    Light and Health

    When thinking about health, the first thing that comes to mind is exercise and healthy eating. This is certainly a good start, but unfortunately human biology is much more complex! You also need to consider the quality of your sleep and how it affects your hormones.


    Filter Optix blue light blocking glasses protect your hormones and circadian rhythm from artificial blue light, to help you prevent health issues
    Health Impacts

    The light we are exposed to everyday has a great impact on your health because your hormones are predominantly regulated by your light-sensitive cells, more specifically in your eyes.

    Digital devices (computers, phones, TVs, etc.) and modern light sources (LEDs, fluorescents, etc.) all emit large amounts of artificial blue light, which is absorbed by your light-sensitive cells and disturbs your hormonal balance.

    Consequentially this disrupts your circadian rhythm and ruins sleep, which can lead to health problems such as cancer, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, mental health issues, and much more!

    Exposure to natural light in daytime and avoiding artificial blue light at night are essential to avoid or help seasonal affective disorder
    Light Exposure

    In the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, there is less sunlight during the winter season. During this time, it’s common to get the “winter blues”, also known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). An indoor lifestyle with excessive artificial light and lack of sunlight increases the production of the stress hormone, cortisol, which leaves you in a chronically stressed state – resulting in SAD.

    Sunlight exposure during the winter is therefore essential for an optimal circadian rhythm, and to mitigate SAD. But even with sufficient sunlight exposure, the overexposure of artificial light after dark will leave you in chronic stress and impair melatonin production. Melatonin is a sleep hormone and a major antioxidant.

    Natural sunlight contains full-spectrum light which optimises your hormones, vitamin D levels and mood-boosting neurotransmitters including dopamine and serotonin. Ultimately, this leads to higher melatonin levels at night which positively affects sleep quality and prevents various health issues!



    Benefits of Filter Optix Lenses

    Improve your health with the most suitable Filter Optix blue light glasses



    Health benefits of using Filter Optix blue light blocking glasses with clear and yellow lenses

    • Prevent blurred vision
    • Prevent macular degeneration
    • Reduce headaches and/or migraines
    • Relax your eyes and mind
    • Increase energy, focus and cognition while reducing fatigue
    • Increase melatonin levels at night
    • Reduce stress
    • Reduce hormonal imbalances
    • Improve circadian rhythm and sleep

    Health benefits of using Filter Optix blue light blocking glasses with orange and red lenses

    Orange and Red

    In addition to the benefits of the Clear and Yellow lenses:

    • Significantly increase melatonin levels naturally – for immunity and protection against diseases, and for antioxidant activity, anti-aging effects, anti-cancer actions, hormonal balance, and much more
    • Optimise circadian rhythm and sleep quality – less fatigue, greater memory and cognitive function, and better mood the following day
    • Manage sleep problems – such as insomnia, restless nights, early wake-ups, etc.
    • Shift the circadian rhythm – go to bed earlier and fall asleep faster, and combat jet lag
    • Improve recovery and athletic performance
    • Induce relaxation and unwind the body and brain
    • Reduce stress and cortisol levels
    • Prevent mood disorders – suppressed melatonin secretion and poor sleep quality are linked with increased prevalence of emotional dysregulation, depression and anxiety
    • Aid bipolar disorder
    • Reduce ADHD symptoms by calming the minds
    • Prevent major diseases – such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, etc.
    • Prevent weight gain, high blood pressure and obesity – blue light disrupts the metabolism, and hormones that control hunger
    • Improve digestive issues
    • Heal and repair the brain and body at a cellular level, and reduce oxidative stress







    Why Filter Blue Light?

    On average most of us spend more than 10 hours a day in front of digital devices, and even more indoors with unhealthy artificial lighting. Blue light after dark is unnatural and tricks your brain into thinking it’s daytime. It stimulates and energises the brain, which keeps you alert and awake while increasing your cortisol levels. Blue light simultaneously suppresses your body’s melatonin production. Even the smallest amount of blue light after dark is enough to stop the melatonin secretion and revert your melatonin levels to zero in a matter of few minutes.
