Frequently Asked Questions

Wearing blue light glasses helps protect your eyes during long hours on digital devices. In the daytime, yellow tinted lenses from ORA Charge are ideal for reducing eye strain, headaches, and fatigue caused by screens and harsh indoor lighting. They filter the most intense blue peaks and up to 70% of the blue spectrum while keeping your vision sharp and bright.

As evening approaches, switch to amber or red lenses. These block stronger blue light that can disrupt melatonin production, helping your body wind down naturally and improving sleep quality. With the right pair for each time of day, you support healthier life, steadier energy, and better rest.

The SunDown lens (orange tint) and NightFall lens (red tint) are both designed to block harmful artificial light, but they serve different situations.

SunDown (Orange Lens) blocks 100% of blue light and is ideal for use in the evening hours. Its lighter amber tone maintains more natural color perception while supporting melatonin production and helping your body prepare for rest. It’s perfect to wear at indoor situations when with family or friends without feeling completely disconnected from your environment.

NightFall (Red Lens) takes protection a step further by blocking 100% of blue light and 100% of green light up to 550nm. These lenses are built for nighttime use, especially in the hours right before sleep. By removing both blue and green wavelengths, they allow maximum melatonin release and help your body enter deep, restorative sleep.

In short:

• SunDown: Best for early evening relaxation and screen use at night time.
• NightFall: Best for full nighttime protection, recovery, and optimal sleep quality.

Most blue light coatings applied by optometrists only reflect a small portion of blue light, usually up to 430nm, and leave your eyes exposed to the most harmful wavelength around 455nm, the peak emitted by LED screens and artificial lighting.
These coatings are typically surface treatments, not true filters, and often lack detailed specifications or proven lab testing.

At ORA Charge, our DayMax yellow lenses block 100% of the harmful 455nm wavelength and up to 70% of the blue spectrum, offering the best level of daytime defense available.

Each ORA Charge lens is designed for a specific time of day to support your body’s natural rhythm.

DayMax (yellow lens) is made for daytime use, filtering blue light down to balanced, natural levels that protect your eyes and energy while keeping colors clear and bright.

At night, however, any blue light tells your brain it’s still daytime. That’s why DayMax lenses aren’t made for after sunset, they don’t block all blue light, so they can’t support melatonin production or deep sleep.

For the evening hours, switch to SunDown (orange lens). It blocks 100% of blue light and helps your body start winding down.

When it’s close to bedtime, move to NightFall (red lens), which blocks 100% of blue and green light up to 550nm giving your body complete darkness signaling for restorative sleep and recovery.

We don’t recommend using NightFall glasses (red lenses) during the daytime. These lenses block 100% of blue and green light up to 550nm, sending your brain a strong signal that it’s night-time. Wearing them during the day confuses your circadian rhythm leading to fatigue, low motivation, and disrupted sleep patterns later in the evening.

Blue light itself isn’t the problem. We need it during the day for energy, focus, and alertness.
The issue is artificial blue light in isolation, from screens and indoor lighting, delivered in unnatural amounts and peaks that the body isn’t built for.

That’s why ORA Charge DayMax (yellow lens) and SunDown (orange lens) exist.

• DayMax filters 100% of the damaging 455nm spike, keeping your eyes comfortable while maintaining healthy daytime alertness.
  
• SunDown is perfect for evening use, blocking 100% of blue light to help you wind down naturally before sleep.
  
• NightFall, on the other hand, is designed for complete light protection after dark, ensuring your body releases melatonin and prepares for deep, restorative rest.
  

Each lens has its time and purpose.
Use them in alignment with your circadian rhythm, to keep your health in perfect balance.
