How Lens Base Color Affects Blue Light Blocking Effectiveness

There are two types of anti-blue light glasses: base absorbing and film reflecting. In addition to adding an anti-blue light factor to the lenses, some of the base absorbing types of blue light glasses also add a base color to the lenses, such as yellow.

According to the basic principle of the color ring, different degrees of yellow can absorb blue light, including jade yellow, amber, orange anti-blue light lenses. However, there are significant differences in the effectiveness of different shades of yellow in absorbing blue light. The following are the anti-blue light effects of different yellow lenses:
