Advanced Protection from Blue Light in Waterville
Our optometrists understand that modern life means more screen time than ever before. Whether you’re working on a computer, scrolling your phone, or watching TV, your eyes are exposed to high-energy visible (HEV) blue light that can lead to digital eye strain, poor sleep, and long-term vision concerns.
That’s why we’re proud to offer epik™ BLUE lenses; a cutting-edge solution designed to protect your eyes from harmful blue light while maintaining crystal-clear vision and natural color perception.
What Are epik™ BLUE Lenses?
epik™ BLUE lenses go beyond standard UV protection, absorbing up to 90% of HEV 2 and HEV 1 light bands (400–500nm)—the specific wavelengths identified by ANSI ASC Z80 and The Vision Council as potentially harmful to your eyes.
These lenses feature a proprietary optical pigment and melanin infusion, built directly into the lens material (not just a coating), creating durable, long-lasting protection that won’t wear off.
The result? Clear, natural-looking lenses that filter harmful blue light while allowing beneficial light to pass through.
Why Blue Light Protection Matters
Blue light exposure is unavoidable in today’s digital world, and its effects can add up over time. Studies have linked prolonged exposure to:
- Digital eye strain — symptoms like tired, dry, or burning eyes, headaches, and blurred vision
- Sleep disruption — blue light can affect melatonin production, reducing sleep quality and alertness
- Long-term retinal health risks — cumulative exposure may contribute to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and premature retinal aging
By choosing epik™ BLUE lenses, you’re taking proactive steps to protect your vision and eye health, no matter your age or lifestyle.
