In a nutshell, our blue light blocking eyewear is the hero your eyes have been waiting for.

Identification of Your Sunglass Lenses
Knowing which type of sunglass lenses you own and maintaining them correctly are two keys components to their long-term care and maintenance. Different lens materials possess unique properties and require specific cleaning instructions in order to prolong their longevity; so let's explore various kinds of sunglass lenses along with how best to care for them.
Plastic Lenses
Plastic lenses are an increasingly popular choice in sunglasses due to their lightweight nature and impact resistance, made of lightweight yet impact resistant durable plastic materials which offer optimal eye protection. Unfortunately, one drawback of using plastic lenses for sunglasses can be their susceptibility to scratches - therefore using appropriate cleaning techniques should help minimize this potential hazard.
For optimal plastic lens care, a microfiber cloth or lens cleaning solution designed specifically for them should be used when cleaning them. Harsh chemicals or abrasive materials could damage their coating or cause scratches; to achieve best results when wiping lenses using circular movements to make sure all dirt and smudges have been eliminated - taking these precautions will keep them looking their best for years!
Glass lenses on the contrary, glass lenses offer greater scratch resistance compared to their plastic counterparts and can withstand daily wear and tear better. While more likely to shatter or crack upon impact than their plastic counterparts, extra care must be taken when handling and cleaning them for best results.
To properly clean glass lenses, start by rinsing them under warm water to clear away loose dirt or debris, followed by gentle use of mild soap or lens cleaning solution containing no abrasives (to ensure maximum clarity) without using excessive force or forceful materials that might scratch or harm them. Finally, after each round of cleaning is finished use microfiber cloth or lens tissue tissue drying cloth or both to restore clarity and prolong longevity in your lenses.
By adhering to these steps you can help preserve their clarity and lifespan of use!
Polarized Lenses
Polarized lenses are sunglasses specifically designed to minimize reflection from surfaces such as water, snow and glass surfaces and reduce glare from these reflective surfaces. Due to their special composition these glasses require careful handling in order to preserve their effectiveness as well as protect their polarizing layer and maintain its effectiveness over time.
Cleaning polarized lenses requires using cleaning agents specifically formulated for them. Household cleaners or harsh chemicals could potentially compromise their polarizing layer, rendering it ineffective. When selecting solutions that will safely cleanse polarized lenses, be mindful to look out for products labeled "polarized-lens safe".
To properly clean polarized lenses, start by rinsing them under warm running water to eliminate loose particles and then applying some of your cleaning solution with microfibre cloth to wipe your lenses gently avoiding excessive force or materials that might scratch or harm their polarization layer. Rinse again and dry them using clean, lint-free cloth - following these guidelines can ensure they maintain both clarity and polarization of lenses!
Keep your sunglasses stored away safely when not being worn to avoid scratches, accidental damage and exposure to harmful elements that could compromise their long-term effectiveness and ensure optimal eye protection and maintain top condition for years. By doing this, they'll remain providing optimal eye care while remaining stylish!
Gathering Cleaning Materials
In order to effectively maintain and care for your sunglasses, it's key that you use appropriate cleaning materials that won't harm the lenses or frames. Caring for them properly ensures their longevity as well as maintaining their pristine condition - let's explore more on what materials can help your shades keep looking brand new!
Microfiber Cloths
Microfiber cloths are perfect for cleaning sunglass lenses without leaving behind scratches or residue. Unlike paper towels or rougher materials such as other cloths, microfiber is soft and gentle on lenses as its microfibril fibers effectively trap and lift away particles that accumulate on lenses leaving your lenses crystal clear! However, making sure the microfibre cloth you are using remains clean to avoid spreading dirt onto lenses while cleaning is underway.
With a microfiber cloth, it is best to gently wipe lenses in a circular motion to ensure all areas of the lens are thoroughly cleansed. Furthermore, these reusing cloths make for an eco-friendly option, and should be washed regularly to eliminate accumulated dirt or oils which might compromise their effectiveness as cleaners.
