CENTENNIAL
The Lens: Choice BluSelect
The Technology : Protect eyes from UV and
damaging Blue Light to 420nm.
Blue light technology must do more than simply protect
against digital eyestrain. It is also vital to protect against
Retinal Damage from HEV Light.
“It is important to understand the difference between
lenses which provide in-monomer blue light filtering and
lens coatings which attempt to combine both antireflection and blue light reflection functions,” said Rick
LeRoux, Director, Marketing & Communications (Lens
Division) at Centennial Optical. “With BluSelect and
BluTech lenses, the lens materials effectively filter out
the most harmful, highest energy portion of the blue light
spectrum, while being fully compatible with AR coatings.”
The lens also benefits wearers by reducing sleep pattern
disturbance and offering virtually clear in-monomer blue
light filtering. This lens is available in a variety of coatings.
