What are computer glasses?
Computer glasses are eyewear designed specifically to reduce the visual stress caused by prolonged screen use. Unlike regular sunglasses or prescription glasses, computer glasses are optimised for the intermediate distance between your eyes and a screen, typically 50 to 70 centimetres.
The defining feature is a blue light blocking lens. Screens emit high-energy visible (HEV) blue light at the shorter wavelength end of the visible spectrum. Extended exposure has been linked to eye strain, disrupted sleep, and increased visual fatigue. Computer glasses filter a portion of this light before it reaches your eyes.
Quick fact
The average Indian professional spends 7 to 9 hours per day on screens across work, entertainment, and social media. That is more than most Western countries, yet awareness of blue light protection remains low.
Does blue light blocking actually work?
The honest answer is: yes, for eye strain. Most people who switch to blue light blocking glasses report noticeably less end-of-day fatigue, fewer headaches, and improved comfort during long work sessions. The effect is most pronounced for those working more than six hours on screens daily.
On sleep, the evidence is more mixed. Some studies suggest filtering blue light before bedtime supports natural melatonin production. Others show modest effects. The consensus among optometrists is clear though: blue light filtering lenses cause no harm and offer meaningful comfort benefits for heavy screen users.
What to look for when buying computer glasses in India
Not all blue light lenses are equal. Look for frames that filter in the 380 to 450 nm wavelength range, which covers the most high-energy portion of visible blue light. Rawbare Frames use blue block lenses targeting this range, reducing glare and screen fatigue without significant colour distortion.
Some blue light lenses add a strong yellow tint that makes screen colours inaccurate. This is a problem for design work, video editing, or anyone who needs colour accuracy on screen. Clear or near-clear lenses with an anti-reflective coating are ideal for most screen users.
You will wear these glasses for hours at a stretch. Heavy frames cause nose and temple pressure that becomes uncomfortable fast. Look for lightweight materials under 30 grams with balanced weight distribution. Rawbare Frames average 28 to 32 grams depending on the style.
If you already wear prescription glasses, buying a separate non-prescription computer pair doubles the cost. Look for prescription-ready frames where the stock lenses can be swapped at any optical store. Every frame in the Rawbare Frames collection is prescription-replaceable.
Computer glasses live on your face or desk every day. Frames that flex, scratch, or break easily become a constant frustration. Look for durable materials with reinforced hinges. Rawbare Frames are built for daily wear with scratch-resistant finishes and a 6-month warranty.
Why prescription-ready frames matter
Most people with vision correction end up buying two separate pairs: their regular prescription pair and a separate set of computer glasses. This doubles the cost and the hassle.
Prescription-ready frames solve this entirely. Buy a frame you like, take it to your nearest optician in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, or anywhere in India, and have the lenses swapped to your prescription with blue block coating added. One frame, one cost, one pair to manage.
How it works
Buy your Rawbare Frame online. Take it to your nearest optician with your prescription. Ask for lenses cut to your power with blue block coating. Most opticians across India complete this within 24 to 48 hours for Rs.500 to Rs.1,500 depending on prescription complexity.

Frequently asked questions
Q1 Are computer glasses the same as blue light glasses?
Yes, the terms are used interchangeably. Both refer to eyewear with lenses that filter high-energy blue light from screens. Computer glasses may also be optimised for intermediate viewing distances, but in everyday usage both terms mean the same thing.
Q2 Can I use Rawbare Frames as prescription glasses?
Yes. Every frame in the Rawbare Frames collection is prescription-replaceable. Take the frame to any optical store and ask them to replace the stock blue block lenses with prescription lenses cut to your power. Most opticians across India complete this within one to two days.
Q3 Do blue light glasses help with headaches?
Many users report a reduction in screen-related headaches after switching to blue light blocking glasses. Eye strain from prolonged screen use is a common trigger for tension headaches. Reducing the load on your visual system with blue block lenses can lower the frequency and intensity of these headaches for heavy screen users.
Q4 How many hours of screen time make computer glasses worth it?
Most optometrists recommend computer glasses if you spend more than three to four hours daily on screens. For work from home professionals in India averaging seven or more hours, the benefit is significant and noticeable from the first day of use.
Q5 Are Rawbare Frames durable enough for daily use?
Yes. Rawbare Frames are built from durable lightweight materials with reinforced hinges designed for all-day wear. Every frame comes with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects.
