Who can benefit from Zenni’s FL41 lenses?
Zenni’s new FL-41 lenses may improve the symptoms of our customers who are experiencing light sensitivity and ocular discomfort due to bright lights.
How do Zenni’s FL-41 lenses help? What’s the science behind it?
Zenni’s FL-41 lenses are unique lenses that block 480-520nm wavelengths. This specific range of light includes those wavelengths that are most bothersome to our eyes. By blocking these wavelengths of light, these lenses may help reduce the frequency and overall severity of light sensitivity.
In addition, Zenni’s FL-41 lenses may improve contrast and sharpness. By reducing glare from digital screens and artificial fluorescent lights, individuals may experience immediate eye relief.
How are Zenni’s FL-41 lenses different from Blokz® blue-light blocking lenses?
Zenni’s Blokz® Blue-Light Blocking Lenses block hazardous blue light from digital devices that contribute to eye strain and sleep disruption.
Zenni’s FL-41 lenses are uniquely designed to block a specific range of light (480-520nm) that is most bothersome to our eyes which can also contribute to light sensitivity.
They do filter out some wavelengths of blue light between 390nm and 450nm.
Both lenses offer 100% UV Protection.
Check out the comparison table below:
Lens Information
| Lens Type | Tint Color | Key Wavelengths Filtered | Symptoms/Conditions Treated |
|---|---|---|---|
| FL-41 Lenses | Rose-Tinted/Pink | 480-520nm | Light Sensitivity |
| Blokz® Blue-Light Blocking Lenses | Virtually Clear to Yellow | Up to 450nm | Eye Strain Sleep Disruption |
What is the difference between the 25%, 50%, and 80% Tint?
Zenni’s FL-41 lenses will be available to order in 3 tint levels: 25%, 50%, and 80%. The 25% tint is recommended for indoor use and for those who experience mild light sensitivity. The 50% tint is recommended for moderate light sensitivity and can be used indoors and outdoors. The 80% tint is recommended for outdoor use for those with heavy light sensitivity.
