The science

Your eyes evolved for daylight, not a screen at arm’s length.

Our eyes evolved under the balanced spectrum of daylight. Screens and LEDs are not balanced: they spike in high-energy blue light, far more concentrated than our visual system was built for, and over long sessions that can overstimulate it. Daytime works on three things.

Your eyes evolved for daylight, not a screen at arm’s length.

Our eyes evolved under the balanced spectrum of daylight. Screens and LEDs are not balanced: they spike in high-energy blue light, far more concentrated than our visual system was built for, and over long sessions that can overstimulate it. Daytime works on three things.

Softer screens

Daytime filters 82% of blue light between 400 and 500nm, where screens and LEDs spike hardest.

Easier on your eyes

Overstimulation is commonly associated with eye strain, visual fatigue and headaches. Studies link reducing blue light from screens to a smaller drop in CFF, the physiological marker for eye fatigue (Lin 2017, Ide 2015).

Natural colour

78.6% of all light passes through, so colour and detail stay true while you work.

Through the Lens

This Is What Comfortable Vision Looks Like

The shift is subtle. That's the point.

Daytime doesn't strip your vision - it refines it. The yellow tint selectively filters the harsh spike of blue light your screen produces, while leaving everything else intact. Colours stay true. Clarity stays sharp. What changes is the strain you no longer notice building behind your eyes.

This is precision filtration for people who need to perform, not just protect.

Less fatigue. More focus. All day.

Within days of receiving the glasses my sleep has improved significantly. The yellow glasses work well in the evening.

Very good quality. A little bigger that I’d like but I can make this work.

The quality of these is way better then I was expecting. They feel high end and not at all like something I bought online. I will be buying another pair with the day time lenses.

Excellent quality. Very comfortable to wear. Love how they shade my eyes. I actually put my reading glasses over the top of these balterra shades while im reading, works a treat.

I purchased these glasses to combat the harsh effects from my iPad that I use late afternoon and night.
Glasses are certainly comfortable and of high quality.
I love wearing them at night but I can't really use them while I'm on the iPad or phone as they block out so well that its hard to read my screen.
I think the yellow or orange might have been a better option for me.
I do wear the red glass at night when I'm not on my gadgets.
I highly recommend balerra brand.

Excellent! And so much better than I pair I had from another company. I feel myself relax as soon as I put them on. Makes a genuine difference to how I sleep too. Highly recommend

Absolutely love my Balterra Horizon Night glasses! I've been using them daily when in the studio and also love using them when on board flights too, definitely helps me sleep much better! The blue light reduction is very noticeable and I love how you can continue using your devices in the evening without any effects on your sleep quality. Thanks Balterra!

Absolutely loving my Balterra Horizon Daytime glasses lately ☀️
I’ve been wearing them all day and everything just feels… brighter, warmer like it’s permanently summer. Colours pop, contrast feels richer, and there’s this subtle glow to the world that honestly just lifts your mood.
What I love even more is that it’s not just aesthetic, there’s real science behind it. The lenses are designed to filter specific wavelengths of light, helping reduce harsh glare and visual strain while still enhancing natural light. It’s that perfect balance between clarity and comfort.
Style + science + that endless summer vibe… I’m sold. 😎

Absolutely loving these glasses, not only do they keep my eyes feeling fresh whilst working on screens all day, I'm not feeling tired & I swear they keep me more focused! PLUS they make everything look so yellow and FUN!

I never really considered using these in the day, but after a couple of days I noticed a massive improvement in afternoon tiredness. If you're on screens in an office all day, highly recommend. Quality frames as well

Hands down the best blueblockers PURELY because they are a complete red, others are the orange tint which still lets in some blue light, but having the night+ red just adds that extra layer which other brands don't do. I fall asleep in minutes so I rate them highly

I'm so impressed!! I bought these after looking at the Huberman glasses but wanted to find a local Australian brand instead, after a bit of research I chose balterra based on their designs and scientific specifications. They are seriously like entering another realm when you put them on!! So relaxing and calming, my aversion to artificial light and screens at night time is no longer an issue!
Beautifully wrapped and presented, fast shipping and great personal customer service. Love them so much I've already ordered a second pair. Thanks heaps!

