Blue light has several sources. It is predominantly produced by the sun, but other man-made sources also contain blue light (electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, flat-screen TV's or LED, flood lights and fluorescent lighting). In the modern workplace, new artificial lighting techniques and our exposure to screens are all becoming standard practices, however, these can all put additional strain on the eyes.
The proportion of high-energy blue light in the HEV (high-energy visible light) range is particularly strenuous to the eyes, especially the retina. The short-term effects of this include eye strain, headaches or poor concentration, while in the long term there is an increased risk of developing cataracts, glaucoma, dry eye, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other eye diseases*. uvex CBR65 and uvex CBR23 reliably help to protect the eyes against health risks without disrupting the body’s internal clock (circadian rhythm).
Safety eyewear with the appropriate filter can have a dramatic effect on the quality of the wearer’s vision, enhancing comfort, clarity and productivity. The uvex CBR65 and uvex CBR23 lens filters enable high-contrast vision and protect against harmful blue light. Innovative uvex coatings ensure extreme scratch resistance and permanent anti-fog performance – ensuring you remain focused on the task.
