How do Oakley Lenses Resist Blue Light?

[ANGUS]

I would like to know how the OAKLEY lenses resist blue light. Coating the lenses or............?

 

[MicahS]

Sunglasses lenses or optical lenses?

Sunglasses lenses

They infuse the UV absorbing dyes into the lens during the manufacturing process so it cant be damaged or flake off.

Thank you. However, the blue light is not equal to UV. I wonder how to block blue light.

 

[MicahS]

Oakley sunglasses lenses do not block, or do not advertise to block, any blue light within the blue light spectrum, as defined by 400-525nm. They only advertise the block all UV and harmful Blue light below 400nm.

Prizm Gaming is the only lens advertised to block Blue light but has only been widely available on prescription up to this point.

I see. However, I wonder how to block harmful Blue light below 400nm. Coating lens or infusing dye into the lens.................

I would assume it's in the lens itself, not the Iridium coating.

Do you mean infusing dye into lens?

Yes. That’s how they’re blocking/enhancing/contrasting the rest of the light spectrum. I wouldn’t think blue is any different.
