Blue Light & Transitions Lenses

Blue light filtering and light-adaptive lenses

Lens options can be confusing. We explain what each one actually does so you only pay for what helps your day — whether that is less glare at the computer, lenses that darken outdoors, or both.

What we offer

  • Blue light filtering coatings and lens materials
  • Transitions and other light-adaptive (photochromic) lenses in grey, brown and style colors
  • Premium anti-glare coatings for night driving and screens
  • Scratch-resistant and easy-clean coatings
  • Combinations for single vision, progressives and reading glasses

Good to know

Blue light filters can make screens feel more comfortable for some people, but the American Academy of Ophthalmology does not consider them necessary for eye health. We'll tell you straight whether an anti-glare coating alone would do the job. Also note that most light-adaptive lenses darken less inside a car, because windshields block much of the UV that triggers them.

Blue Light & Transitions Lenses: common questions

Are blue light glasses worth it?

They are a comfort choice, not a medical one. If you spend long hours at screens and like how they feel, they are a reasonable option. A good anti-glare coating is often just as helpful.

Can I add Transitions to progressive lenses?

Yes. Light-adaptive options are available for most single vision and progressive lens designs.

Do Transitions lenses work in the car?

Most darken only partly behind a windshield. If you drive a lot in bright sun, we'll show you options designed for that, or prescription sunglasses.

Bring your prescription — or your favorite frame — and we’ll take it from there.
