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 [1] 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 [2].
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.
