Freshie (Orca) - Blue Light Glasses
All Ozeano Blue Light glasses are made to order by our premium Optical partner in Sydney - VSP Optics.
We use TechShield Blue technology - an anti-reflective coating that helps combat digital eye strain. TechShield Blue targets blue light wavelengths associated with digital eye strain (400-430nm), reducing exposure by as much as 85% at its peak.
TechShield Blue has an attractive, near-clear appearance when not in the presence of blue light, and eliminates harsh reflections from the lens surface.
Scientific research has linked the effects of excessive blue light exposure to the onset of digital eye strain in as little as two hours of exposure. And according to The Vision Council, more than half of the population experience symptoms:
- Dry/Sore Eyes
- Headaches
- Tired Eyes
- Watery Eyes
- Blurred Vision
It is important to avoid cheap imitation blue light lenses from places like newsagencies, bargain shops and even pharmacies. A poor quality lens can actually do much more damage than good as it distorts your clarity of vision and may increase the above symptoms drastically.
Design
These sustainable blue light glasses provide the perfect blend of square and round shape, with its rigid top and curved bottom combining to provide a look that will stand the test of time. Featuring a striking frame with a comfy keyhole nose bridge and circular premium prescription lenses, The Freshie is a true classic you can always rely on.
The Orca colour is named after the striking areas of shiny black colour synonymous with the treasured marine mammals.

What is Blue Light?
Blue light is a range of light that contains the highest amount of energy in the visible light spectrum. Light wavelengths are measured in nanometers (nm). Blue light resides in the range from 400-500nm.
Where Does Blue Light Come From?
Historically, we got our daily diet of blue light from the sun. But times have changed and so has the way we light our world. These days blue light is beaming at us from all directions.

Why Does Blue Light Cause Eye Strain?
When blue light enters the eye, it scatters before reaching the retina. Our eyes work overtime trying to focus this scattered light, which they cannot do. Depending on brightness, this out-of-focus blue light can appear as glare. The more blue light in the environment, the greater the glare.
