What do computer glasses do?
Whether you spend a significant amount of your day on a computer, tablet or smartphone, the blue light that is emitted from these devices may be harming your vision and putting you at risk for developing serious eye diseases later in life.
Blue light emissions create a glare on the screen that can affect the visual contrast and clarity of the image or text you are looking at. As a result, your eyes need to work harder to see clearly. This can lead to eye strain, blurry vision, dry eyes, headaches, and fatigue.
Since blue light emissions can also damage the retina’s light sensitive cells (photoreceptors), prolonged exposure can also increase your risk of developing serious eye diseases in the future.
Computer glasses are designed to mitigate the negative effects of blue light. These specialized lenses filter out blue light to protect your eyes from glare—making it easier for you to see the screen clearly without the eye strain. Blue light blocking lenses can also protect your retina from potential damage and may therefore reduce your risk of serious diseases in the future.
If you spend a significant amount of time staring at a screen, you may want to consider purchasing computer glasses or blue light filters for your lenses. These glasses are available with or without a prescription and are compatible with contact lenses as well.

Nyssa d’Hedouville, O.D., F.A.A.O.
At Mashpee Vision Care, you’ll find the heart and soul of our practice embodied in Dr. Nyssa d’Hedouville. As the primary care optometrist, she is a pillar of our commitment to exceptional eye care in the Cape Cod community.
A resident of Sandwich, Dr. d’Hedouville takes immense pride in serving the vision
needs of locals and visitors. Her journey in optometry reflects her dedication to
advancing eye health across diverse platforms. After working as a licensed optician in Massachusetts, Dr. d’Hedouville returned to school and earned her Doctorate of
Optometry from the New England College of Optometry in Boston in 2005. She
furthered her expertise through a residency in Ocular Disease at the VA Boston
Healthcare System, followed by an extensive two-year fellowship in Optometric
Research. Her groundbreaking research focused on identifying ocular signs linked to
Alzheimer’s and other dementing diseases, culminating in a Masters in Vision Science from the New England College of Optometry in 2010.
Her impact extends further, having initiated and led the Advanced Low Vision Clinic at the Jamaica Plain VA. In 2015, she was instrumental in launching the Optometry Clinic at the Community Health Center of Cape Cod, where she served as Director of Vision Services.
Besides her academic contributions as a former Adjunct Assistant Professor of
Optometry at the New England College of Optometry, Dr. Hedouville has shared her insights at prestigious platforms like the American Academy of Optometry, the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), and the Vision Source Exchange. Her articles have been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Neurology, and the Journal of the American Academy of Neurology, and she has also written for the Optometry Times.
A Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry, Dr. d’Hedouville actively engages in professional societies, including memberships with the Massachusetts Society of
Optometrists and the American Optometric Association. Her office is a member of Vision Source as well as Cape Cod Eye Care Associates. When not devoted to patient care, Dr. d’Hedouville indulges in her passions for fishing, painting, stained glass, and cherishing moments with her family.