Lens Cleaning Solutions
When purchasing high-end sunglasses, investing in lens cleaning solutions may be worthwhile. These specially-formulated solutions have been crafted to efficiently clean lenses without damaging their surfaces; typically featuring agents which target dirt but remain gentle enough on lenses themselves for regular cleaning sessions.
When applying lens cleaning solution, it's vital that you follow the manufacturer's directions precisely. In general, apply some to a microfiber cloth before wiping gently across lenses - spraying directly can lead to excess liquid seeping into frames and potentially cause irreparable damage.
DIY Cleaning Solutions mes For an economical cleaning solution, homemade cleaner made of distilled water and dish soap may provide an economical option to protect the lenses of sunglasses without harming their structure or coatings. Simply mix together, and quickly eliminate dirt and oil build-up on lenses in a few steps! This DIY solution makes life simpler while leaving sunglasses looking their best!
Create your own cleaning solution by mixing together some drops of mild dish soap with distilled water (not tap), as tap may contain minerals which could leave streaks or residue behind on lenses. After creating this cleaning solution, pour a small amount onto a clean microfiber cloth and wipe lenses gently using circular motion. Rinse off lenses in clean water then dry with another microfiber cloth afterward.
Note that while DIY cleaning solutions may be effective, their overuse could damage lens coatings or frames over time. Therefore, for best results use commercial lens cleaning solutions on an ongoing basis and save any DIY solutions for occasional use only.
Use proper cleaning materials and techniques to maintain a beautiful pair of sunglasses for years of optimal visibility when you wear them. Clean regularly if they come into contact with dirt, sweat or any other substances to extend the longevity and style of these important eye protection measures. With proper care they will continue protecting eyes as well as adding to your style for years.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Sunglass Lenses
Once we've covered the basics, let's move onto an in-depth examination of how to effectively and thoroughly cleanse sunglass lenses. We will guide you step by step.
Prepping Your Sunglasses for Cleaning Prior to applying any cleaning solution, it's crucial that any loose dust or debris be cleared from your glasses first by shaking or blowing on them gently. This process should remove as much as possible before beginning with any serious cleaning attempt.
When cleaning sunglasses, it's essential that extra precautions be taken so as not to cause damage to their lenses. Sunglass lenses often feature fragile materials which may easily scratch or get dented when mishandled improperly.
One way of cleaning eyewear effectively is using a soft bristled eyewear brush specially designed for eyewear cleaning. Gently rub lenses in circular motion to dislodge any particles that might have become lodged onto their surfaces and dislodge dust and debris that has built up over time.
If you don't have a brush handy, compressed air can also work just as effectively for clearing lenses of debris. Simply hold the can at an appropriate distance from them while using short bursts to clear away dust or other obstacles from lenses.
Now That Your Sunglasses Are Clean
Now that your sunglasses have been rid of loose dust and debris, the next step should be applying cleaning solution. Here you have two choices - either using an externally manufactured lens cleaning solution, or making one yourself.
When selecting a lens cleaning solution, be sure to select one designed specifically for eyewear without harsh chemicals that could potentially wreak havoc with lenses. Simply spray evenly across both lenses.
DIY enthusiasts who prefer taking an alternative route may mix a small amount of mild dish soap in warm water to form a solution, then dip a clean microfiber cloth into this solution before wringing out excess fluid before gently rubbing in circular motions on lenses in circular fashion to evenly spread solution across them.
Note when applying any cleaning solution: it is vital not to oversaturate lenses as this could allow extra liquid into frames, causing damage or altering lens coatings.
After applying the cleaning solution evenly across your lenses, the next step should be wiping and drying them with an anti-microbial microfiber cloth designed to gently yet efficiently wipe away smudges, fingerprints, smudges and dust deposits.
When wiping lenses, always use gentle circular or zigzag motions instead of hard rubbing as this could damage them and potentially result in scratches. Begin in the center and work outward towards its edges in circular or zigzag shapes until reaching all points on its perimeter.
If smudges or fingerprints don't come off with gentle wiping, if necessary you can moisten a cloth slightly with water or cleaning solution and dampen with extra force as a method for removal - being wary not to apply too much liquid at once! Be cautious not to apply too much force.
