Orange Lenses: Evening Balance & Better Sleep
Orange lenses are often called the “sleep support lenses” because of how they filter out disruptive blue and green light in the hours leading up to bedtime. These wavelengths are known to suppress melatonin, the hormone that signals your body it’s time to sleep. By wearing orange lenses in the evening, you give your brain the right cues to relax and prepare for rest.
Key Benefits of Orange Lenses:
-
Filter blue and green light in the evening to protect melatonin production
-
Reduce digital eye strain from late-night screen use
-
Help you fall asleep faster and improve sleep quality
-
Ideal for late-night work, studying, reading, or winding down with TV
Think of orange lenses as the bridge between day and night - letting you enjoy your evening without sacrificing tomorrow’s energy.
Red Lenses: Maximum Protection & Nighttime Calm
Red lenses take things a step further. They block the highest levels of blue and green light, making them the most effective choice when you want to fully protect your sleep cycle. They are especially useful in the last 1–2 hours before bedtime, when even small amounts of blue/green light can disrupt melatonin.
Key Benefits of Red Lenses:
-
Block nearly all blue and green wavelengths linked to sleep disruption
-
Promote deep relaxation and circadian alignment
-
Reduce glare and visual stress in low-light environments
-
Perfect for meditation, winding down, or preparing for sleep
Red lenses are like a nighttime reset button - helping your body fully disengage from artificial light so you can rest naturally.
Why Choose Red or Orange?
Both lenses are designed to give your body a natural rhythm reset, especially in a world dominated by screens and artificial light. Orange lenses are great for evening activities where you still need visibility and function, while red lenses are best for the final hours before bed to maximize rest. Many people use them together - orange earlier in the evening, red as bedtime approaches.
