As Screen Time Holds Steady, New Glasses Promise 95% Blue-Light Cut for Computer Workers

The Postbank Digitalstudie 2026 reports a slight weekly decline in internet use to 67.4 hours — but that still leaves most workers staring at screens for nearly 10 hours a day. Mobile usage accounts for 23.9 of those hours, and the integration of AI is only pushing interaction further. The SPS-Arbeitsplatz-Trendreport 2026 found AI use at work jumped from 59 percent to 75 percent, often without explicit company guidelines. Many employees are even covering the cost of necessary tools themselves.

Against that backdrop, PRiSMA will add a new model to its lineup on June 5, 2026: the FREiBURG LiTE95. According to the manufacturer, the glasses filter 95 percent of blue light, aiming to reduce eye strain during long shifts and improve sleep quality. The starting price is €69.00. Additional versions offering 85, 90 and 99 percent blue-light filtration will also be available.

The growing demand for optical protection is underscored by a recent survey from Megane Top, published in June. Over 70 percent of respondents said they use some form of eye protection — yet only about 26 percent regularly wear sunglasses. That gap points to a reliance on less consistent measures. Quality standards such as the UV400 seal and the CE mark remain critical for effective ultraviolet shielding.

Fachberater recommend color?neutral filters in shades like gray or green. Yellow or orange tints, by contrast, improve contrast perception. For specialized applications such as camera optics, magnetic fastening systems are making it easier to handle filters in professional settings, as recent product presentations from K&F Concept show.

The professionalization of the sector extends to training. In March 2026, North Rhine?Westphalia conducted the first fully digital theoretical journeyman examination for opticians. The aim is to ensure standardized, high?quality testing that reflects the growing technical demands of the trade.