After wiping the lenses with water-free cleansing solution, take an unwet section of microfiber cloth and pat gently over each lens until all moisture has been eliminated; leaving any moisture behind could result in streaks or water spots on your lenses.
Cleaning your sunglass lenses regularly using these guidelines will extend their longevity and performance while providing clear vision every time they're worn.
Proper care and maintenance of sunglasses is vital to their continued viability and optimal condition. In addition to regular cleanings, make sure they're stored away safely when not being worn and avoid placing them face down on hard surfaces when not needed.
Furthermore, when cleaning sunglasses it's essential not to use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as this could damage their lenses and coatings. Instead, gentle cleaners with soft microfibre cloths are optimal - the latter will also extend its longevity!
By following these steps and taking necessary precautions, you can keep your sunglass lenses clear and unobstructed so you can enjoy sunbathing with improved visual clarity and protection.
Heart-Shaped Face: If you have a heart-shaped face, sunglasses with wider frames may help balance out both your forehead and narrow chin. Cat-eye or aviator styles are especially flattering as they highlight lovely cheekbones and add elegance. By selecting frames which widen out at the bottom instead of narrowing toward your nose bridge, a more balanced and proportionate appearance can be created; additionally, frames with delicate details or embellishments on their temples may draw the eye away from your forehead while adding some glamour and draw the eye away from both features if necessary.
Keep in mind that these guidelines are just generalized guidelines to get you started, with the end goal of finding your favorite style and feeling confident with it. Fashion is all about self-expression and individualism - don't be shy to experiment and play around with various sunglasses styles to see which suits you best! Whether your preference lies with classic, retro or bold and trendy frames; your perfect pair will not only protect your eyes but become part of your signature style as well!

]]>What is blue light?
Blue light is a part of the visible light spectrum that has a shorter wavelength and higher energy than other colors. It is also emitted by electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and LED lights. While blue light is beneficial during the day as it boosts alertness, it can be harmful to the eyes at night when our bodies are preparing to sleep. Exposure to blue light in the evening can lead to insomnia, disturbed sleep patterns, and even mood disorders.
How do blue light blocking glasses work?
Blue light blocking glasses have lenses that filter out blue light, preventing it from entering your eyes. They have a yellow tint that blocks the blue light wavelengths, helping to reduce eye strain, headaches, and fatigue. Blue light blocking glasses also help to regulate your circadian rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep at night.
The importance of wearing blue light blocking glasses for graphic designers
As a graphic designer, your eyes are your most valuable asset. You rely on them to create visually appealing designs, and any damage to them can affect your performance as a creative. As you age, it is increasingly important to protect your eyes so you can continue to produce top-quality work! My go-to style is the Cambridge from Nectar Sunglasses here.
Blue Light Blocking Glasses = Better Sleep
In addition to protecting your eyes, blue light blocking glasses can also improve your sleep quality. As mentioned earlier, blue light can disrupt your body’s natural sleep cycle by suppressing the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep. By wearing blue light blocking glasses, you can reduce the amount of blue light that reaches your eyes and help your body produce more melatonin, leading to better sleep quality and more restful nights.
When it comes to graphic design, it’s important to take care of your eyes. By wearing blue light blocking glasses, you can reduce the strain on your eyes, protect them from damage, and improve your sleep quality. So the next time you sit down to work on a design project, make sure to wear your blue light blocking glasses and take care of your most important tool – your eyes!
]]>Fishing in Charleston can be extremely overwhelming, with the vast marshland, extensive waterways just about everywhere you look, and a diverse ecosystem of different species to target, where do you begin? Here is Nectar's guide to inshore fishing in Charleston.
January to early April the water temperature is rising back up into the mid 60’s and the fish begin to get active again. With the inconsistent weather during these months the fish can sometimes be finicky, we would recommend live bait (mud minnows or mullet) on a popping cork with about a 1.5’ light leader(15-20 pound fluorocarbon). If you like to fish with artificial baits another alternative is a ¼ ounce jighead with a 3-3.5” paddletail, fish it slowly by twitching/bouncing it on the bottom. Some areas to look for when targeting redfish and trout are creek mouths with good water flow, or submerged oyster shelves. During these months the water is pretty clear, having a pair of Nectar polarized sunglasses is a must.
