[fove]

I was wondering if anyone could steer me to a non nikon lab that offers the lenses.

thanks

Is that the ar coating for computers?

[fove]

yes it is for computers and any digital displays it block s blue light

Since its a Nikon product, and Nikon has only recently re-entered the US market, its likely your only other choice will be a lab in Canada where there is a strong Nikon presence.

I personally think See Coat Blue does exactly what it claims to, and is also super hydrophobic and anti-static. It is a truly unique offering in an industry loaded with products that do the same thing.

Actually, Hoya have just launched it in the UK. They call it 'Blue Control'... My question is, does it block all HEV light?

[Judy Canty]

Signet is offering Blu-Tech lenses in several designs, including Unique, Precise, Precise Short, MonitorView and Processed SV.

Has anyone tried it?

[edKENdance]

Does it look like a Gunnar lens with a yellowish colour? Noticed for the Hoya coating that only 78% of people found the lens attractive. Seems rather low.

[Craig]

Pech Optical is doing them and they do leave a residual yellow color. It looks like a blue mirror over a clear lens as far as the color.
I have not sold any and do not know if we will.
I guess it makes sense for computer users and night driving.

I saw in VM this week a press release for the Crizal version blocking blue, called Prevencia

[Chris Ryser]

The yellow blocks some blue....and a full 100% blue blocking lens is a combination of yellow and orange, not to attractive looking if not tinted over. They are not supposed to be in a beauty contest they just have to be effective in what they have been designed for.

No, there is a specific sliver of the blue spectrum that helps in the control of your circadian rhythm. I read somewhere that see coat blue just brings the transmission levels down across the blue spectrum without completely eliminating the spectrum.

Can anyone give me a prove, that blue coating really help to reduce blue rays. I heard from one of wholesale eyeglasses, they haven't sold too much in such coating.

[Scooter224]

I tried the Nikon glasses and really liked them for driving. Don't use them anymore. Too much reflections for me. My wife couldn't see my eyes anymore. Good product for a small group of people, but not for everybody.

More snake oil in a lens?

[sharpstick777]

With shortwave blue having implications in macular degeneration, look for lots of products coming soon. The Nikon coating seems way over priced to me. Maui Jim had patented this for their A/R so I wonder why they are not defending it?

[MakeOptics]

Can't say for sure if the coating is as effective as a slight tint, but blue light control is definitely a great way to relieve fatigue from CVS.

[RT]

The difference is the total transmission. A coated lens will still transmit 97.5% or more of visible light. A tinted lens will transmit far less.

Hoya now has an iBlue. Call you local Hoya Lab and ask them.

"Prevencia" I had to laugh, I know we have Spanglish here but I had not seen Italianish before.

Besides that they have:

A NEW DIMENSION IN SUN PROTECTION!


The sun is a source of well-being and pleasure and has beneficial effects providing we don't over use it. Protection from the sun is as important for the eyes as it is for the skin - UV and blue light are both dangerous and can cause irreparable damage.

Blue light can seriously damage the eyes and can be attributed to retinal diseases including AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration)*. The eye has its own defence mechanism against blue light but unfortunately it decreases as we get older: at 40 years old, we have already lost 20% of our initial retinal melanin and at 65 years old, it is around 50%

The antirreflect coat is based on interference destructive; but SCB, Blue Control or Prevenzia...
