Blue Light & UV420 Protection: The Complete Eyewear Guide

Doctor-approved advice to protect your eyes from screens and sun

📊 Based on 2025 Ophthalmology Research

1. The Truth About Blue Light & UV Radiation

HEV Blue Light (415-455nm)

  • Sources: Screens, LEDs, fluorescent lights
  • Effects: Digital eye strain, sleep disruption
  • Our Solution: CATRA-certified filtering lenses

UV420 Protection

  • Blocks 100% of UVA/UVB + harmful violet light (400-420nm)
  • Essential for: Outdoor workers, drivers, snow sports
  • Our Standard: Exceeds ANSI Z80.3 requirements

2. Who Needs Combined Protection?

 

Digital Professionals

4+ hours screen time? Our NOORBlue lenses reduce eye strain by 27% (2024 study)

 

Outdoor Workers

UV420 shields from sun + reflected glare (concrete, water, snow)

Blue Light & UV420: Myth vs. Science

   

        MYTH

“All blue light is harmful”

Many believe all blue wavelengths damage eyes equally.

        FACT

Only 415-455nm is high-energy

Our lenses selectively filter harmful wavelengths while allowing beneficial blue-turquoise light (465-495nm) that regulates circadian rhythm.

Comparison of blue light and UV protection in glasses

        MYTH

“UV protection is only for sunglasses”

40% of UV exposure occurs when not in direct sunlight.

        FACT

UV420 should be in all eyewear

Our clear lenses block 100% UV up to 420nm, protecting against:

  • Reflected UV from surfaces
  • Office fluorescent lighting
  • High-altitude exposure

        MYTH

“Yellow tint = better protection”

Many assume darker tints mean more protection.

        FACT

Tint ≠ protection level

Our NOORBlue technology provides:

Lens Type Blue Light Filtered UV420 Protection
Clear 92% 100%
Yellow-Tinted 95% 100%

 

“In my practice, I recommend UV420 protection year-round, not just for sunglasses. The violet gap (400-420nm) contributes significantly to retinal aging.”

3. Our Clinically Tested Solutions

NOORBlue

  • Blocks 92% harmful blue light
  • UV420 protection
  • Anti-reflective coating

Why UV420 Matters More Than Standard UV400

Standard UV400 blocks to 400nm. Our UV420 protection covers the dangerous “violet gap” (400-420nm) linked to retinal damage.