May to late August the water is exploding with life and the water temperature is in the high 70’s low 80’s. Baitfish have moved into the creeks, redfish are on the move, and trout have moved to deeper colder water. The summer months can be a great time to target a lot of species in Charleston, our personal favorite is to fish in the Charleston harbor for bull redfish (40-50+ inches). Using cutbait (mullet or menhaden) with a 4-8 ounce egg sinker (dependent on current) send it down to the bottom and get ready for the fight of your life. Be prepared when targeting big redfish to have a lot of sharks as bycatch in the harbor. Make sure to have a nice pair of polarized sunglasses on to cut the glare off the water when fishing in the harbor, because you might just see spanish mackerel blitzing the surface preying on small glass minnows.
September through late December is hands down the best time to target redfish. Once the water temperature comes down to about 72 degrees the redfish are everywhere and will eat anything. You can use just about any bait from frozen cutbait, artificial lures, or live bait. Also this time of year is best to target trout as well, they will stack up in schools in anywhere from 8-15 ft of water and they love to hit artificial lures like vudu shrimp and paddle tails. Another effective way to catch trout is a live shrimp under a popping cork with a (10-15lb fluorocarbon leader). Let the cork drift through moving water and it will be sure to get smacked!
Some items you should definitely have with you no matter what time of year you are fishing would be plenty of water to stay hydrated, a nice pair of polarized Nectar Sunglasses, and sunscreen are all definitely essential. Remember a day out on the water always beats a day in the office!

]]>Folly Beach go to shades - Greenwich
One of my favorite ways to start off the morning is catching the sunrise on Folly Beach wearing my Greenwich sunglasses. You will always find a pair of these in my beach bag! These polarized shades are perfect for everyday activities, especially days spent under the hot sun. Not only is this pair comfortable and stylish, it also comes in 4 different colorways making it one of our most popular pairs.
Fishing go to shades - The Shockoe
When I’m not laying on the beach or shopping downtown, you will find me on a boat somewhere fishing for redfish. In order to be fully prepared for any fishing trip I always have my Shockoe, eco friendly shades from Nectar. The clear polarized lenses help me see the fish from a mile away! This unisex pair fits almost every face shape and is essential for long days on the water.
Downtown shopping Go to Shades - The Hamptons
For me, shopping in Downtown Charleston can never be complete without a cute outfit and pair of sunglasses. Whether it’s brunch with the girls or walking on King street I always make sure I protect my eyes from the sun! A good cat - eye style can spice up any look! The Hamptons were designed specifically for the fashionistas of the world. Lightweight + stylish these shades are meant for a day out on the town.
Concert Go To Style - The Woodstock
With all of the concerts and festivals in the Charleston Area it’s always good to have a designated pair of shades that keep you protected and looking good! Finding a pair that can match with any festival outfit can always be hard. The Woodstock is a retro inspired pair that are classic and will get you from day to night!

Overall, Nectar’s lifetime warranty program has you covered in every way possible!

]]>When the fall settled and winter was settling in, most weekends I could be found walking the designated trout management area on the Mianus River. Walking the trails and being on the water early Sunday mornings really helped me take my mind off of life at the time. I was in my mid twenties and not having enough money to even be “keeping up” or the “Joneses”. Being on the trails forced me to focus on the beauty of the nature surrounding me. The smell of fallen leaves on the ground, the river, the fish, and it was the only place I could be alone and not have to answer to anyone. I would practice casting while getting my line caught in every tree around me. It did not bother me at all since I could smoke while tying knots and watch the fish through my sunglasses. Casting as a movement calmed me down and being outside made me a better person.
Every year fly fishing lovers from all around throw their polarized sunglasses on top of their heads, grab their vests, and waders to indulge in some of the nations best fly fishing. Rainbows, Brook, Brown trout, pan fish, Small and Largemouth bass, Striped Bass, as well as Red Drum are all fishable in this state. Fishing brook trout, which are native to North Carolina, are found in many streams in the state. Rainbow and Brown trout are not native to the state but have been stocked in many lakes, creeks, and rivers which are suited for their larger size.
