Confession: my screen time has been on the rise since social distancing began, and this will probably not change anytime soon. The truth is, I spend most of my work days glued to my computer, save for the occasional walks outside or around the house. Zoom meetings and emails aside, I also do a lot of reading on my phone and catch up with family members on FaceTime. Basically, the majority of my interactions now revolve around my laptop or phone.
One of the essentials I bought after setting up my home office was a pair of blue-light glasses. If you've ever felt eye fatigue from working long hours behind a computer or had trouble sleeping from too much screen time, consider investing in a pair. They come with special lenses that block out rays from digital screens, which helps reduce potential damage to your retinas.
Now, just because they're a necessity, doesn't mean they can't have a fashionable flair. That's why I curated 11 polished options that will take you from morning writing to late-night emailing in style.
