Introduction

Let’s be honest—blue light glasses aren’t just a trend anymore. They’re a necessity.

Your customers stare at screens for 8, 10, even 12 hours a day. Office workers, students, gamers, content creators—everyone’s eyes are tired, and they know it. The demand for functional eyewear that protects the eyes and still looks good is exploding, and brands that move fast are reaping the rewards.

But here’s the catch:
Not all “blue light glasses” are built the same. Some are just fashion frames with cheap clear lenses and a sticker. Others come with real blue light filtering technology, certified lenses, and comfort designed for all-day wear.

If you’re an eyewear buyer, brand owner, or distributor, you’ve probably asked:

• What kind of blue light lens actually works?
• How do I make sure the frame + lens combination is comfortable and sells well?
• Can I trust the supplier to deliver on time, with consistent quality?

We get it. We’re a Shenzhen-based eyewear factory, and we’ve worked with clients in the US, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East for years. Most of them came to us after wasting time (and money) on suppliers who didn’t understand the product—or their market.

This guide is made for people like you.

We’ll walk you through everything you need to know about blue light blocking eyewear from a manufacturing and wholesale perspective:

• How blue light lenses actually work
• What lens types and technologies exist (and how to explain them to your customers)
• Frame styles that fit today’s market
• Customization options to build your own brand
• And most importantly—how to source reliably from China

No fluff, no textbook talk—just practical info from the factory floor to your next shipment.

Let’s get into it.

What Are Blue Light Blocking Glasses and How Do They Work?

Everyone’s talking about blue light these days—but let’s break it down clearly.

Blue light is part of the visible light spectrum, with wavelengths between 400–490nm. It comes from natural sources like the sun, but also artificial ones like LED screens, smartphones, laptops, and fluorescent lights. The biggest issue? Excessive exposure to high-energy visible (HEV) blue light—especially in the 420–460nm range—can lead to:

• Digital eye strain
• Dry, irritated eyes
• Blurred vision after long screen time
• Disrupted sleep due to melatonin suppression

That’s where blue light blocking glasses come in. These are not sunglasses. They’re clear or lightly tinted lenses specifically designed to filter out a portion of the blue light spectrum while still allowing other colors to pass through clearly—so you can wear them comfortably indoors, at work, or in front of any screen.

How Do Blue Light Lenses Work?

There are two main ways blue light lenses do their job:

✅ Coated Lenses (Surface Blocking)

These use a special anti-blue light coating applied on the lens surface. You’ll often see a slight blue or purple reflection under light—that’s the coating doing its job. These lenses usually block around 20%–40% of blue light, depending on quality.

• ✔ Affordable
• ✔ Good for fashion lines
• ❗Coating can wear off over time without proper care

✅ Infused Lenses (Substrate Blocking)

These are made with blue light-absorbing materials mixed into the lens base, offering deeper protection, especially in the 420–440nm zone.

• ✔ More durable
• ✔ Can block 40%–60% or more
• ✔ Doesn’t rely on just coating
• ❗Slight tint may be visible (clear amber or yellowish)

Some high-end lenses combine coating + substrate filtering for maximum effect, including UV protection, anti-reflective layers, and scratch resistance.

What Blue Light Glasses Are NOT

Let’s clear up a few common misconceptions:

• Blue light glasses are not sunglasses (unless you choose a photochromic blue light lens).
• They don’t make screens look yellow—they just filter harmful spikes in the blue spectrum.
• Not all clear lenses are protective—a transparent look doesn’t equal filtering power.

So… Do Blue Light Glasses Actually Work?

Yes—if the lenses are made correctly.
Cheap novelty glasses often offer minimal or no real protection, which is why many customers lose trust in this product category. That’s also why we, as a manufacturer, provide tested lenses, complete with filtering rate reports, spectral charts, and CE/FDA certifications upon request.

Bottom Line for B2B Buyers

If you’re sourcing blue light glasses to sell under your own brand or distribute to retailers:

• Understand the lens type you’re buying (coated, infused, or both)
• Check the blue light filtering percentage (BLF%)—typically 20–60%
• Make sure the lenses have AR coating (anti-reflective) for comfort
• Know your target audience, because lens needs vary

We’ll cover all of this in more detail in the next section: lens types, colors, coating, and how to offer the right specs for the right market.

Deep Dive into Blue Light Lenses: Types, Technology, and Performance

If you’re planning to sell or wholesale blue light glasses, here’s the truth: your customers aren’t buying frames—they’re buying lens performance.

The look might get their attention, but it’s the lens that protects their eyes, solves their screen fatigue, and makes them come back to your brand.

Let’s break down the different lens types, the technology behind them, and what you need to understand to source the right product for your business.

1. Types of Blue Light Lenses

✅ Coating-Based Blue Light Lenses

These lenses use a surface coating that reflects or absorbs blue light. You’ll often notice a blue, green, or purple reflective sheen when tilting the lens under light.

• Filtering rate: 15%–35%
• Pros: Affordable, clear look, good for fashion lines
• Cons: Coating may degrade over time without proper handling

Perfect for entry-level eyewear or when you want high-margin, low-cost SKU options.

✅ Infused / Substrate Blue Light Lenses

These lenses are made by blending blue light filtering agents directly into the lens base material—no surface coating needed.

• Filtering rate: 30%–60%
• Pros: Long-lasting filtering effect, more even protection
• Cons: Slight tint (light yellow or amber), slightly higher cost

Great for professional users, screen workers, students, or brands positioning for functionality + reliability.

