Much ado has been made about blue light, or the short-wavelength, high-energy glow from your devices' screens that contributes to digital eye strain. In somestudies, long-term exposure to it has been linked to retinal damage and the delayed release of melatonin (the hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle). It goes without saying that these effects can make productivity quite difficult, if not impossible.

For premium protection from your screens' eye-straining glow at a very reasonable price point, look no further than theANRRI Blue Light-Blocking Glasses. They're capable of eliminating up to 90 percent of blue light, which dramatically reduces eye fatigue, blurriness, dryness, and premature aging. What's more, you'll sleep better and more deeply at night with less exposure to blue light's disruptive wavelengths.

Blue light frames can run upwards of $75, which makes ANRRI's glasses a stealat just $19.95.
