Blue Light Glasses in Chicago, IL

Block Blue Light with Big City Optical

Screens are everywhere — in fact, the average American spends seven hours a day looking at a device of some kind. For many, these screens are necessary for daily activities at work and school, but overexposure to them and the harmful blue light they produce can lead to vision problems and uncomfortable symptoms. At Big City Optical, we have what you need to filter blue light and avoid its resulting symptoms.

What is Blue Light?

Blue light is a high energy, short wavelength light emitted from most light sources. Our widespread daily use of mobile phones, televisions, computer monitors, and tablets has resulted in our eyes being bombarded by blue light on a regular basis. This has led to a rise in computer vision syndrome, a condition that is characterized by excessive screen use.

Symptoms of Computer Vision Syndrome

Symptoms of computer vision syndrome include persistent eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes, and neck and shoulder pain, all of which are exacerbated by prolonged digital screen use. These problems interfere with essential daily tasks at work or school, and can negatively impact leisurely activities like reading, sports, and video games. It is essential to seek help from an eye care professional if you’re experiencing these symptoms, as they can lead to more serious conditions if left unmanaged.

Needed to adjust my new glasses purchased somewhere else, and found this place. The guy who greeted me was super nice and he was able to help me adjust. I didn’t feel any dizziness after the adjustment. Highly recommend!

Had an eye exam and ordered new glasses as a first-time patient. Check-in, exam, and ordering all went flawlessly. Staff and doctor were very friendly. Loved that I did not need to have my pupils dilated! David recommended some great frames. Will definitely go back for my next exam.

I went to Big City Optical the other week and wanted to give a shout out to AJ! My youngest son snapped off a piece of my oldest son's glasses and he was able to put it back together and quickly. He was friendly and professional--definitely an asset to this place! Thank you AJ!!!

I called and spoke to Ray at this location. I was calling because I was ordering a pair of prescription sunglasses and needed clarification on my prescription results and whatnot. She was extremely helpful during my interaction. She provided me what I needed on my call, but I had to call back for an additional question. Where I was expecting a level of annoyance for me to call right back, she was still extremely helpful and patient and provided me with all the information I needed. I really appreciated her professionalism and willingness to assist me.

The staff is fabulous, they were so helpful and patient because I am obnoxiously fussy when it comes to my eyewear but it's difficult for me to see you when I don't have my glasses on. I left feeling confident that the staff helped me choose the frames that best suited my face without pushing expensive options. They genuinely took the time to help me find the frames that I like that we're also complementary to my Facial features. The selection was stellar, and the frames that are made it and house where affordable and stylish. I also had an eye exam and this was the first time I had an exam with such modern equipment. It was lovely, not having that puff of ere affordable and stylish. I also had an eye exam and this was the first time I had an exam with such modern equipment.
