How we filter blue light differently
Our blue light filtering technology is embedded into our lenses. It's why LUMES filter 90% of the highest intensity blue light without distorting color.

Why our lenses are better
The same way that sunglasses shield your eyes from harmful UV rays, LUMES blue light glasses can help to protect your eyes from screens.
High-energy visible light (HEV) blocked by LUMES
Studies show that high-energy light frequencies around 400-430nm are linked to digital eye strain. LUMES lenses block a significant percentage of these frequencies to reduce eye strain, headaches and other negative effects of prolonged screen use. Our lenses fully block the very highest energy light to reduce the chances of long-term conditions such as macular degeneration or cataracts.
Why we filter blue light
Our eyes are not really designed to be good at blocking blue or high-energy light. That’s why blue light from screens has been linked to Computer Vision Syndrome or Digital Eye Strain, a condition which encompasses a range of symptoms including headaches, eye strain and sleep cycle disruption.
Potential side effects from prolonged digital screen use:
Eye strain
& dry eyes
Headaches
& tension
Sleep cycle
disruption
Mental &
physical fatigue
Why does blue light harm your eyes?
Light is measured in wavelength, the units of which are nanometers (nm) and millimeters (mm). Visible light has a wavelength range in the region of 400 to 700nm, with blue light falling somewhere between 380 - 500nm. It’s sometimes called high energy visible light (HEV light) because the blue/violet band of the visible spectrum has a particularly high frequency. Our eyes are sensitive to this high-energy light. This is especially true when we are exposed to it for prolonged periods of time such as when we look at digital device screens.
Why we eliminate glare
Glare emitted from different sources of light such as digital screens, artificial light and even sunlight. It usually makes you squint your eyes and can give you a headache. LUMES lenses have an Anti-Glare Coating which reduces the buildup of reflections on the front surface of the lens and prevents 99.9% of glare from entering your eyes.
