If you spend many hours in front of a screen — computer, phone, tablet — you’ve probably noticed eye strain, dryness or headaches by the end of the day. Blue light filtering reduces the part of the light spectrum that contributes most to that strain, without changing how your glasses look or the rest of your prescription.
The important thing: it isn’t a different type of lens — it’s a treatment you can add to any of our lenses. There’s no need to buy specific “computer glasses” or give up the lens type you already need — the blue light filter is fitted the same way on monofocal, Zeiss, Varilux, progressive or non-prescription lenses.
Which lenses you can order the blue light filter on
Monofocal lenses
The most common option if you only need correction for one distance (for example, just for reading up close at the computer). Add the blue light filter directly in the configurator, at no extra turnaround time.
Zeiss lenses
If you prefer Zeiss optical quality for your everyday prescription, you can combine it with the blue light filter on the same lens, without having to choose between brand and screen protection.
Varilux lenses
If you wear Varilux progressives and work long hours at a screen, the blue light filter is a very popular combination: you keep your distance, intermediate and near vision, with the added benefit of less screen fatigue.
Progressive lenses
Same as with Varilux: the blue light filter can be added to any progressive range in our catalogue without any issue.
Non-prescription lenses
Don’t need correction, but want to protect your eyes from screens anyway? You can also order blue-light-filter lenses with no prescription at all, by selecting that option within the same monofocal lenses configurator (that’s also where the “non-prescription” option is managed).
Who especially benefits from the blue light filter?
- Anyone who works at a screen for more than 4-5 hours a day.
- Anyone who notices tired, dry eyes or temporary blurred vision by the end of the day.
- Anyone who has trouble falling asleep after using screens at night (blue light interferes with the circadian rhythm).
- Anyone who already wears progressive or occupational lenses and wants to add this extra protection without switching lenses.
Does the blue light filter change the look or colour of my glasses?
Barely noticeable. It’s a virtually transparent treatment, with a slight bluish reflection at certain light angles — much more discreet than the yellowish “gaming” lenses seen in some ads. It doesn’t affect the colours you see through the lens or your prescription.
Frequently asked questions
Does the blue light filter cost extra?
Yes, it’s an optional treatment in the configurator, with a small added cost that you’ll see reflected in the quote before confirming your order.
Can I combine the blue light filter with anti-reflective or photochromic treatment?
Yes, you can combine several treatments on the same lens depending on what you need.
Is the blue light filter useful if I already have occupational glasses for screens?
Our occupational lenses are already designed for screen distance; the blue light filter is a complementary extra, not mandatory, which you can add if you also want to reduce fatigue from screen light.
Do I need a prescription to order the blue light filter?
No. You can order it either with your regular prescription or with no prescription at all, if you’re only looking for screen protection.
