How are 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀𝙎𝘼𝙁𝙀 24 lenses different from other blue light lenses?

𝘉𝘓𝘜𝘌𝘚𝘈𝘍𝘌 24 lenses are built from the ground up to strike the right balance of effectiveness and vision performance. Other lenses that use blue light "cut-off" filters result in a lens with extreme color distortion and are too dark for everyday use. BLUESAFE 24 lenses are based on in-vivo studies of human sensitivity to blue light performed at the CIRCADIAN® Light Research Center and are designed to deliver a safe limit of night-time blue light of less than 2 microwatts per square centimeter when used in typical residential and commercial lighting conditions. Our evidence-based lens design philosophy enables an optimized product that provides the necessary blue light protection with minimal interference to color vision and brightness, supporting consistent use of the eyewear to achieve the desired improvements to circadian health.

What research studies are there about blocking Circadian Blue Light?

BLUESAFE 24 lenses were developed following 10 years of research into human performance optimization at the CIRCADIAN® Light Research Center, led by Dr. Moore-Ede MD PhD, a leading expert in circadian science and a former professor at Harvard Medical School.

How do I order Prescription Glasses?

Currently we offer a prescription-compatible solution using an over-the-glasses / fitover style frame. Coming soon will be clip-on lenses and full prescription lens manufacturing capability. Details: Prescription Glasses

What material are 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀𝙎𝘼𝙁𝙀 24 lenses made from?

Unlike glass and CR-39 plastic lenses which are heavy and prone to breakage on impact, BLUESAFE 24 lenses are formed with ophthalmic-grade polycarbonate: a lightweight plastic with 100% UV blocking, exceptional clarity and impact resistance.

Who invented the technology behind 𝘽𝙇𝙐𝙀𝙎𝘼𝙁𝙀 24 lenses?

BLUESAFE 24 lenses were developed following more than a decade of original research by our founding team of medical doctors, biomedical engineers and research scientists. Our original lens designs are based on insights obtained from studies performed at the CIRCADIAN® Light Reseach Center, a research center established by our founding team in 2010 dedicated to understanding the contribution of light on 24/7 human performance. All studies were performed with volunteer subjects in full compliance with Department of Human Health standards. Details and full-text articles are available here.

Our innovative designs and methods of protecting circadian health have been recognized by patent offices around the world as original inventions worthy of protection, and we are dedicated to continuing to push the envelope with new products in the years to come.

What material are your frames made with?

BLUESAFE 24 lenses are provided in complete eyewear frame+lens packages using optical-grade TR-90 Nylon frames, the same material found in the world's top premium sports eyewear and active sunglass brands. Our TR-90 frames are 30% lighter than acetate, have excellent chemical resistance, and are highly resilient to repeated mechanical stress.
