THE POWER OF PLUS
Compared to clear versions of blue light blocking lenses, which may only block the lower ranges of blue light, Blokz®+ Tints dual-action lenses boast up to 92.73% filtration in the HEV 2 range (400-455 nm). This is the most potentially hazardous range of blue light—which many everyday digital devices emit in high concentrations. Our advanced technology combines in-lens filtration with an anti-blue-light coating, offering maximum protection and style in one lens.
BEYOND THE
YELLOW LENS
With Blokz®+ Tints, the choice is yours. Unlike competitors stuck on standard yellow lens options, we offer a spectrum of vibrant colors. Now, ultra blue light and UV protection come with the freedom to express your unique style—all in one brilliant lens.
OUT-PERFORMING THE REST
Zenni outshines the competition with our advanced lens technology. Blokz®+ Tints block more blue light than leading competitors’ blue light lenses, and even our own Standard Blokz® clear lenses, as shown in the chart.
An eyewear first, Blokz®+ Tints deliver next-level blue light defense in a spectrum of brilliant hues that can be added to any Zenni frames. Experience game-changing protection that surpasses rest in both style and choice.
BLOKZ+ TINTS FAQ
How do Blokz®+ Tints lenses work?
Blokz®+ Tints lenses provide enhanced protection against High Energy Visible blue light, specifically HEV2 blue light emitted from digital screens, through the combination of built-in blue light filtering in the lens material itself and an additional blue light reflective coating for ultra protection.
What are the benefits of Blokz®+ Tints lenses?
Blokz®+ Tints lenses offer several advantages:
- Elevated Eye Comfort: By filtering HEV blue light, these lenses may help minimize eye fatigue and strain during extended screen time.
- Enhanced Sleep Quality: Blokz®+ Tints lenses may help you fall asleep more easily and enjoy better sleep quality by blocking out HEV blue light that may disrupt sleep patterns.
- UV Protection: Safeguard your eyes from potential sun damage with 100% protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

What’s the difference between Blokz®+ Tints and the standard Blokz® clear lenses?
- Blokz®+ Tints is an advanced solution for digital eye strain that specifically targets blue light up to 455 nm (where most blue light from digital devices peaks), whereas the standard Blokz® lens blocks blue light up to 420 nm. Additionally, Blokz®+ Tints is available in 8 different color tints: Amber, Gray, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Rose, and Yellow.
- It is important to note that moderate to high prescription strengths may result in a darker tint due to the increased lens thickness. Individuals with a significantly stronger prescription in one eye (vs. the other) may see a darker tint in one lens due to the difference in lens thickness.
What sets Blokz®+ Tints lenses apart from regular clear lenses?
Blokz®+ Tints lenses stand out from traditional clear optical lenses by providing dual protection against blue light, especially from digital screens. This enhanced protection is achieved through both integrated blue light filtering within the lens material and an additional blue light reflective coating. It's important to note that Blokz®+ Tints lenses are only offered in color tints because of the advanced blue light blocking properties within the chemical makeup of the lens.
*How much blue light protection do Blokz®+ Tints lenses provide?
Blokz®+ Tints lenses offer comprehensive blue light protection up to 92.73% HEV (400 - 455 nm) blue light blockage or 87.04% total (400 - 500 nm) blue light blockage depending on the color you select.
What lens options are available for Blokz®+ Tints lenses?
- We offer non-prescription, single vision, and progressive Blokz®+ Tints lenses.
- Lens options include 1.61 High-Index and 1.67 High-Index for single vision and progressive lenses. Hi-index lens monomers are made from MR by Mitsui Chemicals. High-index lenses are eyeglass lenses that are designed to be thinner and lighter than regular lenses. If your prescription is higher than -4.00 or +3.00, select 1.67 for a thinner and lighter lens.
- Currently, readers or bifocal Blokz®+ lenses are not available.
Will Blokz®+ Tints lenses impact the colors I see?
Color perception varies based on tint and lens thickness. For activities requiring precise color perception (e.g., graphic design, photography), note that there may be some interference, particularly with moderate to high prescription strengths.
Can Blokz®+ Tints be worn while driving?
Blokz®+ Tints are not recommended for driving at night. They can be worn while driving during the day, however please note that colors may appear slightly distorted or different than expected depending on which tint of Blokz®+ Tints you are wearing.
Do Blokz®+ Tints get darker outside in the sun?
No, Blokz®+ Tints are not photochromic, meaning their tint does not change in response to UV light. The darkness of the tint stays consistent whether you are inside or outside. However, Blokz®+ Tints have 100% UV protection, meaning they are designed to shield your eyes from the sun and can be worn as sunglasses if desired.
Do Blokz®+ Tints lenses require special care or cleaning?
These lenses can be cleaned like any other glasses, using a lens cleaning spray and cloth. If you’re looking for a great lens cleaning kit, we recommend our Wash & Dry kit which comes with an isopropyl alcohol spray and mini microfiber cloth. For quick cleaning convenience, we also have pre-moistened wipes with a new and improved ammonia-free solution that removes smudges and dirt without leaving residue.
