Xiaomi’s MIJIA platform is where the Chinese company
announces its crowdfunded items, most of which are under the general lifestyle
category. This year it has added eye glasses to its catalog, four so far, and
it doesn’t seem it is stopping anytime soon. Turok Steinhardt, the company that
made three out of the four glasses, has announced a new pair of anti-blue light
glasses.
The glasses protects the eyes from blue light
emitted by phone’s LED TVs, computer monitors, and fluorescent lights. Not all
blue light is actually bad but just the ones emitted by electronics and LED
lights. The effect of blue-light includes dry and strained eyes, blurry vision,
headaches and a damaged sleep cycle.
The Turok Steinhardt anti-blue light glasses protects
the eyes by using a yellow-tinted filter. It is said to have a 35% blue-light
blocking rate. The glasses measures 54 –
17- 138 mm (frame size, nose width, and frame width) and is super-light
at just 8g, just a little more than an A4 paper. It is already on sale for ¥ 99
(US$ 15).
