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
The Wategos blue light glasses are an inspired tribute to Wategos Beach, the picturesque gem nestled just below the famous Cape Byron Lighthouse in Byron Bay.
These sustainable blue light glasses provide a classic yet modern look thanks to their timeless round design and versatile aesthetic.

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.

100% protection!
All of our lenses offer UV400 A/B protection. 'UV400' refers to UV rays at the top end of the UV spectrum, up to the 400-nanometre wavelength. Our lenses block 100% of these UV rays, which provides you with the most possible protection you can get.
All our sunglasses have Category 3 lenses which are best for daytime driving conditions — any higher is considered too dark to drive safely. They are also polarised which reduces the glare!
This is why we offer our Free Home Try-On service! If they don't suit you and you have used this feature you can simply return them for free :)
Our sunglasses are backed by a 90 day warranty. If you break them, we replace them! Please view our warranty section to view the terms and conditions.
We sure do! Currently we offer AfterPay so you can wear your new sunnies straight away and pay them off with four small repayments.
Our sunglasses are made from a material called cellulose acetate, which derives from wood pulp!
It is renewable, and much better for the environment than traditional plastic sunglasses which derive from fossil fuels.
