Other up-and-coming eyeglasses trends 2022

While the 2022 eyeglasses trends we’ve mentioned so far have centered around style, there are other up-and-coming trends that center solely on function. One such trend is to have blue-light lenses.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, people have been spending more and more time on devices. Whether it’s answering emails, watching a film, or scrolling through social media, people are exposed to lots of blue light. Blue light exposure can contribute to eye strain, blurred vision, sore eyes, watery eyes, dry eyes, and headaches. With blue light lenses, eye strain can be reduced as the lenses decrease exposure to blue light coming off computer screens, tablets, smartphones, and TVs.
