    bluecore polycarbonate lenses

    I was hoping someone can confirm or provide feedback on the Bluecore poly lenses, and if they're in-fact blue light filtering lenses that are comparable to other manufacturers. With some of the other lenses the obvious blue cosmetic tint provides validation to the patient that such a feature is present...as the blue core lenses are basically colorless in appearance. Thank you.

    Will it never end? What exact lens properties are you going to compare to other manufacturers? How would you like them compared? How will you show their worth? What part and how much blue light filtering is "standard", or useful? We have gone full loony-tunes here folks.

    I hope I have misunderstood, you mean that if a lens is colored blue, this is a confirmation that filters the Blue? Or are you talking about the blue reflection?

    I think the OP is trying to explain that customers like to see actual proof of it working, e.g. a blue-ish reflection that bounces off the lenses.

    The truth of the matter is, nothing that will be visible to the naked eye will be "proof" of it working.
    If the customer feel like it helps, then it helps.
    If the customer doesn't feel like it helps, then it's not helping.

    Blue light lenses in itself is debatable if it really helps or not...
    There is no point in arguing if they are "true" blue light lenses... or even which brand is better lol
    Use whatever works for you.

    As for the customers wanting to see some action, invest in some "blue light flashlights".
    The ones that have a blue color UV coming out.
    shine it through the lenses, it filters the light noticeably and shows the customer something.
