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.

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.
* For more information, please refer to the ZEISS White Paper for DuraVision® BlueProtect UV.
ZEISS offers a comprehensive blue-violet light blocking portfolio that meets different consumer requirements for indoor and outdoor activities, filtering different amounts of blue-violet light depending on the activity.
Sunglass lenses or self-tinting lenses with ZEISS PhotoFusion feature 100% UV protection when you’re outdoors in the sun. An optional enhancement for indoors: ZEISS DuraVision BlueProtect UV. This lens coating also filters out blue light with non-tinted lenses.
* ZEISS exclusively developed the BPI to simplify the recommendation of an adequate blue-blocking solution depending on the wearer’s activities.
For further information please refer to the ZEISS White Paper of DuraVision® BlueProtect UV.
To offer patients true protection, ZEISS has developed an additional anti-reflective layer on the back of the lens, reducing the indirect light reflected into the eye. This extra layer complements the protection offered by ZEISS UVProtect Technology in all clear plastic lenses, which blocks direct UV rays from the front.
More than 90% of UV radiation comes directly from the front. However, a small part approaches the eye indirectly from the sides and back. As some UV rays may be reflected onto the eye by the back surface of the lens, ZEISS anti-reflective coatings are designed to have low reflectance in the UV spectral range.
Back surface UV protection is now integrated as a standard feature into all premium ZEISS DuraVision coatings and mirrors.
ZEISS is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of eyeglass lenses, and is committed to delivering maximum precision and comfort. ZEISS designs and produces lenses, instruments and measurement systems, as well as retail concepts and technology services that continue to raise the bar in vision care.