The mountains of Western North Carolina boast pristine rivers, streams, legendary scenery and fishing that anglers dream of. I always sport my Nectar Sunglasses whenever I am heading out to go fishing.The lenses, which are all polarized, give me a significant advantage when fishing the streams and rivers. Polarized sunglasses allow me to look through the water and see inside the nook’s crannies of any stream while fishing those hard spots where the fish like to hide. Fishing is challenging and fun at the same time. If you're catching a pickle (nickname for a small trout) or a hog, you will have your fair share of challenges. Even if you are fishing stocked waters. Just because the fish are there doesn't mean they are going to end up on your hook.
Both the Tuckasegee and Watauga rivers can both be found in western North Carolina boasting wild and stocked waters. Bryson City is where I have had a ton of fun on guided float trips. I have had the benefit of some nice sized fish and also connected with some of the best guides in the state. My wife and I love doing guided float trips since the guide can get us into spots we can't wade into. It also helps to have the local knowledge of a guide which is helpful when fishing these waters. My wife bagged a 23” rainbow on our last float trip while I got skunked. Both my wife and the guide were wearing Nectar Sunglasses and were able to spot the fish in a pool next to some rocks.
I love fishing the Green River in Saluda, NC during the winter, early spring and late fall. This is when all the tubers are gone and the fishing is epic. After driving down the notorious 17 switchbacks of Green River Cove Road I always end up at Fish Top. The most common entrance point into the Green River. It has a big bulletin board at the end of the lot showing a map, regulations, limits, and the do’s and don'ts of this amazing location. There are other entry points onto the river as well but this is the most common and we like to hike the trails to get to our spots.
Immediately a fly fisher notices the deep pools surrounded by heavy vegetation and rocks. My waders, Nectar Sunglasses (The Folly), and fly box filled with midges, Woolly Buggers, nymphs, and weight forward fly line on my 5 weight are all I need. Over the years and multiple trips with friends and my wife, we have been able to land big trout in this river. We fish the deep pools and leave the ripples alone. It's a blast and the hikes are always fantastic.
Many people like to raft the upper Green River which has one of the steepest commercially run whitewater stretches in the southeast. It is a stretch of continuous class II and III rapids along with two sections that are class IV. Its about a 4 mile stretch of river that I have yet to attack but then again, I like to attack fish as opposed to rapids. However, once a year the Annual Green River Narrows Race is held here and brings spectators and participants from around the world to test their skills against the rapids.
I have not even begun to discuss the coastal gems of North Carolina such as inshore saltwater fly fishing. Red Drum, Weakfish, Sea Trout, Flounder, and even BonnetHead Sharks, can be found right from shore or in the marshes during high tide. I have had guides take us on walking trips and poling the shallows spotting the black spots on a tailing Redfish. I fish my 8 weight almost exclusively on the coast and have a blast with it. I still wear my Nectar Sunglasses but the Styles I prefer on these trips are the Folly and the Islamorada. They are ideal in these waters and by the time our guided trips are over, the guides are always swearing by them.
No matter where I fish I always take notice of my surroundings and the beauty around me. I now see things through a different set of eyes and recognize that the landscape our world has is changing every year. The human population is growing and so is our imprint on the earth. One day my kids will have kids and I know that the landscape they see will be dramatically different from what it is today. Forget what we saw 20 years ago. I enjoy my times in the wild and now doing so with the people I love. I recognize that I, like many of us, need to make every moment count. Lets all look at the world through a different pair of eyes. With or without Nectar Sunglasses but let's enjoy what we have today.
Best,
David
Here is a breakdown of why polarized sunglasses are the way to go when choosing your next pair of sunglasses.
Polarized sunglasses are an essential accessory for anyone who spends time outdoors. They offer a number of important benefits that can help protect your eyes and enhance your vision.
One of the most important benefits of polarized sunglasses is that they reduce glare. Glare is caused by light reflecting off of flat surfaces such as water, snow, and pavement. When you're out on the water, on the ski slope, or driving on a sunny day, glare can make it difficult to see and can cause eye strain, headaches, and even temporary vision loss. Polarized lenses have a special filter that blocks glare, making it much easier to see and reducing the risk of these problems.
