Introduction
Digital screens are everywhere — from the phones in our pockets to the laptops we use for work and the TVs we unwind with at night. But as screen time increases, so does the concern over blue light exposure.
If you’ve ever experienced eye fatigue, dry eyes, or trouble sleeping after a long day in front of a screen, you’re not alone. Millions of people are turning to blue light blocking lenses to reduce digital eye strain and protect long-term eye health. But with so many types of lenses on the market, how do you know which one is right for you — or for your customers?
In this guide, we’ll break down the different types of blue light blocking lenses, their features, and how to choose the best option based on your needs or target market. Whether you’re an eyewear retailer, distributor, or brand developer, this is the comprehensive product guide you’ve been looking for.
What Are Blue Light Blocking Lenses?
Blue light blocking lenses are specially designed optical lenses that filter or absorb high-energy visible (HEV) blue light, typically in the 400–500 nm range. This light is emitted by digital devices, LED lighting, and the sun — and overexposure may contribute to eye strain, disrupted sleep patterns, and even retinal stress over time.
These lenses don’t block all blue light — and that’s a good thing. Instead, they target the most harmful wavelengths while allowing beneficial light through. Depending on the lens type, this filtration can be nearly invisible (clear lenses) or visible through a yellow, orange, or amber tint.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. The ideal lens depends on how much screen time someone has, what devices they use, and when they wear their glasses — daytime, evening, or all day.
Types of Blue Light Blocking Lenses: All You Need to Know
Not all blue light blocking lenses are created equal. Depending on how much screen time your customers have, what time of day they use devices, and how sensitive they are to light, the ideal lens type can vary quite a bit.
Below, we’ll break down the most common types of blue light lenses in the market today — along with their use cases, benefits, and limitations. Whether you’re planning to stock ready-made styles or create a custom private label collection, understanding these categories will help you offer the right solutions to your customers.
1. Clear Blue Light Lenses
These are the most discreet and versatile blue light lenses available. They look just like standard clear lenses, but have a subtle coating that filters out part of the harmful blue spectrum (usually around 20–30%).
Best for:
- All-day wear
- Office workers
- Students
- First-time blue light lens users
Pros:
- No visible tint — ideal for professional settings
- Comfortable for all-day wear
- Compatible with prescription and non-prescription frames
Cons:
- Offers lower blue light filtration compared to tinted lenses
- Not ideal for night-time or high-exposure situations
2. Yellow-Tinted Lenses
These lenses have a noticeable yellow tint, which enhances contrast and filters out a broader range of blue light (typically 40–60%).
Best for:
- Daytime screen use
- Long work or gaming sessions
- Mild eye strain prevention
Pros:
- Reduces eye fatigue more effectively than clear lenses
- Improves visual contrast
- Popular with gamers and remote workers
Cons:
- Visible yellow tint may not appeal to all users

3. Orange/Amber Lenses
Designed for heavy-duty blue light blocking, amber or orange lenses can block up to 90–100% of blue light in the 400–500 nm range. These are often marketed as night-time blue light glasses.
Best for:
- Evening device use
- People with sleep issues
- High screen exposure before bedtime
Pros:
- Maximum blue light protection
- Helps regulate melatonin and improve sleep quality
- Strong choice for users with digital eye strain or light sensitivity
Cons:
- Strong amber/orange tint — less stylish for daytime wear
- May distort colors significantly
4. Photochromic Blue Light Lenses
These lenses combine blue light blocking with light-sensitive technology. They darken automatically in sunlight and remain clear indoors while still filtering blue light.
Best for:
- Users who move between indoor screens and outdoor environments
- People who want 2-in-1 protection (sunlight + screens)
Pros:
- Convenient for indoor/outdoor transitions
- Reduces need for separate sunglasses
- Available in both prescription and non-prescription formats
Cons:
- May take several minutes to adjust between lighting conditions
- Higher cost than regular blue light lenses
5. Prescription Blue Light Lenses
Any of the above lenses can be combined with vision correction to suit nearsighted, farsighted, or multifocal needs. For eyewear brands and retailers, this opens up the opportunity to offer custom blue light lenses that serve both vision correction and eye protection.
