BluSelect lenses are a new and innovative technology to help protect your eyes from the damaging effects of high energy visible light also known as blue light. Blue light emission comes naturally from the sun, but is also present in smart phones, tablets, computer screens, and even compact fluorescent lights.
New studies show prolonged exposure to blue light can lead to acute macular degeneration. The standard of UV400 no longer offers adequate protection. However, the new UV+420 cut lens material also known as BluSelect offers a new level of protection.
This technology allows everyday eyewear protect your eyes from blue light. Here is a demonstration that shows the difference of each lenses ability to block blue light. The visible spectrum is on the left and a diagram of the person on the right.
You will notice the harmful light rays can pass right through the cornea and over time damage the retina. This is represented by the green light that is focused on the back of the retina as seen here.
As you can see, if we take a standard clear UV400 lens, it will not block the blue light that is reaching the back of the retina and only slightly dampens the light in this demo. If we look at the new BluSelect with a UV+420 technology, you can clearly see this lens will absorb and not reflect the blue light reaching the back of the retina.