Your cortisol and your screen

Your nervous system is being overloaded

Your cortisol follows a natural rhythm, rising in the morning and declining through the day. Research published in Quality in Sport found that blue light has a measurable stimulatory effect on cortisol secretion, reinforcing what researchers describe as the cortisol stress reaction. Hours at a screen send your nervous system the same signal as morning urgency, well past the point your biology expects it. The effect accumulates quietly, often surfacing as shortened attention and the kind of fatigue that has nothing to do with how hard you worked. Filtering the wavelengths that drive this response regulates the input, providing a more regulated system.

THE CLEAR COATING PROBLEM

Most Blue Light Glasses were never going to work

Most blue light glasses use clear coatings that filter between 10 and 20 percent of incoming light. A Cochrane review of 17 randomised controlled trials found they make no measurable difference to visual comfort. The filtration is simply too low to register. We built the Daytime lens yellow because tinted lenses filter at a level the visual system actually notices. Research on blue-violet filtering spectacle lenses has found significant improvements in contrast sensitivity and visual acuity. At 82% filtration, independent spectrometer verified, the gap between ours and a clear coating is not a marketing distinction. It is the difference between a result and no result.

TWO Mechanisms - One cause

Your Eyes Weren't Designed to Stare

When you focus on a screen, your blink rate can drop by up to 66 percent, from around 15 blinks per minute to as few as 5. But reduced blinking is only part of the picture. Blue light wavelengths have been shown to directly destabilise the mucin layer of the tear film, the component responsible for anchoring moisture to the surface of the eye, regardless of how often you blink. A 2016 study in PLOS One found that filtering short-wavelength blue light significantly improved visual acuity in patients with unstable tear films.

The Right Light at the right time

When to Wear

Designed for the peak of your day.

Our yellow lenses are made for moments spent under artificial light, not natural sunlight. Wear them indoors during daylight hours — in offices, studios, or anywhere screens and LEDs dominate.

Whether you're deep in creative flow, working through your 9-to-5, or navigating digital spaces, these lenses filter harsh blue light without dimming your clarity.

Wear them:
– During computer work or screen exposure
– Under bright indoor lighting
– In co-working spaces, offices, or retail environments
– While commuting on overcast days or through city lights

Not for use outdoors in natural sunlight.
For full protection at night, transition to our Amber or Red lenses when the sun goes down.

Frequently asked questions

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.

Light-weight, comfortable frames that look great. Luxe packaging. A really quality product all around, and they do truly make a difference to how my eyes feel after prolonged screen time.

Hi Laura, we're so glad to hear you love the Horizon - Daytime frames! Thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing Balterra.

These have been so cute and really help to calm my mind especially when at busy even
ts with lots of light or when working at the desk all day

The glasses are literally the best of the lot!
Very premium quality, packaging and build literally makes me feel like these are a $1000 dollar pair. Shipping was very quick, got it in under 4 days. Carrying them around everywhere now!
Would highly recommend!

Within days of receiving the glasses my sleep has improved significantly. The yellow glasses work well in the evening.

I love these glasses while driving on those cloudy clairing days.

Game changers! I thought it would blur my screens/make everything mono colour but it literally makes everything so crisp. Got horizon Night to go with them and they are unreal too.

Unless I’m needing my ACTUAL sun glasses, these will replace my fashionable pairs of raybans and Dr Franklins for the forseeable future. Fit so well on the face unlike most my other sunnies that I need to take off to every now and then.

Wouldn’t bother buying from any other company if blue light blocking & all day comfort with style is what you’re after.

My eyes INSTANTLY felt less strained. As someone who is constantly in front of a screen I was actually shocked how my eyes felt as soon as I put on these glasses. I am so excited to see long term affects as in this short while I already can focus better and my eyes don't feel sore. On an aesthetics level, i am obsessed with the branding . The quality of these feel beautiful as well- they feel solid and not cheap. Highly recommend if you're someone who is in front of a screen a lot.

Stylish and can wear these outside too as they look so stylish.

amazing blue blocking glasses- cant take them off ever since they have arrived!!! Thanks for these perfect bluelight blockers, reduced headaches and eye strain when using my screen.