Best for:
- Users who already wear prescription glasses
- Eyewear stores or opticians looking to upsell add-ons
Pros:
- Combines convenience and health benefits
- Higher average order value for resellers
- Fully customizable (coatings, materials, frame styles)
Cons:
- Requires accurate prescription input
- May involve more complex order fulfillment (for online retailers)
What to Consider When Choosing a Type
When selecting lens types for your business or brand, ask:
- Who is your customer — students, office workers, gamers, parents, kids?
- Will they wear these glasses all day or only in the evening?
- Do they need prescription lenses, or are they just looking for screen-time relief?
- How important is fashion/style vs. function?
At EyewearBeyond, we help clients match the right lens technology to their market — whether it’s launching a budget-friendly line of yellow-tinted frames or developing a premium collection of clear photochromic lenses with prescription support.
Coming up next: What lens color is actually best for blue light protection? Let’s compare how tint affects both filter strength and user comfort.
What Color Lens Is Best for Blue Light Protection?
If you’ve ever shopped for blue light blocking glasses — or considered which types to stock for your customers — you’ve probably noticed they come in different colors: clear, yellow, orange, even reddish-amber. But what do these colors actually mean? And more importantly, which color offers the best protection?
The answer depends on one key question: What’s the purpose of the lens?
Let’s break it down by use case and filter strength.
Clear Lenses: Low-Intensity, Everyday Use
Clear blue light lenses are ideal for light to moderate screen users, such as office workers, students, and people who just want a little extra comfort during the day.
- Filtration level: ~20–30%
- Light transmission: 90%+ (no significant color distortion)
- Best for:
- All-day wear
- Indoor environments
- Professional or fashion-conscious users
Note: While clear lenses won’t block all blue light, they offer a great balance of comfort, style, and minimal interference with your daily visual experience.
Yellow-Tinted Lenses: Enhanced Contrast and Moderate Protection
Yellow lenses are often chosen by gamers, designers, and people who stare at screens for 5+ hours a day. They filter more blue light while also improving contrast.
- Filtration level: ~40–60%
- Light transmission: 70–85%
- Best for:
- Reducing eye strain
- Enhancing focus and contrast
- Longer work or gaming sessions
Fun fact: Yellow-tinted lenses are especially helpful in low-light settings like night shifts or dim offices.
Amber/Orange Lenses: Heavy-Duty Night Protection
These lenses provide maximum blue light filtration, especially in the 400–470 nm range, which is linked to melatonin suppression and disrupted sleep.
- Filtration level: 90–100%
- Light transmission: 50–70% (visible orange tint)
- Best for:
- Evening and night-time use
- Users with sleep problems
- Light-sensitive users
Important: These lenses can distort color perception, so they’re not suitable for design work or tasks that require true color accuracy.
Red-Tinted or Specialized Amber Lenses: Therapeutic Use
Some brands offer red or dark amber lenses that block nearly all blue and green light, often used in medical or neurological contexts (e.g., for migraine relief or insomnia treatment).
- Filtration level: 100%
- Use case: Not typically for mainstream consumers — more of a medical-grade or wellness-focused niche
So, Which Lens Color Is Best?
It depends on the user’s needs:
| Lens Color | Protection Level | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Clear | Low | Daytime work, casual use, style-conscious users |
| Yellow | Medium | Gamers, long screen sessions, low light |
| Orange/Amber | High | Evening use, eye strain, sleep support |
| Red | Maximum | Specialized therapeutic use |
If you’re building a product line, we recommend offering at least two options — one clear and one tinted — to cover both daily use and night-time protection.
At EyewearBeyond, we support full customization of lens color, coating, and blue light filtration level based on your market. Whether you’re targeting digital professionals, kids, or wellness-focused consumers, we help you choose the right technical specs with the right visual appeal.
Next up: Let’s explore the hidden tech — the coatings and treatments that make blue light lenses perform better and last longer.
Blue Light Lens Coatings and Technologies
When it comes to blue light blocking lenses, it’s not just about the color — it’s about the technology behind the lens. From the coatings that enhance performance to the materials that increase comfort and durability, understanding what’s happening on the microscopic level can help you choose — or sell — better.
