Not to hi-jack here, but had a fairly intelligent customer with sleep problems. Customer is a big time internet researcher, and brought me all this info on high contrast light filtering, not at the office for my notes but, I believe it was filtering in the 540 to 580 range. They were to be worn a couple hours before normal sleep time to change the circadian clock to normal. Patient reported back after about 2 weeks, things were better. Haven't had another chance to prove or disprove this theory, but I do have a happy patient.

Your ability to regurgitate web content is impressive, but it is hardly YOUR research. I am as capable as anyone of finding the information I use for my writing. However, thanks for the offer, but I believe I'll pass. On the other hand, perhaps you were referring to other members who write for various trade mags. Thinly veiled insults were never your forte, MO.

I wasn't insinuating you. Yes you are right regurgitating web information is easy, when Crizal Prevenzia came out I spent a few weeks putting together a bunch of information. That software which I plainly stated in my post and the links it provides was the easy part.
I have learned to reserve the meat of my knowledge because of this very scenario, sharing instead of being appreciated is just plain loathed among opticians. I find that the dumber I appear the more accepted I am at least until the grey hairs fill in, until then I'll just absorb and continue not to share.
BTW, I believe Dr Carlock is writing on UV/HEV light in one of the coming issue of your magazine and I have shared this information with her months ago, the choice to pass unfortunately is not yours in this case.

I can see how maybe you could have taken offense to my earlier post. I quoted your post because Roberts follow-up post referenced little available information. My reply backed up your own assertions about UV and HEV, with actual research and data. And No thinly veiled insults are not my forte, I speak my mind another method which allows me to sleep at night.
Sorry if somehow my post was misconstrued as an insult.

Your right on topic but the quality of the research in my post is high.
I think its the application of a new product and by new the stack has been rearranged. For now the uv reflectance of the ARC is being touted as the holy grail for outdoor use but I think the real application is as a therapuetic tint. In a therapeutic application it can be used to help with sleep disorders.
There is a lot of research that deals with dyslexia and filters, low vision and filters, etc. I used to enjoy post from a professional from across the pond that dealt with filters and their therapeutic effects. I think the future will hold various filters and hopefully we can see studies on the effects of different wavelengths of light.
If you are interested in some phenominal applications of filters call BPI and inquire about their 4-5-6 lenses. If you pm me Robert we can talk in more detail.

<<They all look like they've been swimming in the bottom of a urinal for a couple weeks to me. Just like Trivex did (and several HI's too).>>
I have to agree. After seeing the results on a 1.74 HiX lens, one of my patients couldn't even wear it because the yellow was so distracting. I won't sell it on HiX again.
I wear the Hoya recharge, Yes it does have a funny yellowish color, and the AR itself is blue, but my eyes don't seem as tired at the end of the day compared to my regular AR coated lenses. A co-worker in the hospital feels the same way, that her eyes just are not as tired.
It's like blueblockers all over again. ;) So much anecdotal "evidence" of the efficacy of the "latest" trend in eye glasses. What's old is new again. LOL
You better calm down Skippy!
Captain Obvious, aka The King of Cut and Paste, will spank your experience, knowledge, and educated wisdom, on this subject and let you know that 52 years ago, in a European country, his family invented a tint that was Blueishblockerish in nature, that has proven to be able to save the human race!
Don't make him cut-n-paste to prove it!
Really?! His family invented the blueish blockerish tinty thingy. I, for one, need to hear more about this. So I will kick back with a jar of delicious paste, some cold beer to wash it down with and keep an eye out for blood on the screen from paper cuts.

Wow, tough crowd in here...
Judy, there is a new product that will filter Blue Light via the material, not in a coating. It uses EMR interference and not particle occlusion, so a EM field is created that blocks certain spectrums, very much like some UV technologies (from what they would actually share with me). It will block about 80% of Blue with less than .5% residual color when finished (semi-finished blanks do show some residual color). PM me for more info... unlike other solutions that block only 20% Blue but have 10% residual color.
Is this from Misui? Have you seen or do you have any pictures?
