Understanding EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard

EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard is a revolutionary lens technology that offers a multi-faceted approach to eye protection. It filters out harmful ultraviolet rays (UV), infrared radiation (IR), and high-energy blue light (HEV), safeguarding your eyes from potential damage and discomfort. Let’s delve into the benefits of each component:

Filtering UV Light

UV radiation from the sun is a known risk factor for various eye conditions, including cataracts and eyelid carcinomas. This occurs by a mechanism called oxidative stress which involves DNA damage, mutations, cellular damage and inflammatory response.

In our eyes, the cornea filters and absorbs almost all of the UV radiation below wavelengths around 280 nanometers with decreasing absorption as wavelength increases until about 320 nanometers – this is considered UVC and UVB, and can cause photokeratitis. Next, the lens absorbs a majority of the UV light with wavelengths below 400 nanometers – this is considered UVA, and can cause cataracts.

When it comes to our skin, UV light can penetrate our skin at different depths based on wavelength and energy, putting us more at risk for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC).

By blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays, EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard helps prevent long-term UV-related eye damage and reduces the risk of developing these sight-threatening conditions. With EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard, you can enjoy outdoor activities with confidence, knowing that your eyes are protected from harmful UV radiation.

Filtering Infrared Radiation

EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard provides an added layer of protection by reflecting Near-infrared (NIR) light, a specific type of infrared light commonly used by various tracking systems. By reflecting NIR light, EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard reduces unwanted tracking, empowering you with greater control over your privacy in a world where digital surveillance is increasingly common.

Filtering High-Energy Blue Light

High-energy blue light, emitted by digital screens and artificial lighting, has been linked to digital eye strain, disturbances in circadian rhythm, and is currently being studied for impact on retinal damage. EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard filters out a significant portion of blue light, reducing eye strain and fatigue for those with prolonged screen time. With EyeQLenz™ with Zenni ID Guard, you can enjoy enhanced visual comfort and productivity without compromising your eye health.
