When considering blue light lenses, it's essential to examine where a product offers the greatest benefit.
TechShield blue light lenses target blue light wavelengths associated with digital screens (400-430nm), reducing exposure by as much as 85% at its peak.
Appearance matters. That's why TechShield Blue was designed to enhance visual performance, as well as personal appearance. These blue light lenses have an attractive, near-clear appearance when not in the presence of blue light, and eliminate harsh reflections from the lens surface.
TechShield's next-generation blue light lens enhancement filters harmful blue light without compromising your vision and can be applied to any prescription or non-prescription lens, and is available on all materials and designs.4

Following are answers to frequently asked questions about TechShield Blue:
TechShield Blue is a next-generation, premium anti-reflective blue light lens coating that reduces exposure to blue light from digital screens, energy-efficient lighting, and the sun. It is included as a specialty, D category, AR coating in the full portfolio of new and improved TechShield AR Coatings.
These blue light lenses both absorb and reflect blue light.
TechShield Blue provides the biggest benefit in the 400nm - 430 nm blue light wavelength range. As a standard practice we do not promote a single fixed blue-light reduction percentage, because we do not feel this is the most scientifically appropriate or accurate way to describe what the product actually does in terms of blue light reduction. Instead, we publish TechShield Blue’s spectral transmittance graph which shows the percent reduction at all wavelengths across the entire blue light spectrum (400nm - 500nm). Please reference the spectral transmittance graph here.
TechShield Blue automatically comes with UVR (backside UV protection) included.
TechShield Blue has a near-clear appearance. However, in conditions where a high amount of blue light is present, the product will have an indigo hue. The degree of color is determined by the amount of ambient blue light in the vicinity of the wearer. When there is more blue light present, the product will have more indigo coloration. When there is less blue light present, the product will appear clearer. TechShield Blue’s near-clear appearance differentiates it from other blue light lens products in the market that only absorb blue light (causing yellow/orange hue) or only reflect blue light (causing purple hue).
TechShield Blue is available on all lens designs and materials, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
We are not manufacturing tinted or polarized lenses with TechShield Blue due to the change this would cause in spectral properties of the product.
