Is all blue light harmful? No, blue light is naturally occurring part of our atmosphere and we actually need a certain amount for optimal health and development.

Is all blue light healthy? No, indoor artificial blue light that is admitted from fluorescent/LED lighting and lighted T.V., tablets and hand held device screens has long been known to cause vision fatigue in people of all ages. Further studies are required to understand the full impact on retinal health.

Why does it cause vision fatigue? Blue light in the light spectrum causes haze in the atmosphere. When you are looking at a lighted device it is difficult work for your eyes to hold focus on any object inside your arms reach for long periods of time.

How do blue light inhibiting lenses help? A good quality blue inhibiting lens will reduce the amount of blue light visible to your eye, thereby increasing contrast and making it easier for your eye to create sharp focus for longer periods of time.

Are all blue inhibiting lenses equally effective? Not every pair of glasses labeled blue-inhibitor is fully effective because they do not filter enough blue light to make a difference in vision comfort. The percentage of blue light or High Energy Visible light that is filtered is what determines full effectiveness. Ask your optician for suggestions.

Why would I ask for a biodegradable washcloth for Mother’s Day?

It’s my new favorite thing! In fact, it has saved me on paper towel use in my kitchen and provided me a sanitary way to keep counter tops germ free.

I love these crazy things so much I brought them into the shop and gifted them to clients with every Mother’s Day purchase this year.

These multi-use, assorted prints, hypoallergenic, thick Swedish Cloths are odor resistant, biodegradable, dishwasher safe, highly absorbent, scrubby when dry and sponge-like when wet. Perfect in the bathroom as reusable facecloths or to clean the sinks, counters and mirrors and are excellent in the kitchen for drying and cleaning almost EVERYTHING.

What makes these cloths so impressive is their absorption and bio-degradable qualities. The fabric is a tried and true Swedish invention from the 1940s and is made of a perfect blend of high grade cotton and wood pulp. They are durable and dishwasher safe and hold up like a dream. This helps reduce paper towel use and waste. These are literally better than a reusable paper towel and far outperforms any sponges, paper towels or microfiber cloths because they are efficient, resusable, eco-friendly, 100% biodegradable and crazy fun and stylish! They simply make you happy in your task.

This is just one of the cool things Club Eyetopians will be enjoying very soon. Approximately 8×7 $5.99 per towel.
