Abstract
An article of externally-worn eye wear, including, but not limited to, eyeglasses, sunglasses, goggles, and contact lenses. The eye wear includes a wavelength transmission blocker for blocking substantially all of light wavelengths throughout the blue light spectrum. The wavelength transmission blocker protects the eyes against the harmful effect of the blocked light. Also, since the eye wear is worn externally from the eye, and the user can remove the eye wear, the user can selectively block the light. As such, the eye wear can be worn to block potentially harmful light, or the eye wear can be removed if blocking the light would cause other hazards.
Claims8
An article of externally-worn eye wear comprising a wavelength transmission blocker sized and configured to simulate lutein while maximizing visual acuity and blockage of substantially 100% of transmission of light wavelengths throughout a blue light spectrum set in a range from about 400 nanometers to about 510 nanometers.
