What is blue-violet light?
The sun is the main source of blue-violet light (and also exposes us to UV light). Artificial light sources, such as digital screens and LED lights, also emit blue-violet light.
How do blue-violet light filtering lenses work?
Engineered to filter blue-violet light* from the sun and artificial light sources, while allowing beneficial light to pass through. Designed for protection during work-heavy days and exposure to sunrays.
Benefits of blue-violet light glasses
You can wear blu-violet light glasses pretty much all the time – they’ll protect your eyes from UV and blue-violet light* emitted from the sun and artificial light sources.
During long work hours
Prescription blue-violet light glasses are great for dedicated periods of work, whether you're at your desk or on your feet. Filter out blue-violet light* while providing the vision correction you need.
All-day benefits
The sun is the main source of our blue-violet light* exposure. If it's too dim to wear sunglasses, you can wear blue-violet light glasses outdoors to filter blue-violet light and UV rays.
Long-term eye protection
Blue-violet light* can put your eyes at risk of retinal cell damage[1]. UV light can cause health issues, such as cataracts. Blue-violet light glasses filter our blue-violet light and UV to support long-term eye health.
What to consider before getting blue-violet light glasses
Slight blue reflection on the lens surface
The blue-violet light filtering technology of the lens sometimes creates a subtle blue reflection on the lens surface. It's not very noticeable, but others may see it when looking at you in certain lighting conditions.
Slight yellow tint
May notice a slight yellow tint when lenses are placed against a white background. Can make colours appear warmer but won't greatly affect your vision, unless you require acute colour perception.

Frequently asked questions
Do all blue-violet light glasses have a yellow tint?
Our BlueReflect™ and BlueReflect Plus™ lenses are similar to clear lenses, but they have an additional benefit: to protect your eyes against UV and filter blue-violet light*, both indoors and outdoors.
You may notice a very slight yellow tint in your BlueReflect™ lenses if placed against a white background — this is completely normal and comes from the embedded filter in the lenses. There will also be a slight blue reflection on the surface of the lens (which means the glasses are doing their job!).
BlueReflect Plus™ have an even stronger filter, and therefore a slightly more noticeable tint and blue reflection.
*Blue-violet light is between 400 and 455nm as stated byISO TR20772:2018
Can I wear blue-violet light glasses all the time?
Our blue-violet light filtering lenses can be worn pretty much any time you like, as they provide UV protection and blue-violet light* filtration both indoors and outdoors.
However, you should wear sunglasses when outdoors in bright conditions to ensure visual comfort and optimum clarity. We also recommend using a secondary pair of clear lenses when driving at night and when your true colour perception can't be compromised, for the absolute best vision.

Do blue-violet light glasses really work?
Yes – blue-violet light glasses help protect your eyes from blue-violet light* and UV. They help to reduce oxidative stress on retinal tissue, which helps to preserve retinal health over the long term.[1]
