Prescription glasses frames are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and the lenses in prescription glasses are no different. There are a wide array of materials, tints, and coatings to choose from.
Do Regular Prescription Glasses Filter Blue Light?
Regular prescription glasses can mean many things. At the bare minimum we may be talking about plastic, uncoated lenses or at the other end of the spectrum, a pair of high-index, premium coated lenses. So, again, regular prescription glasses will filter blue light as long as you get the coating! If you don’t opt for the coating, your lenses will let most of the blue light pass through.It should be understood that blue light coating and UV coating are not the same. UV coating helps prevent damaging ultraviolet radiation from reaching your eyes. That kind of coating doesn’t filter blue light so make sure you’re getting what you ask for. Honestly, it’s a great idea to have both!
Can You Get Blue Light Filtering Lenses on Prescription Glasses?
Yep, sure! As mentioned, you can get blue light protection on any ophthalmic lens regardless of whether it’s prescription or not. You can have this coating in addition to any other coatings you might want — such as: anti-glare, scratch resistance, and UV. In fact, it’s a good idea to get all of these coatings! You’re also able to put blue light coating on prescription reading glasses, bifocals, and progressive no-line bifocals. The only type of lens you wouldn’t want to add it to are sunglass lenses, since it’s likely the tint you’ve chosen already filters blue light.---test
