LifeSpeak Inc. and Eyesafe Partner to Promote Eye Health During Healthy Vision Month

Expert-led education, savings on Eyesafe^® Blue Light Glasses, and integrated wellness solutions aim to address the health effects of rising screen time

MINNEAPOLIS, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LifeSpeak Inc., the leading provider of mental, physical, and family wellbeing solutions for employers, health plans, and other organizations, and Eyesafe, a global leader in blue light and screen time solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to address the rising impact of blue light exposure on eye health, sleep, and overall wellness.

As screen time now averages more than 11 hours per day,¹ blue light from digital devices has become a growing concern among doctors, employers, and individuals. Many people experience symptoms such as digital eye strain, headaches, and disrupted sleep cycles due to prolonged screen use.²

The collaboration between LifeSpeak Inc. and Eyesafe, launching during Healthy Vision Month, aims to educate individuals about the concerns of excessive screen time, while providing product solutions to help reduce blue light exposure and enhance overall wellbeing.

Key highlights of the partnership include:

• Expert-led educational content: A series of expert-led videos discussing the concerns for blue light exposure in both children and adults, available through LifeSpeak Inc.'s robust platform of wellness resources.
• Exclusive member benefit: A $25 voucher for LifeSpeak members to use towards Eyesafe^® Eyewear, featuring advanced BluTech lens technology designed to filter out blue light to reduce strain and enhance sleep.
• Comprehensive wellness approach: Integration of blue light, vision, and sleep health resources into LifeSpeak Holistic Wellness, which combines support for mental health, fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, and more to deliver in a simplified approach that advances health outcomes for every individual's unique wellness journey.

Michael Held, founder and CEO of LifeSpeak Inc. states, "Our partnership with Eyesafe aligns perfectly with LifeSpeak Inc.'s mission to support all facets of wellness so that wellbeing is attainable for everyone. By integrating the often-overlooked aspect of eye health into our expert content, we're delivering on this mission and while improving the quality of life for individuals and health outcomes for employers and health plans."

Justin Barrett, CEO of Eyesafe, added, "We're thrilled to partner with LifeSpeak Inc. to bring Eyesafe Eyewear to a wider audience. Our blue light glasses are developed with doctors and backed by research showing positive user benefits, including increased melatonin and reduced eye strain.^3,4 This collaboration represents a significant step in making blue light protection a priority in the broader context of wellness."

The partnership comes at a crucial time, as May is recognized as Healthy Vision Month. The National Eye Institute recommends regular eye exams, wearing sunglasses when outdoors, and being aware of your family eye health history as key steps in maintaining healthy vision.

Additionally, Dr. Ralph Chu, Founder of Chu Vision Institute and member of the Eyesafe Vision Health Advisory Board, recommends reducing exposure to blue light to minimize visual discomfort and sleep disruption, while following the 20/20/20 rule: every 20 minutes, look away from your screen and focus on something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This gives your eyes a break, which can reduce eye strain and dry eye conditions.

LifeSpeak Inc. and Eyesafe's joint initiative will be available to employers, health plans, and organizations that contract with LifeSpeak Inc. for wellbeing solutions, ultimately benefiting millions of individuals worldwide.
