COLOUR PERCEPTION AND BLUE LIGHT
Essilor’s Sports SOL-utions tints all comply with European standards regarding road signals. They filter out blue light without distorting the perception of colour and the wearer won’ experience any loss of information of visual fatigue.
By filtering blue light, visual contrast is improved and visual acuity is increased.
