WFH means the screen is the first and last thing you see every day. Blue light suppresses melatonin production — modern screens emit it in abundance, particularly in the 460–490nm range your brain interprets as daylight. Meanwhile, the reading glasses you need are either a separate pair you switch into or a correction you've been squinting past. The SHIELD combines anti-blue-light coating with actual reading correction — one pair handles both jobs in a frame light enough to forget you're wearing.
Reading correction and blue-light protection. One ultralight frame.
- ANTI-BLUE-LIGHT COATING: the coating filters the high-energy blue wavelengths that screens emit most intensely — the same wavelengths that suppress melatonin and delay sleep onset when looked at in the evening. Not a tint that changes how everything looks; a coating that filters the problematic frequencies.
- TR90 ULTRALIGHT FRAME — HOURS WITHOUT FATIGUE: TR90 is a Swiss-engineered polymer frame material that is durable, flexible, and significantly lighter than acetate or metal. It is wearable for multi-hour sessions without the temple pressure that heavier frames build up — the reading experience is the same at hour four as hour one.
- SEVEN DIOPTER STRENGTHS: seven preset diopter strengths from +1.00 to +4.00 cover the standard reader prescription range. Most people in their 40s use +1.00 to +2.00; 50s use +2.00 to +3.00; 60s+ use +2.50 to +4.00. If you have an optometrist prescription, match the sphere value.
- RECTANGLE PROFESSIONAL STYLE — FOUR COLORS: classic rectangle frame in Onyx (C1), Tortoise (C2), Slate (C3), and Bone (C4) — designed to work for daytime professional wear and evening reading without standing out as blue-light glasses. The SHIELD looks like a reading frame because that is what it is.
Blue light at 460–490nm suppresses melatonin production by up to 85% — and two hours of evening screen exposure measurably delays sleep onset.

How blue light shifts your sleep timing
Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) detect blue light and signal the suprachiasmatic nucleus to suppress melatonin — telling the brain it's daytime regardless of what the clock says. Even dim screen use in the 90 minutes before sleep measurably delays melatonin onset.
Blue light in the evening maintains cortisol at a higher level — keeping the stress axis active and the brain in alert mode past the point where natural wind-down should begin. Anti-blue-light filtering in the evening allows cortisol to drop on its natural schedule.
Eliminating the blue light signal from 6pm onward allows melatonin to rise at its natural time — sleep onset becomes earlier and more reliable within 1–2 weeks of consistent evening use, independent of other sleep hygiene changes.
For anyone whose screen time — and reading habit — is dictating their sleep schedule.
The WFH professional who needs readers
Your screen use runs from morning to night, your sleep has drifted later, and you also need reading correction for fine print and evening reading.
SHIELD handles both — anti-blue-light coating protects your melatonin, the diopter correction handles the reading. One frame, one solution.
The delayed sleep phase person
Your natural sleep time has drifted to midnight or 1am. You want to sleep earlier but can't feel tired at a reasonable hour.
Evening blue light is frequently the primary cause of delayed sleep phase in adults. Filtering it 2+ hours before your target sleep time advances melatonin onset — pulling the sleep window earlier over 1–2 weeks.
The eye-strain sufferer
Eyes tired by 3pm. Headaches on screen-heavy days. Difficulty focusing by afternoon — and then you put on your readers for evening work and feel worse.
The anti-blue-light coating reduces the high-energy blue component that contributes to digital eye strain alongside reducing fatigue without affecting colour accuracy or work output.
The late-evening reader
You read before bed — tablet, phone, e-reader — but the light from the screen is delaying your sleep even as you're winding down.
SHIELD filters the screen light that suppresses melatonin without requiring you to change the habit. Read the same way, fall asleep sooner.
The sleep optimiser
You take magnesium, you avoid caffeine after noon, you have a wind-down routine — but your screen use is undermining everything else.
Blue light filtering addresses the most overlooked and most impactful sleep sabotage in the modern home environment. Everything else you do for sleep works better when melatonin is not being suppressed.
Put them on. Read or work. Sleep sooner.
At Your Desk or Screen
Wear the SHIELD throughout your screen-heavy hours. The anti-blue-light coating reduces the melatonin-suppressing wavelengths throughout the day and is most valuable in the two hours before your target sleep time.
Anti-Blue-Light CoatingEvening Reading
Keep them on for evening reading — book, tablet, phone, or e-reader. The coating reduces the screen light that delays melatonin onset without changing how the text looks.
TR90 Ultralight FrameNotice the Change in 1–2 Weeks
Sleep onset typically moves earlier within 1–2 weeks of consistent evening use. Track your sleep timing — most users report feeling tired earlier and falling asleep more quickly at their target time.
