With discussion of the dangers of harmful blue light at the public forefront due to the increased use of digital devices, Transitions Optical, Inc., educates customers and eyesore professionals that its full line of Transitions® eyeglass lenses help to provide
blue light protection indoors and outdoors.
“Often associated exclusively with elec- tronic devices and screens, what most people don’t realize is that the sun is the sin- gle largest source of blue light, scattering it through the atmo- phere and emitting over 100 times the intensity of electronic devices and screens,”
notes John Ligas, vice president, R&D, Transitions Optical. “In fact, depending on the time of day, a majority of outdoor visible light you receive is blue light, which explains why the sky itself is blue.”
All Transitions lenses help protect against blue light under any and all conditions. Indoors, Transitions lens products safeguard eyes against harmful blue light emitted by arti cial sources-like digital devices and LED lights, while outdoors they help provide extra protection from the sun by shielding eyes from glare, intense harmful blue light and UV rays. As Ligas notes,
“Transitions lenses darken outdoors when you need more protec- tion to keep the harmful light out, thus helping to provide optimal protection and superior health bene ts.”
Transitions® SignatureTM VII lenses block at least 20 percent of the harmful blue light indoors, which is up to 2 times more than standard clear lenses, and they block over 85 percent outdoors. Transitions® XTRActive® lenses are even more e ective – they provide extra protection againstbluelighteverywhere byblockingatleast 34 percent of the harmful blue light indoors and 88 percentto 95 percent of harmful blue light outdoors. Transitions® VantageTM lenses are also e ective – blocking at least 34 percent of the harmful blue light indoors and over 85 percent outdoors.
