FAQ
Is UV+ Blue Blocker lens a regular lens with a special coating?
No. UV+ Blue Blockers from Zenni are made with a special blue-light blocking monomer (http://uv420cut.com) from Mitsui Chemicals, a global leader in development and manufacturing of ophthalmic lens materials, that is directly incorporated into the lens. That means the blue- blocking technology won’t chip or wear away. By absorbing blue light, this monomer prevents blue light from passing through the lens to your eye.
DO UV+ Blue Blockers COME WITH ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING?
Yes. UV+ Blue Blocker lenses come with a standard anti-reflective coating.
ARE UV+ Blue Blockers THE SAME THING AS COMPUTER GLASSES?
Yes and no. Zenni’s UV+ Blue Blockers are blue-light blocking lens that is designed for all-day wear and protection from blue light. Whether you’re a heavy computer user or not, UV+ Blue Blockers can be worn like regular glasses to protect your eyes from harmful blue light emitted from any digital device, as well as artificial fluorescent and LED light exposure. UV+ Blue Blocker lenses are not like the yellow/orange-tinted specialty computer glasses designed specifically for computer and gaming use.

No. UV+ Blue Blockers cannot be tinted, so it can’t be used for sunglasses or photochromic glasses. However, UV+ Blue Blockers provide 100 percent UV protection.
How does blue light affect the eyes?
Prolonged exposure to high-energy visible (HEV) blue light can cause eye strain and blurred vision. Studies have shown that it can also cause damage to the retinal cells which can lead to an increased risk of developing age-related macular degeneration. Macular degeneration leads to vision loss over time. The UV+ Blue Blockers block blue light and provide maximum UV coverage to protect your eyes.
