Andy started BLUblox after becoming dissatisfied with the quality and standards of blue light blocking glasses available and so set about to design lenses that match the evidence in the academic literature. Andy was born in the UK and moved to Australia in 2011. 2 years after arriving Andy gained a lot of weight and became chronically fatigued and lacked energy. Traditional dietary approaches only worked to a certain degree and after stumbling across light and health, Andy forged a passion and niche understanding of all things light related to health. Today Andy is a leading figure in managing light to improve health and wellbeing.