Polarized sunglasses also provide UV protection. The sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can damage your eyes and increase your risk of cataracts and other eye problems. Polarized lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, helping to protect your eyes from the sun's harmful rays.
Polarized sunglasses also enhance color and clarity. Because they reduce glare, polarized lenses make colors appear more vibrant and true to life. They also make it easier to see details and textures, which can be especially helpful when fishing, boating or any other activity where you need to see beneath the surface of the water.
Another advantage of polarized sunglasses is that they can help improve your visual comfort and performance in sports, fishing, driving and other activities. They can also reduce the effects of fatigue and headaches, which can be caused by glare and UV rays.
Sunglass lenses also have a base color that will impact the visual experience and performance. There are brown amber bases which will increase the contrast in low light environments. For example, when it is overcast, cloudy, morning or evening situations, these lens will improve your vision to see more depth and brighten the world around you.
The other popular base color is grey. This is the most common base color as it does not impact the true color of your environment but does black out the most light that comes through the lens which was designed for high light situations. These are meant to be worn when it is a clear and sunny day for the lenses to perform at their best.
We have a really cool lens technology page that offers deeper insight to our lenses and the features that will help you when deciding which lens to go with. – Lens Technology Page.
In summary, polarized sunglasses offer a number of important benefits that can help protect your eyes and enhance your vision. They reduce glare, provide UV protection, enhance color and clarity, and improve visual comfort and performance. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, investing in a pair of polarized sunglasses is a smart move.

]]>Well, first things first - you need to have a general idea of a few things:
1. What style of sunglasses are you looking for?
2. What shape of face do you have? (Or think you have!)
This is a great place to start in order to determine where to begin looking for the glasses that will fit your face the best.
We wanted to break down what we have learned over the past decade on fitting sunglasses with our customers face shapes so here it goes:
If you have a round face, you'll want to choose sunglasses that have more angular frames to help balance out the curves of your face. We offer two frames that are both great choices for round faces. Our Chucktown collection which is a classic all around pair of glasses as well as our Kitty Hawk collection as these two are timeless and go well with most anything.
If you have an oval face, you're in luck! This face shape is considered to be the most versatile, so you can pretty much rock any style of sunglasses you want. However, if you want to play up the natural symmetry of your face, try sunglasses with round or square frames.
For those with a square face, try softer, round frames to help balance out the strong angles of your face. Cat-eye sunglasses and oval frames are both great options.
If you have a heart-shaped face, look for sunglasses with wider frames to help balance out the top-heavy shape of your face. Rimless frames and aviators are both great choices.
No matter what your face shape, the most important thing is to choose a pair of sunglasses that you love and feel confident in. We do our best here at Nectar to ensure every customer is satisfied with their selection and we encourage people to try them on to be sure! We offer a super simple return & exchange policy to allow you to find that right pair of sunglasses that fit you the best without worrying about committing to something you might not like.
Our customer support team is always available to help if you have any questions at all with how to find the right style as well as our face shape guide as a great starting point. You can check that out here — Face Shape Guide
We hope that this has helped you with your question of what sunglasses would fit your unique and beautiful face!
Cheers,
Nectar Team
]]>Blue light is emitted by the sun, digital screens & LED lights in your home or office. If you're like most people, you spend a lot of time indoors - in your home or office. And because indoor lighting is often blue light-emitting, it can have negative impacts on your health.
Excessive blue light exposure can also cause eye strain, dry eyes, headaches, and blurred vision. This is why we launched our blue light-blocking eyewear line here at Nectar in 2015. We noticed these impacts from the typical life of a startup Company and set out to create a solution.
Nectar now offers several blue light-blocking frame styles and color options for men and women. Our lenses filter out 50% of harmful rays while ensuring there is no color distortion on your screen.
Almost all visible blue light passes through the cornea and lens and reaches the retina. In large amounts, blue light can increase your risk of eye disease and harm your health in many other ways. Some of the ways blue light can affect you include:
Yes, you can wear blue light-blocking glasses with contacts! Some contact lens providers will offer the addition of a blue light filter when ordering your contact lens prescription, which typically will be an upcharge. For those contact lenses that do not have blue light-blocking filters, the best option would be to wear protective eyewear. You can always consult with your eye doctor to order a new prescription that comes with blue light-blocking filters within the contact lenses. The more protection, the better!
