Wired but tired at night? The problem might not be you — it's the light you're staring at.

Why millions of people who feel exhausted still can't switch off after screens — and how a simple orange lens is helping 37,000+ people fall asleep faster and feel sharper the next day.

The Virex orange lens filters up to 99% of the blue light your screens throw at you after dark.

If you've ever finished a long day — physically drained, eyes aching, brain foggy — then lay in bed completely unable to switch off, you already know the frustration. You did everything right. You're tired. And yet sleep just won't come.

Most people blame stress, caffeine, or "just being a bad sleeper." But there's a simpler explanation that has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with a type of light you're exposed to every single evening.

It's not that you can't wind down. It's that your screens are quietly telling your brain it's still daytime.

The screen doesn't switch off — so neither does your brain

Phones, laptops, TVs and tablets all emit a high concentration of blue light. During the day that's fine — it's the same wavelength that daylight is rich in, and it helps you feel alert and focused.

The problem is at night. When blue light hits your eyes after dark, your brain reads it as one thing: it's still daytime, stay awake. It suppresses the natural wind-down process your body relies on to feel sleepy. So you scroll, you watch one more episode, you answer a few more emails — and without realising it, you're pressing the "stay awake" button over and over.

Late night screen use straining the eyes

It's not a lack of sleep. It's unfiltered stimulus — hours of it, right before bed.

Why the orange lens works when clear glasses don't

Here's the part most people get wrong. A faint, barely-there "blue light" lens — the kind that looks completely clear — blocks only a small fraction of blue light. It's better than nothing, but at night it's nowhere near enough.

To actually signal to your body that the day is over, you need to filter blue light at the source. That's exactly what the deeper orange lens does — cutting up to 99% of blue light in the wavelengths that keep you wired.

The result is instantly noticeable: the world through the lens looks warmer, softer and less harsh — while you can still see your screen perfectly clearly. Your eyes relax. And your brain finally gets the signal it's been missing: it's night, you can let go.

"I work at a screen all day and scroll in bed at night — I thought poor sleep was just my life now. Two weeks with the orange pair and I'm genuinely dropping off faster. Wish I'd tried these years ago."

The easiest habit you'll ever keep

There's nothing to charge, install or remember. You put them on when the sun goes down — or an hour or two before bed — and carry on exactly as you were. Watch TV. Answer messages. Play a game. Get the kids down. The lens does the work in the background.

For the daytime, the same frames come in a lighter tint that takes the edge off screen glare and eye strain without changing how everything looks — so you're covered from your first email to your last scroll.

"By 9pm my eyes used to feel like they'd been sandpapered. Now I put these on after dinner and the strain just isn't there. Ridiculously simple, and it works."

Common questions

Will I still be able to see my screen clearly?

Yes. The orange lens makes everything look warmer, but text, video and colours stay perfectly readable. Most people forget they're wearing them within minutes.

What's the difference between the orange, red and lighter lenses?

The deeper the tint, the more blue light it blocks. Orange and red are ideal for the evening and the last hours before bed. The lighter tints are made for daytime screen use to ease glare and eye strain.

Do they fit over regular glasses?

The standard frames are a lightweight one-size fit designed to be worn on their own. If you wear prescription lenses, contact us and we'll point you to the best option.

How long until I notice a difference?

Many people feel less eye strain the very first night. For sleep, we suggest wearing them every evening for two weeks to give your body's natural rhythm time to settle — which is exactly what the 60-day trial is for.

What if they don't work for me?

Then you pay nothing. Return them within 60 days for a full refund. That's the whole point of the risk-free trial.
