Clear and healthy vision is critical to your quality of life, so investing in good quality frames is a critical step to take. When you purchase a cheap pair of glasses, you may be saving money in the short term, but are also putting your ocular health at risk.

Investing a little more in a pair of eyeglasses with blue light lenses is critical because the harmful blue light emitted from screens can negatively impact your vision and lead to a higher risk of:
