Convex Vision Blue Light Protection — Protect & Eagle Eyes Materials
A High-Frequency, Easy-to-Recommend Add-On
Blue light exposure from screens is now a near-universal patient concern — LCD/LED monitors, phones, tablets, TVs, and LED lighting all contribute. Beyond the familiar complaints (eye strain, watery eyes), there's a longer-term angle worth raising with patients: blue light exposure has also been linked to the progression of age-related macular degeneration. That gives you a preventive-care argument, not just a comfort one — useful for patients who might otherwise skip the upgrade.
This is also a lens you can recommend regardless of whether the patient has any other vision correction need, which makes it one of the easier upsells in your entire range.
The Technical Case for Your Team
Blue light doesn't just strain the eyes — it also degrades contrast vision, because it refracts more strongly than other light and scatters. Our Protect and Eagle Eyes materials with UV420 blue light filtering:
Completely block light up to 410nm
Reduce the 410–420nm range by 86%
Eagle Eyes: The Upgrade Play
Eagle Eyes goes a step further than standard blue light filtering — it also targets the 580–590nm range, meaningfully increasing contrast in low-visibility conditions and at night. Combined with UV420 filtering, this makes Eagle Eyes a strong single-lens recommendation for patients who spend significant time both at a computer and behind the wheel — full 24-hour coverage without needing separate glasses for each use case.
Patient-facing benefits to highlight:
Reduced glare, especially at night
Easier distance judgment while driving
Earlier recognition of objects in low light
This gives you two clear positioning angles for the same material: computer/office use, and driving — worth tailoring your pitch to whichever applies to the patient in front of you.
The Numbers, If Needed for Technical Buyers
Full light-spectrum reduction up to 410nm
86% reduction between 410–420nm
Additional reduction at 585nm for glare-free, high-contrast vision
Cosmetic Note Worth Mentioning
The lens carries a subtle ~10% blue tint, suitable for day and night wear, and the contrast/color enhancement comes from the lens material itself — no additional coating required. That's a useful point for patients wary of visible tints or extra coating costs: the benefit is built into the material, not layered on top.
