ProBlu eyewear line

Bollé Safety, a leading manufacturer of safety glasses and goggles, has launched ProBlu, a line of protective eyewear made from advanced blue blocker lens technology, PrB 420, aimed at preventing vision damage from harmful blue light. The usage of digital devices with LED technologies has increased and with this usage comes increased exposure to blue light, which is emitted by LED screens at higher levels than naturally emitted by the sun. This has become a growing concern for health, with exposure to blue light linked to eye strain, long-term retina damage, as well as negative impacts on physical and mental wellbeing. To combat exposure to blue light and reduce the risk of these health concerns, the ProBlu line currently consists of 19 different pairs of protective glasses for different types of wearers.

This range was developed with advanced and embedded blue blocker lens technology, ProBlu 420 and ProBlu 445, using polycarbonate lenses to allow for the dispersed pigments to block blue light up to 445 nanometres (nm). Combined with the blue anti-reflective coating applied to the inside of the lens, the ProBlu 420 product range absorbs 100% of the harmful blue light up to 420 nm, making wearers’ eyes feel more comfortable and less strained. As screen time is a part of everyone’s daily routines, ProBlu by Bollé Safety offers products for both the wearer’s professional and personal lives.

Designed for those in more industrial work environments, these glasses combine protection and performance, fully compliant with international safety standards to protect wearers’ vision from blue light as well as other hazards in their work environments. Those at worksites including research laboratories, automotive plants and construction sites, as well as oil, gas, mining and power facilities, face blue light from a variety of sources, so these glasses are designed with advanced blue blocker lens technology to maintain high levels of productivity at work.

The range also features glasses designed for those who sit in front of screens all day. The ProBlu Screeners’ glasses come in a variety of sophisticated styles, from retro and timeless to bold and modern, while still offering blue light protection and made with the same anti-glare and scratch-resistant innovations found on all Bollé Safety products. The Wellington and London models are also available as reading glasses ranging from +1 to +3.

The full range of ProBlu products is available at select worldwide retailers and online.
