WHAT IS BLUE LIGHT?
Blue light isn’t all bad — in fact, the sun provides us with healthy amounts of it. But overexposure of blue light from screens can cause digital eye strain, headaches, and sleep cycle disruption.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We took our premium, scratch-resistant CR39 lenses & equipped them with anti-reflective and special coatings to filter out harmful blue light and UV light without altering your clarity of vision.
*Lenses have slight tint but are still clear. Please allow for an additional 48 hours for processing — all lenses are hand-cut to order. Frames with blue light lenses added are exchange only.
