What Are Blue-Cut Lenses?

Blue-Cut is a lens treatment designed to filter part of the blue light that reaches your eyes. Blue light comes from many sources, including the sun, LED lighting and digital screens, and Blue-Cut lenses are commonly chosen by people who spend long hours on phones, tablets and computers.

It is worth knowing that current research has not shown that blue light from screens damages the eyes, and evidence that filtering it reduces digital eye strain is limited. Eye strain from screens is also linked to blinking less and focusing up close for long periods, so regular breaks still matter. Depending on the product, Blue-Cut lenses may show a faint tint or reflection.

How It Works

A Blue-Cut treatment is designed to filter a portion of blue light. The amount filtered differs between products.

  1. Light reaches the lens

    Screens, LED lighting and daylight all emit some blue light.

  2. Treatment filters part of it

    The lens is designed to reflect or absorb a portion of blue light.

  3. Less blue light passes through

    Some is filtered out before it reaches your eyes.
