They say the eyes are the window to the soul, which means it’s probably a good idea to keep those “windows” protected! Warding off that pesky damaging blue light is the first step. And lucky for you, there are a variety of different lens options to help you protect those peepers of yours.
Option #1
Like having a clear lens, no tint, but still want some flare? Crizal Prevencia may be an option for you. It has no tint but its coating does cast a slight purple hue, which is the indicator that the lenses are doing their job of keeping your eyes protected filtering out up to 20 % of the HEV blue light.
Option #2
So, you’re not exactly into a tinted lens huh? Well not to worry, Kodak Total Blue is another alternative for you. It’s a hybrid of coating and material that filters the HEV blue light. Kodak Total Blue offers minimal residual color and has a slight blue reflection. And if you want outdoor protection, it is also available in a polarized lens and comes with a blue mirror-like finish keeping you styling while being protected. It’s a win -win!
Option #3
Ok, so maybe you don’t mind having a slight tint to your lenses and you definitely want those precious “windows” protected! You spend long hours slaving away in front of a computer screen, or are a parent of teen glued to their mobile device and want their beautiful little eyes protected? ! BluTech lenses may be an option for you. There are indoor and outdoor lenses. Indoor BluTech lenses have a slight amber color that helps to filter out the harmful blue light and enhances contrast.
