We're a team of digital wellness enthusiasts on a mission to help Australians protect their eyes and improve their screen-time experience.
Blue Light Glasses Australia was born out of personal experience with digital eye strain. Like many Australians, our founding team spent countless hours in front of screens—whether working from home during the pandemic, gaming late into the night, or simply scrolling through social media. The headaches, dry eyes, and disrupted sleep that followed became an all-too-familiar pattern.
After discovering the transformative benefits of blue light blocking technology, we became passionate advocates for digital eye health. We started researching everything we could about the science behind blue light exposure: understanding the 400-500nm wavelength spectrum that digital screens emit, learning how this artificial light suppresses melatonin production, and discovering the long-term implications of prolonged screen exposure on our circadian rhythms and overall eye health.
What we found was a market flooded with options but lacking genuine, unbiased guidance. Many websites seemed more interested in pushing products than educating consumers. That's when we decided to create something different—a resource that prioritises education and transparency over sales pitches.
At Blue Light Glasses Australia, we dedicate ourselves to providing comprehensive, well-researched content about digital eye protection. Our approach involves testing products ourselves, analysing lens technology specifications, comparing blue light blocking percentages, and evaluating factors like optical clarity, frame durability, and overall comfort. We understand that everyone's needs are different—what works for a professional software developer working 10-hour days differs from what a casual gamer needs for evening sessions.
We write in-depth guides covering everything from the basics of how blue light affects your eyes to advanced topics like optimising your screen setup for minimal eye strain. Our product comparisons are honest and thorough, highlighting both strengths and limitations of each option. We believe that informed consumers make better decisions, which is why we never shy away from recommending budget-friendly options when they genuinely deliver value.
Transparency is at the core of everything we do. Yes, we earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through our Amazon affiliate links—this is how we fund our research and keep the site running. However, this never influences our recommendations. We've turned down opportunities to promote products that didn't meet our standards, and we always disclose our affiliate relationships clearly.
Our goal is simple: to be Australia's most trusted resource for blue light protection information. Whether you're a first-time buyer wondering if blue light glasses actually work, a parent concerned about your children's screen time, or a professional looking to upgrade from basic computer glasses to premium options, we're here to help you navigate the choices with confidence.
