Constant protection

One of the collective lessons we’ve learned over the past few months is that protecting our eyes from the harmful blue light produced by digital screens has become essential for workers in numerous industries.

Your patients are now looking for new optical technologies that offer protection, comfort and aesthetics to help them perform all their tasks. In this article, we will suggest discussion topics to inform your patients about the new optical solutions available developed by Nikon Optical Canada.?

Out of the blue

While the benefits and advantages of blue light protection have been proven time and time again, some patients are still concerned about the aesthetics of blue light protection lenses. In fact, 1 in 4 people who do not use blue light protection lenses believe that the bluish reflective effect or the yellow residual tint constitute a barrier to purchasing because of their aesthetic [1]. While among patients who already have lenses that block blue light, 2 out of 3 people state that they are still concerned about the yellowish appearance of their lenses [1].

In response to this problem, Nikon Optical Canada has developed an innovative light purification technology. Composed of molecules incorporated directly into its material, the lens effectively filters out harmful blue light and UV rays before they reach your patients’ eyes. Both on the front and back of the lens, this innovative material provides up to 35% blue light absorption and clear lens-like visual clarity with no residual yellow tint or bluish glare. Your patients get optimal protection and clear vision without compromising on aesthetics.

In addition, lenses that protect against harmful blue light are not only essential for maintaining good eye health and optimal vision, but they also help reduce or eliminate the discomforts caused by long periods of screen work: eye strain, headaches, eye irritation or dryness, decreased quantity and quality of sleep, etc. [2] It is important to remind your patients of the need for adequate protection against prolonged exposure to blue light on a daily basis, and in all situations.
