Blue UV Capture transparent lenses provide ideal UV protection from harmful blue-violet light. Blue UV Capture lenses are a brand new material developed to protect your eyes from harmful blue-violet light every day. Blue-violet light has been identified as the most damaging light to the outer retina. Blue-violet light activates lipofuscin phototoxic ingredients that can cause retinal cell death. Thanks to a carefully selected combination of molecules embedded in the lens, Blue UV Capture lenses effectively filter harmful blue-violet light while allowing beneficial blue-turquoise light to be transmitted to the eyes. Blue UV Capture transparent lenses offer optimal transparency in lens. According to the rule of contrasting colors, the interruption of blue light leaves a yellow tint on the lens. According to the laws of physics, if an object absorbs a color, it appears to the eye as a contrasting color. Since blue and yellow are contrasting colors, the absorption of blue-violet light gives the lens a yellowish tint. A tinting agent added to Blue UV Capture lens neutralizes the yellowish tint of the lens, making it appear more transparent. You can protect yourself from harmful blue-violet light every day with Blue UV Capture transparent lenses.
