As a gamer, you might sometimes find yourself on the defensive when your beloved hobby is labeled as an unhealthy and antisocial pastime. Because whoever has never been immersed in a video game themselves can hardly comprehend the fascination. And even though we at INNOVATiVE EYEWEAR know about eye strain while gaming (and can offer solutions), we would like to take a stance for the electronic sport at this point.

New studies show a connection between blue light and the development of cataracts. In today’s digital era, we are constantly surrounded by screens and modern
Screen glasses with blue light filters, which are recommended for working on a PC, would allegedly not offer much added value. This is the result
The PRiSMA® BluelightProtect LiTE95 filter glasses can be described as the UNIVERSAL filter with a true 95% blue light filter rate in the 400 to
