High Performance Lens - What's that mean, exactly?

High performance, high definition. Those words get used a lot. When we talk about BluTech Lenses being "high performance," what exactly do we mean? 

BluTech Lenses are made infused with chemistry that mimics our natural Ocular Lens Pigment (OLP). OLP is the substance the very mature adult human eye uses to shield our retinas from high energy blue light. 

High energy blue light can have a negative impact on our daily vision, health and overall sense of well-being. There are a number of recent studies that confirm this correlation, linking blue light to health concerns like digital eye strain, retina damage, obesity, diabetes, and even health and behavioral problems in children. Using a BluTech Lens means that you are providing additional protection with the same solution nature provides, filtering the exact high-energy wave lengths that are most damaging. 

Where other "blue light treatments" actually deflect a small portion of blue light away from the eye, BluTech simply filters the wave lengths naturally; absorbing the most damaging wavelengths as nature intended, while still allowing through the wavelengths required for true to life color perception and control of our circadian rhythm (sleep/wake cycle). This filtering naturally enhances your ability to see well. Eyes that don't have to strain to see through blue light scatter are far more relaxed and comfortable. BluTech users often relate to us that they suffer less from digital eye strain, dry eyes, and fatigue. 

Beyond the potential health benefits, however, BluTech provides other high-performance benefits. The OLP lenses improve contrast, making your vision crisp and clear; Glare is significantly reduced; Colors appear brighter, and objects more defined. Indoor BluTech Lenses even improve clarity of vision when driving at night. And, outdoor enthusiasts especially love BluTech polarized for this reason. Golfers regularly tell us they can read the greens more easily while they're playing, because their vision is actually enhanced by the lens. 

But wait, there's more! BluTech Outdoor Lenses have all the optical advantages of polarized lenses, controlling glare and blocking 100% of UVA and UVB. They also allow the wearer to read their digital devices without removing their glasses. That means smartphone screens, tablet computers, digital car dashboards, and even your fish-finder. Finally - a lens that helps you interact with your world just the way you want to, while still protecting your vision. That's what we mean when we say "high performance."

My Migraines are Gone - a Patient's Story

A Phoenix optician working in an independent optometrist's office recently related this terrific patient story to us.
"About a year or so ago I had a patient come out of her eye exam upset she didn't have a prescription! Now as someone who has been in glasses since she was 6 I thought she was crazy.
     "So of course I started asking questions about why she wanted a prescription. Basically she worked on a computer 8+ hours a day and everyday she was coming home with a migraine. We had just started taking BluTech in the practice so I asked if she would be my "guinea pig." I offered her a guaranteed refund if she wasn't happy so she could try the lenses without feeling obligated.
     "Three weeks later, I found her back in my waiting room playing on her smartphone with her BluTechs on. I asked how she liked them and I was actually amazed by her answer. 'Since I've gotten them I haven't had one migraine. It feels so good wearing them I find I wear them all the time.'"
We're always thrilled to hear these kind of patient stories. Again and again, the user experience bears out the dramatic improvement that BluTech Lenses can have on the quality of patients' lives.

Do you have a great patient story to relate? We'd love to hear from you! Send us a message!
