Learn how TheraSpecs reduce visual discomfort from bright screens and artificial light, and give your eyes the support they need to stay focused and comfortable.
If your eyes feel uncomfortable, tight, or overstimulated after a long day of screen time or exposure to fluorescent lighting, you're not alone. TheraSpecs® glasses are designed to ease the burden on your eyes by filtering the most irritating wavelengths of light (including blue light)—so you can work, read, and scroll with less strain.
*TheraSpecs lenses can also be made with prescription or reader correction, which, in combination with our light-filtering lens tints, offer comprehensive support for your vision and light sensitivity needs.
TheraSpecs can be your ticket to more comfortable screen use, television watching, retail shopping, and so much more! Our customers not only tell us how much they love our glasses, they SHOW us:

Why Light Can Leave Your Eyes Feeling Strained
From laptops to LED bulbs, we’re surrounded by artificial light every day. And while it may seem harmless, the intensity of the light we're exposed to—along with certain wavelengths of light—can interfere with how clearly we see—and how comfortable our eyes feel over time.1-3
High-energy blue light affects visual clarity
Blue light in the 400–470nm range is especially intense and prone to scattering, which reduces image sharpness and makes it harder for your vision to stay focused.4 This forces your eye muscles to work harder to maintain clarity, especially during tasks like reading, working, or scrolling on digital devices. Over time, that extra effort can lead to eye strain and/or other visual sensitivities like tired eyes or blurry vision.
Other blue light can increase sensitivity
Light in the 480–520nm range, which is in the blue-green spectrum and can be found everywhere including smartphone and other devices, as well as fluorescent and LED lighting, is known to be the most uncomfortable wavelengths for people with photophobia.5 Light-sensitive eyes are likely to contract in response, which may trigger issues like headaches, dry eyes, migraine attacks, eye pain, and more.
Other risks for eye strain and light sensitivity
There are numerous conditions that make people more susceptible to chronic or recurring eye strain, light sensitivity, and other visual problems. Dry eye is the leading cause of photophobia, and migraine and post-concussion patients also experience light sensitivity in high percentages.6,7 These and other disorders only serve to increase the risk of developing eye strain-related sensitivity.
TheraSpecs for Managing Visually Irritating Light
TheraSpecs lenses are designed to target the specific wavelengths that make your eyes work overtime, so you can get through your day with less visual strain. They can help you:
Cut down on the most irritating portions of blue light
Minimize discomfort from artificial lighting
Maintain visual clarity without dulling your view
Feel more comfortable while working, reading, or relaxing on a screen
Plus, TheraSpecs filter more of the problematic light for sensitive eyes when compared with typical blue light glasses.
