Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get blue block lenses in Zambia?
You can get blue block lenses at any of Optica's 15+ branches across Zambia. You can also browse our full range online and choose home delivery or branch pickup. Our trained opticians are available in-store to help you find the right frame and lens combination.
How long does it take to get my glasses ready?
Non-prescription blue block lenses are typically available the same day at the branch or delivered within 2–3 working days. Prescription lenses may require additional processing time. Visit any Optica branch or contact us for specific turnaround times.
Do blue block lenses work for gaming?
Yes, gamers are one of the biggest beneficiaries of blue block lenses. Long gaming sessions can cause significant eye strain, headaches, and fatigue. Blue block lenses help reduce these symptoms, allowing for more comfortable extended play. Look for lenses with anti-reflective coating for the best gaming experience.
Can I wear blue block lenses all day?
Yes. Clear blue block lenses can be worn throughout the day, just like regular glasses. They don't distort your vision or affect colour accuracy significantly. Many people wear them from the moment they start working until they go to bed, especially if they're regularly in front of screens.
Do I need an eye test to buy blue block lenses at Optica?
An eye test is only required if you want prescription blue block lenses. For non-prescription options, you can purchase directly without a consultation. However, we always recommend booking a regular eye test to monitor your overall eye health, especially if you spend long hours on screens. Book yours at any Optica branch.
Are blue block lenses good for night driving?
Blue block lenses can help reduce glare from oncoming headlights and streetlights, which some drivers find helpful at night. However, note that darker or heavily tinted lenses may reduce overall brightness, so clear or lightly tinted blue block lenses are generally recommended for driving.
What are blue block lenses used for?
Blue block lenses are primarily used to reduce eye strain and discomfort from prolonged screen use (computers, phones, tablets). They're popular among office workers, students, gamers, and anyone spending 4+ hours daily on screens. They may also help improve sleep quality when worn in the evening by reducing the blue light that interferes with your body's melatonin production.
Can kids wear blue block lenses?
Yes, absolutely. Children spend increasing amounts of time on tablets, phones, and computers for school and play, making them great candidates for blue block lenses. We stock frames and lenses specifically designed for kids. Non-prescription options are especially convenient for children who don't need vision correction.