Here’s a breakdown of the most important lens coatings and treatments used in blue light blocking eyewear today.
1. Blue Light Filtering Coating
This is the core layer that filters specific wavelengths in the blue light spectrum (usually 400–450 nm). It’s typically applied on the front surface of the lens and works by either absorbing or reflecting high-energy light.
Key features:
- Reduces digital eye strain
- Protects the retina from HEV light
- May have a slight blue or green sheen under light reflection
Important for B2B buyers: The effectiveness of the coating varies by supplier. Ask for test data or transmission spectrum reports to verify real performance — not just marketing claims.
2. Anti-Reflective (AR) Coating
AR coatings reduce glare from screens, headlights, or overhead lighting. While not directly linked to blue light protection, they significantly improve clarity and reduce distraction — especially for users in high-glare environments.
Benefits:
- Sharper vision in bright rooms
- Better night-time screen comfort
- Makes lenses appear more transparent (aesthetic bonus)
This is a must-have upgrade if you’re targeting office professionals, gamers, or premium customers.
3. Scratch-Resistant Coating
Kids, gamers, office workers — no one wants scratched lenses. Most high-quality blue light lenses come with a hard coating layer to improve surface durability.
Good to know:
- Scratch resistance is especially important for polycarbonate lenses
- Great for active users, kids, or buyers who want long-lasting value
At EyewearBeyond, scratch-resistant coatings come standard on most lens options, but we also offer upgraded abrasion resistance for specific markets.
4. UV Protection Coating
Blue light isn’t the only thing damaging your eyes. UV (ultraviolet) rays — particularly UVA and UVB — also contribute to long-term eye health issues.
Many modern blue light lenses offer UV400 protection, which blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays, making them ideal for customers who move between screen time and outdoor environments.
Best for:
- Blue light + sun exposure hybrid use
- Users who don’t want to switch between glasses and sunglasses
- All-day comfort with full-spectrum protection
5. Oleophobic and Hydrophobic Coatings
These are “anti-smudge” and “anti-water” coatings that make lenses easier to clean and more resistant to fingerprint marks, sweat, or oil.
Why it matters for blue light glasses:
- People wear them at work, at home, at the gym — they need to stay clean
- Less cleaning = longer lens life and better user experience
Especially useful for daily wearers, kids, and anyone using glasses in hot or humid conditions.
6. Anti-Static Coating
This lesser-known coating repels dust and micro-particles, keeping the lenses cleaner for longer and preventing dust buildup — especially important for people working in office environments, labs, or manufacturing settings.
Combining Coatings for Maximum Value
Most modern lenses — especially those offered by EyewearBeyond — combine multiple coatings in one multi-layer system.
For example:
A premium blue light lens may include:
Blue light filter + Anti-reflective + UV protection + Scratch-resistant + Oleophobic coating
As a B2B buyer or brand owner, you can choose between:
- Standard coating packages (cost-effective for bulk orders)
- Premium multi-coating options (higher margin, ideal for branded lines)
We offer full customization based on your target market, budget, and brand positioning.
Coming up next: Let’s take a look at useful accessories that complement blue light lenses — from clip-ons to screen protectors, and how you can bundle them for added value in retail or online sales.
Useful Blue Light Blocking Accessories
Blue light protection isn’t limited to just lenses — there’s a growing market of complementary accessories that enhance comfort, extend product life, or add convenience for end users.
If you’re looking to increase average order value (AOV), create bundled products, or simply offer more value to your customers, these add-ons are worth exploring.
Here are the most popular accessories that pair well with blue light glasses — and how to use them strategically in your product lineup.
1. Clip-On Blue Light Filters
For users who already wear prescription glasses, clip-on blue light filters are a simple and cost-effective solution. These lightweight attachments fit over regular eyewear and instantly add blue light protection — without the need to switch frames.
Ideal for:
- Prescription wearers who want flexible protection
- Budget-conscious buyers
- Travel and portability-focused audiences
Tip for wholesalers: Offer these in universal sizes and basic tints (clear/yellow) to maximize appeal.