Wearing blue light blocking glasses is one way to lessen the symptoms of too much blue light. However, there are other steps you can take as well. For example:
- Take a break from digital devices every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This gives your eyes a break from the screen and helps them relax.
- Use eye drops if you are experiencing dry eyes from blue light.
- Avoid too much screen time and sunlight by limiting how much time you spend online, using your phone, or outdoors during daylight hours.
- Sit an arm's length away from your screen.
- Screen filters: You can install or enable certain screen filters that lower blue light exposure on certain digital devices.
- Adjusting your lighting: If you have LED bulbs in your home and you cannot change them, consider adding additional light sources that do not use LED bulbs.
- Wearing sunglasses: If you spend a lot of time in the sun, your eyes will be exposed to large amounts of blue light. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.
Wearing blue light-blocking glasses is a great way to protect your eyes from the harmful, high-energy blue light emitted from digital devices. We know it might be near impossible to avoid during this digital age where even Mcdonald's has massive digital touch screen ordering systems now!
The long-term impacts of staring at screens for extended periods of time are still being studied, and there is much we don't know about the possible health risks. However, research suggests that children who frequently use digital devices may be more likely to have vision problems down the line. This is because children are constantly using their eyesight to focus on small text or images on a screen.
Gen Z - those born between 1997 and 2012 - may be especially vulnerable due to how early they're exposed to technology. These children typically start using screens at an earlier age than previous generations, and they're often surrounded by digital devices from a very young age. This has led many experts to believe that Gen Z may be facing greater eye health risks than past generations.
Wearing protective eyewear will reduce these risks and promote a healthier sleeping pattern, more productivity at work, less eye strain, and help avoid dry eyes. Take a look at our selection of blue light-blocking eyewear here → blue light collection - and keep those eyes protected!

As Sean Holmes was looking for a place to relocate his sunglasses company, Nectar, he knew he wanted to be somewhere on the East Coast near the ocean. “The water is healing in so many ways,” he said. “Ultimately, I had buddies in Charleston, came to visit, and just fell in love with this area, the marsh, the low country, and the people here.”
Surrounded by a maze of rivers, lakes, and the ocean, the area offers plenty of opportunities for surfing, fishing, paddling, and boating. “The best of all the worlds are down in Charleston,” Holmes said.
Holmes, who built the company in Atlanta, Ga., and Richmond, Va., before moving to Charleston, wants to promote the East Coast adventure scene, believing this side of the country has as much to offer as the West Coast. “We still have sunsets, mountains, oceans, and lakes—all the things that they have,” he said. “We grew up surfing crappier waves and snowboarding on ice. But then if you put us on fresh powder or better waves, we can hold our own.”
Each pair of sunglasses in Nectar’s collections is named after an iconic East Coast landmark, paying tribute to the awe-inspiring places that call to us, from Harpers Ferry and Bear Mountain to Anna Ruby Falls and Emerald Isle. Many of these locations are places Holmes has visited on his adventures, like growing up surfing Hatteras and the Outer Banks. “It’s this really unique area on the East Coast that does produce some of the best waves and has so many different personalities to it, from the waves you surf and the people you meet there,” he said.
Nectar’s new premium acetate line is made from a thin resin block of wood pulp. “These are all blended and hardened, so when you cut out the frames with the CNC [router], each one is slightly different, which I think gives a little character to each one,” Holmes said. By 2022, the company aims to have all of the sunglasses in the classic collection made from recycled plastic bottles.
For the full Charleston experience, it’s best to try multiple modes of transportation. “There’s just a whole different experience when you’re on the water in Charleston versus when you’re walking downtown, seeing the buildings and history,” Holmes said. “Both are equally amazing.” You can regularly find Holmes surfing the waves at Folly Beach or hiking in Francis Marion National Forest.
From the convergence of the Ashley, Cooper, and Wando rivers out to the barrier islands, Four Hole Swamp, and Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, you can’t go wrong no matter which direction you choose to go.

