Unlike some other blue light protection products, Luzerne Optical’s new TheraBlue is an almost clear lens.
WILKES-BARRE, Pa.—Luzerne Optical Laboratories is releasing TheraBlue, a new lens technology for protection from HEV (High Energy Visible) blue light.

Unlike some other blue light protection products, TheraBlue is an almost clear lens. It is not a coating and does not have a purple or blue reflective color, nor does it have a yellow, orange or peach color like some other products.

The UV and HEV blue light protection comes from the lens material itself. Instead of reflecting blue light, TheraBlue absorbs and filters the damaging HEV blue violet, while allow for the “good” blue turquoise light, Luzerne Optical said.

TheraBlue is available in single vision, progressive lenses, digital round bifocals and computer lenses. It is available in three different materials: 1.67, 1.60 and an impact-resistant 1.56. TheraBlue is compatible with a wide variety of anti-reflective coatings and can be ordered with or without AR.

Luzerne Optical Laboratories is a full service provider of all of the current blue light protection products. The addition of Thera-Blue gives patients an additional choice of a near clear product not currently available in blue light protection products.