2. Blue Light Blocking Screen Protectors
Not everyone wants to wear glasses. Screen protectors for laptops, monitors, tablets, and smartphones can help reduce blue light at the source.
Benefits:
- No-wearable solution
- Compatible with corporate wellness initiatives
- Easy upsell with electronics or office supply packages
These are especially popular with schools, co-working spaces, and digital professionals who use multiple devices.
3. Lens Cleaning Kits for Coated Glasses
Blue light lenses usually come with multiple coatings (anti-reflective, anti-scratch, oleophobic), and these require gentle cleaning to avoid damage.
Offering a custom lens cleaning kit with each pair of glasses is a great way to:
- Encourage proper lens care
- Promote your brand (via logo on cloths or spray bottles)
- Increase perceived product value
A standard kit might include:
- Microfiber cloth
- Lens-safe cleaning spray
- Instruction card
4. Storage Cases with Anti-Scratch Linings
A high-quality protective case isn’t just functional — it’s an important branding opportunity.
Hard-shell or soft-shell cases with anti-scratch lining, shock absorption, and branding options can increase the overall appeal of your eyewear collection. Bonus if you add:
- Printed designs that match your product theme (e.g. kids, gamers, professionals)
- Bundled value packs (glasses + case + cleaning kit)
5. Anti-Blue Light Stickers for DIY Use
For ultra-budget markets or marketing campaigns, self-adhesive blue light filter stickers (usually for phones and tablets) offer a low-cost, easy-to-understand solution.
Great for:
- Giveaway promotions
- First-time blue light users
- Schools or NGOs working on digital eye health education
Bundling Strategy: Add More Value, Increase Sales
By offering bundles such as:
- Blue light glasses + cleaning kit
- Clip-on lenses + travel case
- Blue light glasses + screen protector + accessories kit
…you not only improve the user experience, but also differentiate your brand from competitors offering just a single product in a box.
At EyewearBeyond, we help clients develop full product bundles for B2B, retail, and e-commerce channels. All accessories can be customized with your logo, colors, and packaging style to match your brand identity.
Coming up next: Blue light isn’t “one-size-fits-all.” Let’s look at real-world use cases to help you match the right product to the right customer group — from office workers to kids to night-time binge watchers.
Who Should Use Blue Light Blocking Glasses? Real-World Use Cases
Blue light blocking glasses aren’t just a tech accessory — they’re becoming a daily essential for people across all age groups and lifestyles. Understanding how different user groups interact with screens can help you offer the right lens types, style options, and price points to match their needs.
Below are the top customer segments that benefit from blue light eyewear — and how you can build products that speak to them.

Coming up next: Ever wondered how these lenses are actually made? Let’s walk through the manufacturing process — from raw materials to finished product.
How Are Blue Light Lenses Made?
Blue light blocking lenses may look simple on the outside, but there’s a lot of science and precision that goes into creating lenses that are not only effective — but also safe, comfortable, and visually appealing.
If you’re a buyer, retailer, or brand owner considering adding blue light eyewear to your product line, understanding the manufacturing process will help you evaluate quality and make informed sourcing decisions.
Here’s a step-by-step overview of how blue light lenses are made — from raw materials to final coating.
Step 1: Selecting the Lens Base Material
The process begins with choosing the right base material, depending on the needs of the market.
Common materials include:
- CR-39 (Plastic) – Lightweight, affordable, suitable for non-impact use
- Polycarbonate – Shatter-resistant, ideal for kids or sports frames
- Trivex – Premium optical clarity + impact resistance
- High Index Plastic – Thinner, lighter lenses for stronger prescriptions
At EyewearBeyond, we work with all major lens materials and guide clients in selecting the best option for their market (e.g., children, gamers, office professionals).
Step 2: Integrating Blue Light Filtering Technology
Blue light blocking properties can be added to lenses in two main ways:
a) In-Material (Substrate) Technology
The lens material itself is infused with blue light filtering compounds during the casting or molding stage. This results in uniform protection throughout the lens — even after minor scratches.
