Smart glasses and your eyes: let's untangle the truth from the falsehood
With the rise of smart glasses, one question often arises: is spending hours with an AR display in front of your eyes good for visual health? We asked ophthalmologists to give you a clear answer.
Myth #1: “AR displays are more tiring for the eyes than screens”
False. The MicroOLED screen of the Joey Cyan projects the image at a focal distance equivalent to 3 meters — much farther than your smartphone. Your eyes work much less to accommodate the image.
Myth #2: “The blue light from AR is dangerous”
Partially true, but managed. Joey Cyan incorporates a TÜV Rheinland certified blue light filter in all its models, reducing harmful blue light emission by 40%.
Good practices to adopt
- The 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at an object 6m away for 20 seconds
- Hydrate your eyes: remember to blink regularly
- Adjust the brightness: use the automatic setting
- Consult your ophthalmologist: an annual check-up is still recommended
For contact lens or corrective eyewear users
Joey Cyan is compatible with optical corrections up to -6 diopters. The Optical model directly integrates custom corrective lenses.
What studies say
A study conducted on 500 users over 12 months showed no degradation of vision among regular Joey Cyan users (usage ≤ 8h/day). 78% of participants noted a reduction in their smartphone screen time.
