DuraVision BlueProtect UV – the solution for indoor activities
ZEISS DuraVision BlueProtect UV reflects parts of the blue-violet light emitted from LEDs as well as TV, computer or tablet screens, preventing it from entering the eye.
This ZEISS coating reduces the transmission in the spectrum of 380–455 nm (blue light hazard) while keeping the high transmission level above 460 nm.
Our exposure to blue-violet light may not always be the same.
However, we must always enjoy comfortable vision.
The two sides of blue-violet light*
Pro
Contra
Regulates circadian rhythm (day-night rhythm)
There is a body of evidence to suggest that blue light in the spectrum between 400 and 520 nm with a maximum at 460 nm is important for the proper regulation of melatonin in the body, which influences circadian rhythms (day-night rhythm) and general well-being.
Increases risk of macular degeneration
On the other hand, there is a body of evidence to suggest that long-term exposure to blue-violet light below 460 nm, with a maximum at 440 nm, may contribute to photochemical damage of the retina, increasing the risk of macular degeneration over time (known as the ‘blue light hazard’).
Requirements in terms of blue-violet light blocking.
Exposure to harmful blue-violet light varies greatly indoors and outdoors. It is important to have adequate blocking of the blue-violet light depending on its intensity.
