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.
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.
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
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
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.
