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 the blue light from screens and the like. They prevent the blue light from hitting the retina. And that can have some advantages.

How does blue light work?

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

Blue light LED, smartphone, tablet and TV.

You might know the contrast of blue to "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 directly perceived as more soothing and comfortable for the eyes.

Our Blueblocker glasses work according to the same principle. They are worn in the evening - preferably a few hours before bedtime - 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 organism. 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 processed so easily by the eye. While most forms of light are absorbed and caught by the front part of the eye, blue-violet rays travel all the way to the sensitive retina, which can lead to greater strain and potential irritation of the eye. This means we complain more often of dry and tired eyes and blurred vision. Suffering from headaches is also possible - as are concentration or sleep problems! The latter, by the way, 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 less light affects our body, it releases melatonin, which makes us tired. Too much blue light is therefore often the reason for problems falling asleep at night. But it can also be a trigger for migraines. Unfortunately, there are still no provable study results on this. Nevertheless, headache and migraine patients report a prophylactic effect of blue blocker glasses, which filter out the blue light from the light of screens and the like.

Do blueblocker glasses reduce headaches and migraines?

Headaches or even migraines hinder sufferers in their everyday lives. Especially if they occur frequently or are particularly severe. But there are some tricks you can use to avoid the aching head. Possible options are:

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

Blueblocker glasses are becoming increasingly popular among people who suffer from migraines or other forms of headaches. Because: they can help prevent or alleviate this pain. First and foremost, as a prophylactic solution, Blueblocker glasses can have a tremendous effect.

Prophylaxis is the preventive treatment of a disease or disorder. Especially in migraine patients, prophylaxis is very important - and often effective. In chronic migraine, drugs such as topiramate and onabotulinumtoxinA are considered effective in prophylaxis [1]. But there are also non-drug measures you can take to manage your migraines or headaches. Such as the use of blueblocker glasses.

At the computer, while reading and before going to bed

Blueblocker glasses are often worn by people who work a lot on the computer in the evening hours. Working at a computer screen in particular is quite strenuous for the eyes - it can even happen that the eyes hurt or water.

Blueblocker glasses can help relieve 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 that in turn helps prevent a migraine or headache attack.

How to do it?

The way Blueblocker glasses work is quite simple: Similar to how sunglasses protect our retina from UV rays, blue light filter glasses can protect the 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. To do this, the glasses are made of a special material that absorbs the radiation and no longer transmits it to the eyes. This can help prevent headaches caused by blue light.

Can blue radiation cause headaches?

The blue radiation emitted 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 longer in the evening without tiring your eyes. And without triggering a headache attack.

Some migraine patients who wear our Lichtblock® Blueblocker glasses regularly in the evening report that their migraine attacks became less frequent, and that when they stopped wearing the glasses, the frequency of attacks or headaches increased again.

Conclusion: Blueblocker glasses can help with headaches
