabotulinumtoxinA are considered effective in prophylaxis [1]. However, there are also non-drug measures that you can take to treat your migraine or headache. For example, the use of blueblocker glasses.

At the computer, when reading and before going to bed

Blueblocker glasses are often worn by people who work a lot on the computer in the evening. Working at a computer screen is particularly strenuous for the eyes - it can even cause the eyes to hurt or water.

Blueblocker glasses can help to alleviate this pain if it is already occurring. But they can also ensure that the eyes don't have to hurt in the first place. And this in turn helps to prevent a migraine or headache attack.

How does this work?

Blueblocker glasses work in a very simple way: just as sunglasses protect our retinas from UV rays, blue light filter glasses can protect our eyes from blue light. High-quality lenses filter blue light (wavelength 380nm to 480nm) particularly effectively.

Blueblocker glasses block blue light

The lenses of blueblocker glasses therefore act like a blue light filter that filters out blue light. The glasses are made of a special material that absorbs the radiation and no longer transmits it to the eyes. This can help to prevent headaches caused by blue light.

Can blue radiation cause headaches?

The blue radiationemitted by screens and other electronic devices, can cause headaches, eye pain and fatigue. Blueblocker glasses block some of this radiation so you can work or play for longer in the evening without tiring your eyes. And without triggering a headache attack.

Some migraine sufferers who have used our Lichtblock® Blueblocker glasses regularly in the evening report that their migraine attacks have become less frequent, and that the frequency of attacks or headaches increases again when they stop wearing their glasses.
