Question 3

Do blue light lenses look different than normal lenses?

Accepted Answer

If you look at a blue light-filtering lens from certain angles, you might notice a slight tint of color. But aside from that, blue light lenses look just like standard lenses.

Research about whether blue light is bad for your eyes is ongoing and not always consistent.
