So, the best time to wear blue light glasses is when you\u2019re exposed to blue light \u2014 i.e., while you\u2019re watching TV, scrolling through your smartphone or tablet, or working on a computer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The slightly yellow-tinted coating on the lenses counteracts the blue light emitted from these screens. As a result, the amount of blue light that reaches your retinas (in the back of the eyes) is minimized and provides you with more comfortable screen viewing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all of that said, blue light glasses are fine to be worn even when you\u2019re not exposed to digital screens (which is rare these days). As stated before, a blue light coating can only help you \u2014 wearing blue light glasses all the time will not hurt your eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still a little skeptical?
