More Than a Trend — It’s Eye Health for the Digital Age
At The Optical Shop , we know that for most of our clients in Newtonville, Brookline, and Dedham, screens are unavoidable — whether you’re working remotely, studying online, managing a business, or unwinding with a show. But prolonged exposure to high-energy visible (HEV) blue light can cause digital eye strain, dryness, headaches, and even disrupt sleep.
That’s where blue-light filtering lenses come in. Unlike bulky “gamer glasses” with strong yellow tints, our lenses feature a barely visible, stylish amber or clear coating that blocks harmful blue-violet light while preserving true color perception. To others, they look like regular glasses — but your eyes will feel the difference from day one.
And because we understand that your eyewear is an everyday fixture at work, home, and leisure, we ensure your blue-light lenses are paired with frames that fit comfortably around your ears, nose, and face — whether you choose affordable acetate or luxury brands like Ray-Ban and Gucci. With an onsite optometrist, you can update your prescription and add blue-light protection all in one visit.