Advantages:
- Long-lasting protection
- Often more subtle than coated lenses
- Ideal for premium or prescription use
b) Surface Coating Technology
A special blue light filter coating is applied to the surface of a finished lens blank. It selectively filters out harmful blue light wavelengths.
Advantages:
- More cost-effective
- Easier to apply to stock lenses
- Can be combined with other coatings (AR, scratch-resistant)
Step 3: Optical Shaping and Surfacing
If the lens is for prescription use, it goes through digital surfacing, where precise curvature is applied based on the wearer’s Rx. This process uses CNC (computer numerical control) technology to ensure accuracy.
For non-Rx (plano) blue light lenses, the shaping is standardized, but still requires precision edging to fit the selected frame shape.
Step 4: Multi-Layer Coating Application
Most modern blue light lenses are multi-coated, combining different technologies in layered form. A typical lens might include:
- Blue light filtering layer
- Anti-reflective coating
- Scratch-resistant coating
- UV400 protection
- Oleophobic (smudge-resistant) coating
These coatings are applied using vacuum deposition chambers and cured at high temperatures for durability.
Step 5: Quality Inspection and Testing
Before packaging, lenses go through:
- Visual inspection (clarity, defects, dust)
- Light transmission tests (to ensure correct blue light filtration)
- Durability testing (for coatings and scratch resistance)
- Prescription accuracy check (for Rx lenses)
At EyewearBeyond, we also offer third-party lab testing for compliance with standards like CE, CPSIA, and REACH — especially important for kids’ blue light glasses.
Step 6: Mounting into Frames & Final Assembly
Lenses are then edged to fit specific frame designs and mounted using automated or manual assembly tools, depending on the frame material and style.
We offer both:
- Fully assembled blue light glasses (ready for B2C sale)
- Lens-only supply (for retailers or opticians to fit in their own frames)
Step 7: Packaging & Branding
Finally, the glasses are cleaned, packaged, and customized with your:
- Brand logo (on temples, pouches, boxes)
- Instruction cards
- Certificates or QR codes
- Cleaning cloth and case (optional bundle)
We also support retail packaging design, making it easy to go from factory to shelf — or to your online storefront.
Coming up next: With so many options, how do you choose the right type of blue light lenses for your customers or business? Let’s break it down by need, lifestyle, and market.
How to Choose the Right Blue Light Lenses for Your Needs
Now that you know the different types of blue light lenses, how they’re made, and who they’re for — the next big question is:
How do you choose the right one for your brand, store, or customer base?
The “best” blue light lens isn’t the same for everyone. The ideal choice depends on a mix of user behavior, style preference, health concerns, and budget.
Let’s break it down by the five key decision factors we recommend to our clients at EyewearBeyond:
1. Based on Screen Time and Daily Exposure
How many hours a day will the end-user be exposed to screens?
- 1–4 hours/day: Clear lenses are usually enough. They reduce mild fatigue without changing the visual appearance.
- 4–8 hours/day: Yellow-tinted lenses offer better protection and contrast enhancement. Ideal for professionals, gamers, and students.
- 8+ hours/day or night-time use: Amber or orange lenses are best, especially for users needing sleep support or protection from high-intensity LED lighting.
Pro tip: Offer at least two tiers in your product line — standard (clear) and pro (amber) — to cover a broader customer range.
2. Based on Lifestyle or Occupation
Different jobs and routines come with different needs:
| User Type | Best Lens Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Office Worker | Clear with AR coating | Clean, professional look |
| Gamer | Yellow-tinted, anti-glare | High contrast, reduced fatigue |
| Student | Clear or yellow | Durable frames + moderate filtration |
| Night Owl | Amber/orange | Sleep-focused design and messaging |
| Parent/Wellness Buyer | Clear or pastel-tinted | Style + basic protection, eco packaging matters |
Build niche collections to align with these personas — they convert better than “one-style-for-all” strategies.
3. Based on Lens Tint Preference
Some users prioritize style, others prioritize function. Offer lens options that strike a balance:
- Clear lenses: Best for style-conscious users, offices, and teens.
