How do Oakley Lenses Resist Blue Light?

Not all harmful blue, just the low end/UV. Below 455 is harmful. Prizm gaming on the other hand blocks up to 500.

From Sport RX.

"Yes! All Oakley Authentic lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, and block UVC and harmful blue light up to 400 nanometers. Blocking out harmful UV rays reduces strain and increases the long-term health of your eyes. By reducing the stress to protect your eyes, you can stay focused on what matters."

"PRIZM lenses are created, by melting Plutonite down to liquid form and then adding dyes to give it the desired color and tint. This manufacturing method is superior to other brands, because the dye is infused into the lens as opposed to being added on top of the lens as a coating. By using this technique, the UV protection and color enhancing properties cannot be scratched off."

I wish Prizm gaming was available in a lot of non RX products.

Good answer.

I know this, but how the technology blocks harmful blue light is what I'm interested in.

There are two ways. A coating that reflects bad wavelengths (high energy blue - shorter wavelength) and allows to pass good rays (blue turquoise - longer wavelengths)... and secondly a material that absorbs blue light (often by using a melanin colored dye - that's why they often have a yellow hue).

Brands like essilor can use one, the other, or both coating and in mass technology.

I hope that helps anyone still following. Pro tip: tag me w a direct question so i don't have to TLDR read 4 pages.

Prizm Gaming works similarly to the Sunglass range Prizm technology - the Prizm Gaming lens uses a combination of dyes that prevent part of the visible light spectrum from passing through the lens. The Gaming lens actually blocks up to 40% of the blue violet light from passing through the lens, where the Sunglass Prizm range offers up to 20% filtration. At almost double the filtration of the standard "Blue" lens available on the market - these are ideal for people spending loads of time on screens as this technology offers the wearer a reduction in Eye Fatigue and greater contrast in their vision whilst wearing their specs!

Prizm Gaming 的工作原理與 Sunglass 系列 Prizm 技術類似——Prizm Gaming 鏡頭使用染料組合，可防止部分可見光譜通過鏡頭。遊戲鏡頭實際上可阻擋高達 40% 的藍紫色光通過鏡頭，而 Sunglass Prizm 系列可提供高達 20% 的過濾。幾乎是市場上標準“藍色”鏡片的兩倍 - 這些是人們在屏幕上花費大量時間的理想選擇，因為這項技術可以減少佩戴者的眼睛疲勞並在佩戴他們的眼鏡時提高他們的視力對比度！

Does prizm lens also use a combination of dyes?
