In the modern workplace, new artificial lighting techniques are becoming the standard. Strain on the eye caused by blue light has increased enormously as a result of intensive use of electronic devices (PCs, smartphones, tablets, LED TVs, etc.) and the switch from incandescent light bulbs to LEDs.
The proportion of high-energy blue light in the HEV (high-energy visible light) range is particularly strenuous to the eyes, especially the retina. The short-term effects of this include eye strain, headaches or poor concentration, while in the long term there is an increased risk of age-related macular degeneration.
Properly tinted safety eyewear lenses can have a dramatic effect on the quality of the wearer's vision, enhancing comfort, clarity and productivity. uvex's CBR65 tint has been developed to protect wearers working indoors or outdoors for long hours under harsh light conditions.
