Satin Blue Multicoat
Satin Blue is created by world class optical technologies that incorporates protective coatings to shield your eyes from harmful blue-light.Satin Blue protects your eyes by selectively filtering light, to comfort your eyes whilst looking at a screen and still providing excellent clarity.The back surface of the lens is coated with Satin UV, blocking UV light from entering. This gives you total protection against harmful light.
What is Blue-Light?
Blue-light emanates naturally from the sun and artificially from LED screens in technology we use every day – phones, computers and televisions.There are two categories of blue-light, Blue-Violet and Blue-Turquoise. Blue-Violet is adjacent to UV-light on the spectrum and is harmful whereas Blue-Turquoise is further than UV and is useful.Blue-Violet can cause macular degeneration, tired/dry eyes and
insomnia. Blue-Turquoise light helps regulate the everyday sleep cycle by stimulating melatonin production.