✅ Combination Lenses (Coated + Infused)

Some premium lenses combine internal filtering + multiple coatings:

• Anti-blue light
• AR (anti-reflective)
• Anti-scratch
• UV400 protection
• Oil-repellent (for easy cleaning)

These are the best all-rounders for brand owners who want a high-performance product that works, looks great, and lasts.

✅ Photochromic Blue Light Lenses

Yes—you can have both. These lenses block blue light indoors and automatically darken under sunlight, acting as sunglasses outdoors.

• Excellent for all-day wear
• Ideal for people who go between office and outdoor environments
• Can be made with prescription or plano lenses

2. Lens Colors and Market Preferences

Not all blue light lenses look the same. Based on different materials and filtering levels, the color may vary slightly:

🔍 Pro Tip: Some markets (e.g., USA, Japan) prefer clear lenses with minimal tint, while others (e.g., gaming communities, Southeast Asia) don’t mind yellow-tinted lenses with higher protection.

3. Key Technical Parameters to Understand

When comparing blue light lenses, look out for these specs:

• Blue Light Blocking Rate (BLF%)
  • Example: “Blocks 35% of blue light between 420–450nm”
  • More isn’t always better—balance with clarity and comfort
• Filtering Wavelength Range
  • Most harmful blue light lies between 415–455nm
  • Lenses should target this zone for true protection
• Visible Light Transmission (VLT%)
  • Too low = dark lens, hard to wear indoors
  • Good lenses have high VLT% while still filtering blue light
• Coatings
  • AR coating: Prevents glare from screens
  • Scratch-resistant coating: Extends lifespan
  • Oil-repellent coating: Reduces smudges, easier cleaning
  • UV400: Full protection from UV rays (even indoors near windows)

4. How to Test Blue Light Lenses

A lot of factories say “we offer blue light glasses,” but can’t prove it. That’s a red flag.

Here’s how real blue light filtering is tested:

• Blue light pen test: Shines blue beam through lens to see if it blocks
• Spectrometer reading: Measures absorption across wavelengths
• Certified lab test reports: CE, FDA, ANSI, ISO compliant
• Factory QC reports: Real data on filtering performance

At EyewearBeyond, we test lenses before assembly and again after, especially for OEM projects. You’ll receive actual data, not just a sticker that says “blue light.”

Bottom Line

In the blue light eyewear business, the lens is your product’s core value.

If you get the lens right—comfortable, effective, and tested—you’ll gain customer trust, repeat orders, and lower return rates. If you get it wrong, you’ll lose margin, brand credibility, and market share.

We’ve helped dozens of eyewear brands avoid those mistakes. In the next section, we’ll show you how to match the right lens with the right frame design, so your product looks as good as it performs.

What Frame Materials and Styles Work Best for Blue Light Glasses?

You’ve got your lenses sorted—now let’s talk frames.

A lot of first-time buyers think:

“I’ll just use the same frames I use for sunglasses or prescription glasses.”

It’s not that simple.

While blue light blocking glasses can technically fit into any frame, some materials and styles perform—and sell—better depending on your market and use case. Let’s break it down.

1. What Frame Materials Are Commonly Used for Blue Light Glasses?

Why Should You Source Blue Light Glasses from China—and What Makes Shenzhen Different?

If you’re serious about selling blue light glasses, here’s something you’ve probably already realized:

It’s not just about the product.
It’s about finding a supplier who can actually deliver—on time, at scale, and with consistent quality.

That’s why most successful eyewear buyers and brand owners source directly from China—and more specifically, Shenzhen.

Let’s break down why, and what you should know before placing your wholesale order.

1. Why Is China the Global Hub for Blue Light Eyewear?

China has dominated the eyewear supply chain for years—not just because of cost, but because of:

• 🏭 Mature manufacturing systems (frames + lenses + assembly under one roof)
• 🔁 Rapid iteration: Quick turnaround for sampling and production
• 📦 Integrated packaging + shipping solutions
• 📄 Certifications support (CE, FDA, ISO, etc.)

In other words, if you want to build a collection, scale a brand, or test SKUs without delays—China is where it happens.

2. Why Choose Shenzhen Over Other Cities?

You’ve probably heard of Wenzhou, Danyang, or Xiamen in the eyewear world. But for functional + fashion eyewear like blue light glasses, Shenzhen has a unique advantage:

• 🚢 Proximity to Hong Kong = fast international shipping
• 📦 Logistics efficiency = ideal for Amazon, Shopify, retail chains
• 👩‍💻 Experienced with export clients (we work with brands from 30+ countries)
• 🧠 More design-forward factories = better aesthetics + quality control
• 🔗 Close to optical lens factories = faster lens sourcing and integration

At EyewearBeyond, we’re located right in Shenzhen. That means we’re faster to sample, faster to ship, and easier to work with for overseas buyers.

3. What Does the Wholesale Process Look Like?

Need something faster? We also have ready stock models with blue light lenses that can ship within 3–5 days.

4. What Are the MOQs, Lead Times, and Options?

We understand that not every client wants to order 10,000 pieces. That’s why we’re flexible with MOQs and timelines:

💡 First-time buyer? We recommend starting with 2–3 models, 100–200 pcs each, to test the market.

5. How Does EyewearBeyond Stand Out as a Supplier?
