What specific spectrum (in nm) does Kodak Total Blue protect from?
Spoke to Norma just now at Signet Armorlite. She's e mailing a bunch of technical info and I'll see if it's more than marketing mumbo jumbo.
Or if I can make any sense out of it. :rolleyes:
You can also call SA at 1-800-759-0075
I just finished speaking with a representative from Signet Armorlite. She said that the Total Kodak Blue blocks 80% of the wavelengths between 380-440 nm.Quote:

Would someone be able to verify this information?
Why not just tint any old lens yellow/orange/brown 1, slap an AR on top, and go?
Because that would affect color vision more.Quote:

Super embarassing when helping a patient, and one's eyeball just bursts into flame like that!Quote:

Attachment 15088
And the best part of it is that it is approved treatment for Blue Light Eye Burn Out Syndrome (BLEBOS), and recommended by drk himself!
Kid tested...Dr K APPROVED! :giggle:Quote:

Who is to say that 426 is the best spectrum of light to block? That's the problem with these studies, there is no agreed upon standard.Quote:

I WANT TO BELIEVE! :cool:
