How to Use our Blue Light Glasses (And Exactly How They Work)
Relieve dry eye, eyestrain and headaches, and get deeper sleep at night - and look cute AF doing it!
Smart nurses around the world are trusting our blue light blocking glasses to protect their eyes, and for good reason.
With our Crystal Microfilter Technology, ours are specifically made for nurses' needs so you can protect your eyes while looking cute AF.
Since we started our business in late 2018, we have sold over 35,000 pairs of blue light blocking glasses already!
In this super brief article we're going to explain how to use them, more about why ours work so well, and the blue light issue as a whole.
How Often You Should Use Them
One of the most common questions we get is when to wear your blue light glasses.
The answer is simple: as much as you want! There is no downside to protecting your eyes from artificial blue light.
If you like them, you can absolutely wear them all day.
If for any reason you don't want to wear them all day, we strongly recommend you wear them a few hours before bed, especially if you're around artificial lighting and screens.
Always wear them in front of screens.
To our last point, you should always wear them while you're in front of a screen, especially if that screen doesn't have any blue light filter.
This means to wear them while charting at work, on your computer at home, or any other time you're in front of a screens.
You should wear them in front of your phone screen as well, especially before bed!
Any other time you have headaches from artificial light.
This could include at work while you're surrounded by artificial lights, or at home if you can't turn the light off a few hours before bed.
Of course, many of our nurses love to wear our glasses all day because they protect their eyes and look super cute in them! If you want to as well, go for it! There's no downsides!
The rule of thumb: any time artificial light is bothering you, if it's a few hours before bed, or if you're using a screen, just put them on!
"What if I have a prescription?"
Unfortunately we don't offer our glasses in prescription at this time.
If you need reading glasses, we do sell our Night Shifter Leopards in readers.
Also, if you wear contacts, you can still wear our glasses!
It may sound funny at first to wear glasses over your contacts, but it works very well for many of our nurses. This is because our glasses are for eye protection only and have no effect on vision.
So you can wear them and use them just as we say above, whenever you feel like you need the protection against headaches and you're surrounded by artificial lights.

Our Special Crystal Microfilter Technology
Our Special Crystal Microfilter Technology is optimized so you can block blue light as effectively as possible WITHOUT any ugly orange lenses.
It works specifically by:
- Filtering out approximately 80% of blue light in the most harmful range, (420nm).
- Maintains a clear look (blue when reflecting blue light) so you want to wear them all day.
- Doesn't distort your vision with any hideous orange lenses.
They are made of Acetate to effectively filter out blue light AND avoid damage from falls. They're also anti-glare, anti UVA and UVB!
(Plus they're sooo cute!)
It's no wonder that over 35,000 nurses have bought from us and are raving about our glasses!
What's so bad about Blue Light?
Your body naturally responds to blue light for regulation of your sleep-wake cycle.
The problem is that artificial, High Energy Visible (HEV) blue light emits from most electronics you're exposed to, like LED lights, TV, computers, phones and tablets.
HEV blue light has shorter wavelength than other colors in the visible spectrum causing light to scatter outward, decrease contrast and strain your eyes.
Symptoms of over exposure to blue light include blurry vision, difficulty focusing, dry and irritated eyes, eyestrain poor sleep, and even issues like weight gain and dry skin.
This has been proven by Harvard University, The Sleep Foundation, The American Journal of Epidemiology, and many more!
In fact, blue light related complaints, specifically digital eyestrain, has now carpal-tunnel syndrome as the biggest computer related complaint!

Them day off vibes. 😋 Not worrying because my eyes aren’t strained after staring at a computer all night. These ‘Nightshifters’ glasses alter as my partial “PPE” glasses with the 💥SUPER POWER💥 of blocking ‘blue lights’ from electronic screens. 👓👓👓👓👓👓🥽🥽🥽🥽🥽🥽🥽 I gave these ‘Night Shifters’ glasses from @nursesonlyclub a whirl for about a month. I have to say my eyes aren’t as dry and red at 0300 than previously. I usually carry eye drops because halfway into my shift, my eyes are red and itchy. Maybe the glasses are warding off the AC winds from up-top in the freezing ER which are contributing to my delight. Anywho, I truly love these glasses and the way it fits my face. I get great compliments about them and the best thing for me, they aren’t prescription. I know. I know. This isn’t to brag about eye sight or anything, but I’m glad they make these blue light deflectors for someone like me.

I also purchased your day shifter glasses (clear) and that has helped my eyes so much!! I was looking at screens all day as a nursing student/dance teacher during the lockdown and my eyes would hurt and water, I would get massive headaches, migraines and feel so dizzy and sick, however as soon as I wore these glasses, I felt amazing! No more irritated eyes, no more blue light influenced headaches, I am able to go through the day feeling so much better!

These glasses are not only adorable but they have helped my eyes out so much. I have been working night shift for two years now and I noticed my vision started getting blurry when I looked at the monitors at work. I work in the CVICU so I am looking at monitors 98% of my night so this is not good, especially since I got lasik 2 years ago. I did some research and came across nurses only club. The difference I have noticed working overnight is crazy. My eyes feel so much less stressed out as the morning rolls around and the screens are noticeably smoother to look at... and added bonus, eye protection. ;)

so I got these glasses a week ago and I have noticed a big difference! I forgot them at home one day and boy did I feel it. I was skeptical at first but now I'm a believer!

I wear these glasses from 11 to 7. I go back-and-forth while wearing them then on top of my head throughout my shift. I wear them for a total of 4 hours...maybe longer. And just from wearing them for two shifts, I can sleep a lot better. So I think they are worth the money. Today I slept sound from 9 - 430!

By far the best accessory I own for work. These glasses got rid of all my night shift headaches, the feeling of my eyes straining and best of all; I can fall asleep faster. I get compliments daily & happily refer to this site. I have others from other retailers and they don’t compare to the quality of Nursesonly.club. Highly recommend to any nurse on any shift. You won’t regret this purchase!

I am a senior nursing student and I have struggled with headaches at clinical ever since I started nursing school. At first, I attributed them to not eating enough protein or drinking enough water (or coffee) but after fixing both of those things I still got headaches. These glasses were my last ditch effort thinking they were caused by eye strain. The 9 shifts I've worn them so far I only got 1 headache and it was my first day using them so I figured it was because my eyes were trying to get used to them. They look incredible, I wear them even when I'm not working on the computer. There is a noticeable blue glare but I've gotten over that because it basically cured my headaches lol. GREAT purchase! And I'm thinking of ordering another pair in a different color once I have some money to spend!

These glasses have changed my life as a night shift worker; I highly recommend them. I have worn mine every single day since arriving in the mail. Which was fast considering I am from Australia 🇦🇺 They make a huge difference with no more eye-straining, headaches or dry, sore eyes. I will deffs be buying more in every colour. Feeling so blessed to have NOC. Thank you so very much xxx

Okay let me start out by saying BUY THESE GLASSES! I bought them a few weeks ago and I have been so pleased with the results. Within minutes of getting them, I put them on and the difference was so drastic. My headache was gone in 30 minutes and I took a life changing nap! I work nights and do online schooling on my days off, so these glasses have truly saved my eyes. My only regret is not buying a second pair at half price during checkout! These glasses are amazing!!!
