Blue-violet light glasses

Reviewed by Dr. Justin Asgarpour

Shield your eyes from UV and blue-violet light*, indoors and outdoors. Blue-Violet Filtering Lenses filter out the bad while letting in the good, to protect your eyes for the long term. Wear them while working, spending time outside, or relaxing.


*Blue-violet light is between 400 and 455nm as stated byISO TR20772:2018

LP_What_is Blue_light

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.

LP_How_Blue_light_work

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.

Benefits of blue-violet light glasses

You can wear blue-violet light glasses pretty much all the time – they’ll filter your eyes from UV and blue-violet light* emitted from the sun and artificial light sources.

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 to filter blue-violet light and UV rays.

LP_Indoors_Outdoors

Outdoors and indoors

You can wear your blue-violet light glasses ANYWHERE! Outdoors or indoors, for working, walking or sports, blue-violet light glasses filter blue-violet light and UV rays wherever you go. 

What to consider before getting blue-violet light glasses

07_blue_reflection_w_description

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.

08_yellow_tint_w_description

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

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

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. 

*Blue-violet light is between 400 and 455nm as stated byISO TR20772:2018

Blue-Violet Light Glasses

Comfort during and after screen time. Our BlueReflect™ blue-violet light filtering lenses are an excellent option for those who look at their screens for many hours a day. They help de-stress your eyes at the end of a day, relieve headaches and migraines, alleviate eye strain and fatigue, reduce glare, and filter blue-violet light. Check out glasses frames at Clearly, add prescription to your lenses (or skip this step), and add BlueReflect™ blue-violet light filtering lenses.
