According to a recent study by the Vision Council of America, over 70% of adults and teens suffer from digital eye strain.

Today’s computer screens, smart phones, tablets and LED televisions emit excessive amounts of violet/blue light. This light from electronic devices can cause eyestrain, fatigue and other vision problems. Give your eyes some relief with Penn Avenue Eyewear’s new computer lenses, designed to reduce harmful blue light and alleviate digital eyestrain while improving visual clarity.

Penn Avenue Eyewear’s computer glasses feature lenses with a special coating that deflects a portion of the violet/blue light spectrum. Unlike other companies that offer computer glasses with yellow or amber tinted lenses to absorb blue light, our lenses feature a special coating that actually deflects the blue light off the front of the lens. Our computer glasses are made from a prescription quality 1.56 index lens and are available in plano (non-powered) or reading powers from +.25 to +1.50 in .25 increments. All lenses are clear and treated with a special coating that deflects blue light.

Wear contact lenses? The plano or the +.25 (for slight magnification) are perfect for you. Normally wear a reading glass? You’ll want to divide that power by half to come up with the perfect intermediate distance power for working on your computer.