- Yellow lenses: Best for long-time screen users who don’t mind light color change.
- Amber/orange lenses: For serious blue light protection; market them for sleep, recovery, or high-focus tasks.
Customization Tip: You can also offer slightly tinted clear lenses — visually clear with extra protection — for users who want a professional look but stronger filtration.
4. Based on Prescription Needs
If your target market includes prescription wearers, blue light filtering must be available in:
- Single vision
- Progressives
- Reading lenses
- Photochromic options
At EyewearBeyond, we can integrate blue light protection into any prescription lens format. This unlocks major upsell opportunities for opticians and online retailers.
5. Based on Market Regulations and Brand Positioning
Depending on where you sell, you may need lenses that comply with:
- CE certification (EU)
- CPSIA standards (USA for kids)
- REACH regulations (chemical safety in Europe)
- FDA registration (for Rx lenses in USA)
If you’re a premium or health-focused brand, this isn’t optional — it’s your brand promise. We can support you with full documentation, test reports, and compliance advice.
Final Tip: Test, Learn, Then Scale
You don’t need to launch with 20 SKUs. Most of our clients start with:
- 3–5 lens types
- 2–3 target user groups
- 1–2 pricing tiers
Then expand based on customer feedback and market response. At EyewearBeyond, we help clients prototype, sample, and refine before they scale.

FAQs – Blue Light Blocking Lenses: What Buyers and Brands Want to Know
When it comes to blue light blocking lenses, there’s no shortage of questions — from both end users and wholesale buyers. Below are some of the most frequently asked, high-impact questions we hear in the eyewear industry.
These aren’t just technical details — they’re the questions people type into Google, ask on Reddit, or bring up during sales meetings.
Let’s break them down.
1. Do Blue Light Glasses Really Work?
Yes — when made correctly and matched to the right use case.
Proper blue light lenses can help:
- Reduce digital eye strain
- Improve contrast and focus
- Support better sleep by reducing melatonin disruption (especially amber lenses)
- Protect against long-term retinal stress
However: Not all lenses are created equal. Coating quality, lens material, and certified filtration matter. Always request lab data when buying in bulk.
2. What’s the Difference Between Clear, Yellow, and Amber Blue Light Lenses?
Clear lenses block about 20–30% of blue light and are ideal for all-day, fashion-conscious users.
Yellow lenses block more (~40–60%), improve contrast, and reduce fatigue during extended screen use.
Amber/orange lenses block up to 90–100% of blue light and are best for night-time use and sleep regulation.
The darker the tint, the stronger the protection — but also the more color distortion. Choose based on your target audience’s needs.
3. Can Kids Wear Blue Light Glasses?
Absolutely — and they should, especially if they spend time on:
- Tablets
- Online classes
- Gaming consoles
- Smart TVs
At EyewearBeyond, we manufacture CPSIA- and CE-certified blue light glasses for children with safe, flexible TR90 or silicone frames. Custom colors and cartoon styles are available for private label brands.
4. Are Blue Light Glasses Just a Trend — or a Long-Term Market?
They started as a trend — but now they’re part of the digital lifestyle essentials. As screen use increases across all age groups, demand for eye protection rises too.
B2B buyers are increasingly:
- Launching dedicated “blue light” product lines
- Offering blue light add-ons for prescription lenses
- Creating themed SKUs (Work-from-Home, Kids Learning, Gamer Series)
This is no longer a niche — it’s a product category.
5. What Certifications Should I Look For When Buying in Bulk?
Depending on your market, look for:
- CE (EU market)
- CPSIA (US children’s products)
- REACH (EU chemical safety compliance)
- FDA (for Rx lenses or medical classification)
EyewearBeyond provides all necessary documentation for exports and can assist with customs clearance, labeling, and packaging compliance.
6. Can I Build a Private Label Blue Light Eyewear Brand?
Yes — and you can do it without massive upfront investment.
We offer:
- Custom logo printing
- Branded packaging
- Support for matching SKUs to lifestyle personas (e.g. students, gamers, parents)
- Sample development and small-batch testing
Some of our top clients started with 100–300 units and scaled to 10,000+ within a year.
