EyeBuyDirect Eyezen Glasses Relieve Digital Eye Strain

EyeBuyDirect Eyezen Glasses help relieve eye strain and potential damage caused by extended exposure to harmful blue light.

If you work on a computer screen all day, not only do you have constant dangers of posture related ailments and hand related complications, there is a huge wear on your eyes. And then there’s smartphones and tablets that continue the digital strain on our eyes. Nielsen report states that most adults in the U.S., this include manchildren/womenchildren like myself, spend on average eight hours a day connected to some device ranging from televisions, monitors, and smart devices. Extended uses of digital devices cause eyes to work harder, creating significant eye strain and fatigue.

Luckily, there are companies EyeBuyDirect that have solutions, because society is not going to become less dependent on screens anytime soon. Leading eyeglass retailer EyeBuyDirect is the first in the ecommerce optical industry to offer digital screen protection. Two years after adding its first addition of digital protection lenses to their selection, EyeBuyDirect has expanded their protective options with Essilor innovation, Eyezen™ glasses. Eyezen glasses are a simple and elegant solution to the growing need for preventative eyewear,

Eyezen Glasses features two key elements that reduce eyestrain from digital screens: reduces exposure to Harmful Blue Light by 20% and a small amount of accommodative relieve in the lower portion of the lens that helps the eyes stay relaxed while using digital devices.

It is known that UV protection for eyes is important, but the research is just coming out on Harmful Blue Light. Harmful Blue Light may contribute to long-term retina damage and possibly lead to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

“The technology in Eyezen glasses supports the digitally connected lifestyle of the millennial generation – a lifestyle they aren’t willing to change – by reducing eye strain and exposure to Harmful Blue Light,” said Roy Hessel, CEO and founder, EyeBuyDirect.

Consumers are able to customize their digital protection with Eyezen glasses with EyeBuyDirect’s extensive collection of contemporary frames. At EyeBuyDirect, Eyezen glasses are available for nonprescription, and prescription, glasses starting at $34.95, including frame plus lens.
