    Blue light blocking lenses

    I found in my basement some nice 75mm -7.25sph and -8.25sph plastic lenses. They seem to be quite yellow.

    Can I sell them as blue light blocking lenses?

    Sure. No one can agree on research findings or where or not it is hogwash, so why not?
    Have I told you today how much I hate poly?

    In the 1970s which was the start of commercial CR39 some manufacturers did not add any UV absorbers to the monomer and those lenses turned yellowish very fast.

    The first CR-39 ophthalmic lenses were produced and marketed by Armorlite in 1947:
