About Us

FOSSIES is a brand on a mission to improve the quality of life in our increasingly digital word - without compromising on staying connected and doing the things we love.

Recent research tells us that exposure to blue light from digital devices is harmful to our sleep, can cause headaches and can be damaging to our eyes. FOSSIES blue light blocking glasses block 50% of blue light – 100% of the most harmful rays, helping to improve sleep quality, reduce eye strain and the risk of long-term damage.

Co-founders Ross and Fiona live immersed in digital devices. They noticed that they, and those around them, often had a hard time falling asleep after working late, and sore eyes or headaches when using their laptops. Looking into what might be causing it, they realised that millions of people are suffering from overexposure to blue light and the symptoms caused by it. They also realised there was something they could do about it.

Letting science lead the way in product development, focusing on education and sourcing the best possible materials to produce blue light glasses that really make a difference sets FOSSIES out from the crowd in quality and style. “At FOSSIES we want to help people look after their health as best they can, while living their lives the way they want to. Live big and take risks, but not with your eye health and sleep.”
