    US Vision sold it while I was there. Was a lightly tinted blue-light filter, more akin to what you see from like an Eyezen than from a BluTech lens. Was there something specific you wanted to know about it?

    The majority of blue lighwith indoors is from LED light sources (TV, lighting, devices, etc.). Check out the Learn page on Blutech for example of how clear blue filters compare to lenses that are designed to have a big impact on filtering/blocking blue light. https://blutechlenses.com/learn/
    If you want the real low down and in depth education, check out their certification and training modules that are all free. Your patients expect you to be the expert and these are FREE! https://blutechlenses.com/resource/t...get-certified/
    Good luck!

    Welcome to Optiboard!

    What's the effect/benefit if we just change our screen backgrounds from blue?

    if you are speaking of the VE Clear Blue lenses, we sold quite a few. It was, I say was, the first blue filtering lens that have very little color cast to it. It was more of a Super UV than a HEV lens. Its performance from 380-420 was meh, though, it did a better job at filtering UV than regular poly.

    I would look at Zeiss if you want a solid UV protective lens, as they have it available in most common materials, not just poly, with better filtering than VE.

    Conant delivers higher performance, but that residual color….ugh!!!!
    I bend light. That is what I do.

    I'm not asking about BluTech Indoor/Outdoor or any other form of BluTech. I'm asking about Vision Ease Clear Blue with Vivid AR and without Vivid AR. I have zero experience with it and zero knowledge besides what's on Vision Ease website.

    What I'm asking is percentage wise is it much better than Crizal Prevencia or Shamir Blue Zero in "blocking blue light"?
    Is the selling point that the lens is clear compared to the yellowish tint? How's the quality of Vivid AR I've never been ordered or seen that before.

    The selling point is ENTIRELY that "the lens is clear" (minus the slight yellowish tint endemic to all blue filter products). That is basically the start and end of the training I received on it. I can't speak to the AR (big box stores, so we had Teflon and "standard AR" which could have been anything), and I can't remember the nM ranges/efficacy it listed, but probably roughly equivalent to Prevencia, in the same way that points were integral to Whose Line Is It Anyway

    Thanks Uncle Fester!
    The more yellow the screen the better for relieving eye fatigue at night, in adition to any negative impact of 450nm-ish wavelength that can interfere with your circadium rhythm. As long as you are OK w/ the change in color of the screen then go for it. It can't hurt you. :)

    I'm thinking of it now as a fashion statement and will make a dollar when I sell it.

    Fashion eh? I suppose annoying blue/purple mirros on clear lenses were bound to be tried at some point. Added bonus, they looks extra terrible when on a webcam, with all the reflection off the screen. IMHO, the sketchy poker players wearing their mirrored sunglasses inside at tables in Vegas wore it first, and much better decades ago...but here we are.

    I dispense lenses that are 100% clear and filter out 0% of the blue spectrum. They're called "Tranquil Blue See", and they deliver unalterated, pure color wave rendition! They're only $99 extra.

    I'm wearing a pair, now. It's like wearing nothing!