]]>The West Coast gets all the love when it comes to sunglasses, but Nectar is proudly from the East. Founded by Sean Holmes in 2012, the startup straddled between Atlanta and Richmond, eventually calling Charleston home. Anticipating an expansion of the brand and the launch of a new collection, Nectar reached out to Familiar Creatures who developed a new website and a new brand platform called "Salt of the East."
The acetate collection is named after some of the most beautiful destinations on the East Coast, such as Anna Ruby Falls in Georgia and Luray Caverns in Virginia. And the line pays tribute to the earth in other ways too. The handcrafted glasses are made from processed wood pulp, which
makes them biodegradable. And they are built to last over time, reducing waste. Each pair is durable, flexible, and has color embedded in the frames. Meaning the glasses retain their vibrancy from the first time you wear them and beyond.
“Nectar has evolved a lot since our apartment brainstorms in 2012, but building community has remained central to our mission,” said Holmes. “We are proud to extend the Nectar community throughout the East Coast and have named each pair in our collections after iconic cities and landmarks, celebrating the rich culture, history, and landscapes that are distinctly ours.”
When you think about what separates folks on the East Coast from their westward counterparts, a few things come to mind: grit, determination, soulfulness and individuality. These people are the salt of the earth. But to fully convey Nectar and their buyer base is from here as well, the agency
added a little twist, hence “East.” Encouraging customers to connect through the shared culture of the East and inviting those who may have left, to experience a taste of home.
“From the inception of our relationship with Nectar we could tell that Sean and his team had a lot of heart for their hometown and the outdoors,” said Justin Bajan, Co-Founder of Familiar Creatures. “We saw this project as an opportunity to inject soul into an otherwise plain industry, and to bring people together through a shared sense of adventure and pride.”
The new website just launched in conjunction with the acetate collection and in addition to the new line, the brand continues to offer its classic collection and blue light blockers. They are also in the process of expanding merchandise offerings to include hats and shirts.

India, Lake Banff, Spain, Italy, and Budapest top many of our lists. We are scheduling our 2020 travels now, to fight burn out from too much work (fun) at Nectar.
Be Present
It’s easy to get distracted or not be 100% present. We’re challenging ourselves to disconnect and take in all moments, all year.
Stay Healthy
I’ve realized I am not as active I was a few months ago, so my goal is to take walking breaks throughout the day and stretch each morning. I’ve also decided to cut back on red meat and add more vegetables to all meals! I’m also taking my health more seriously, starting with my eyes. This year I promise to get my eyes checked on time and use Blue Light Blockers daily. I usually spend 40 hours on my computer or phone per week (if not more). Blue light blocking glasses help me fight eye fatigue, headaches, and blurry vision when I’m on a screen. Find the perfect pair of Blue Light Blockers.
Get Organized
We have so many tools at our fingertips from planners to Monday.com. We’re committing to keeping our task list rolling and our laundry washed, dried, folded, AND put away.
See the Beauty in All Moments
Adversity is part of life and sometimes we’re not sure how to navigate what’s happening. We’re committing to keep pushing through personally and professionally. Because the sun never sets on a badass.
Let us know your 2020 goals and how you plan to accomplish them!
]]>This year the Killicks stood out to me with their wide, rectangular frames and bright blue lenses. If the blue is too much for you, the tortoise shell frame looks just as chic and still makes a statement. These frames provide a lot more protection and wrap around your face more than the average frame. For the brightest occassions, the Killicks keep you covered.
For a more classic look, I reached for a pair of the Goose frames. A new take on a timeless shape, these are suitable for every occasion, every day. Available in three mature color combos, this is one of the few frames where Nectar doesn’t offer a crazy bright, neon, or otherwise colored lens. I think they know they have a sophisticated pair of shades in their Goose design!
Regardless of which pairs of Nectars you pick up, you’ll ge the same great customer service, polarized lenses, lifetime replacement, and you’ll help contribute to the Bee Cause fund for furthering honey bee education and awareness. That’s right, their namesake is more than just a synonym for sweet, it’s a reference to a cause that Nectar continues to support — save the world one honey bee at a time."
