The Science
Night+Red lens
What reaches your eyes from a 5000K LED, with and without the lens
Independently verified by APR Laboratory (NATA #15508)
Unfiltered source modelled as a 5000K white LED. Lens curves from independently verified data.
Night+ red lens. Blocks 99.9% of blue light and 99.9% of green light. About 13% of all light passes through.
Artificial light after sunset does more than stimulate the eye. It influences circadian timing. The wavelengths most responsible for suppressing melatonin sit in the blue and green spectrum, from approximately 400 to 570nm.
Most night-time lenses focus on blue light alone.
Night+ goes further.
It blocks 99.9% of blue light and 99.9% of green light across this range. This reduces the light signals that delay natural melatonin onset and shift your internal clock later.
The deep red tint is not aesthetic. Night+ blocks 87% of all light, so intensity comes down as well as wavelength, while indoor visibility stays functional.
This is our most complete circadian lens.
Designed for evenings where light hygiene is non-negotiable.
Through the Lens
This Is What Night Should Look Like
The deep red tint isn’t a side effect. It’s the mechanism.
Night+ blocks 99.9% of blue and green light, leaving the wavelengths your brain associates with darkness. It also blocks 87% of all light, so what reaches your eyes is dimmer as well as redder. That can look intense at first. It is exactly what your biology has been waiting for: biological darkness.
The world doesn’t disappear. Your screen still works. You can still work. Your conversations still happen.
But for the first time after sunset, your brain gets the signal that it’s night.

The Mechanism
Protect your sleep
Your brain uses light to tell the time. Not a clock on the wall. The light coming through your eyes.
When you look at a screen after dark, your brain reads that light as daylight. So it holds back the sleep hormone (melatonin), keeps your stress hormone (cortisol) running, and waits for the light to change. It does not matter how tired you feel. Until the signal changes, your body stays in daytime mode.
Night+ removes that signal. Your brain gets the cue it has been waiting for, and the process of winding down can finally begin.

The 2 Hour Protocol
Wear 2 hours before bed for deeper, more restorative sleep
our body begins preparing for sleep long before you close your eyes.
Around 2 hours before your natural sleep time, melatonin starts to rise, your core body temperature drops, and cortisol begins to fall. This is your biology's most important window. Artificial light during these hours does not just delay sleep onset. It disrupts the entire cascade: compressing deep sleep, delaying growth hormone release, and leaving your cortisol running when it should already be winding down.
Worn during these 2 hours, Night+ removes the wavelengths your body is most sensitive to, so the process your biology has already started can continue uninterrupted.

Beyond Any amber lense
Our most advanced lens. Blocks both blue and green light.
Most people know blue light affects sleep. Fewer know that melatonin suppression does not stop there.
Green wavelengths are equally capable of telling your brain it is still daytime. Night+ blocks 99.9% of blue light and 99.9% of green light up to 570nm, the most comprehensive spectral coverage in the Balterra lens system and the most complete filter we make for the hours before bed. See the independent test results.

The Right Light at the right time
When to Wear
Designed for Sunset to Sunrise
Our red Night+ lenses are designed for moments when any artificial light exposure can delay melatonin and disrupt deep rest.
Wear them from sunset to sunrise, including the early hours of the morning if you wake before daylight. Whether you’re winding down at night or navigating artificial light before dawn, these lenses shield your rhythm when it matters most.
Wear them:
– During your nighttime routine under indoor lighting
– While watching TV, scrolling, or reading at night
– In the early morning before sunrise
– During sleep interruptions (e.g. caring for a newborn)
– While travelling across time zones or on night shifts
– In any artificial light setting after sunset
Not for use during the day or outdoors.
For earlier evening wind-downs, choose our Amber Night Lens. For daytime protection, explore the Yellow Daylight Lens.

Frequently asked questions
When Do I wear my Balterra Blue Light Blocking Glasses
Use Daytime lenses during the day in indoor or screen-heavy environments to reduce eye strain and support focus. Switch to Night (Amber) in low‑light evening settings—dim lamps, or go Night+ (Red) under intense artificial light—TV's, phones, LEDs, or overheads—for complete circadian protection.
Can I wear my Balterra Glasses All Day
Yes — when indoors and exposed to artificial light. Our lenses are designed to support your circadian rhythm by filtering overstimulating blue light from screens and LEDs.
However, they’re not intended for natural sunlight. For best results, wear them inside — and let real daylight reach your eyes when outdoors.
When will I get my order?
Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days. Once dispatched, you’ll receive a confirmation email with tracking details so you can follow your delivery in real time.
Please note: during peak periods or product launches, dispatch may take slightly longer — but we always aim to get your order to you as quickly as possible.
Can I wear Balterra glasses with contact lenses or prescriptions?
Absolutely. Our non-prescription glasses are perfect for contact lens wearers. If you need prescription lenses, we’re working on custom RX options — stay tuned.
What if the frames don’t suit me?
We offer a 30-Day Right Fit Guarantee. Try them on at home — if the fit isn’t quite right, return them in reasonable condition and we’ll help you find the right pair or issue a refund.
