PROTECTIVE LENSES
While these light sources are unavoidable
in today's workplace and home
environments, Drs. Tolentino and
Deupree recommend
cost effective external
protection in the

filtering lenses. The
only lenses that adequately
protect the
macula are TrueBlue
lenses, a patented
lens infused with
biologic pigments
(melanin and ocular
lens pigment). These
pigments are nature's

defenses against harmful violet
and blue lights.
While many manufacturers claim
their lenses offer “blue light protection,”
the spectrometric analysis of
blue light filtration proves TrueBlue
superiority across the entire blue light
spectrum, with exceptional filtration at
445 nm as can be seen in comparative
spectrometry. TrueBlue MPFTM lenses
also outperform

True Blue lens technology
verifiably
protects the retina
against the full
spectrum of blue
light and outperforms
all other technologies, especially
as it relates to the truly harmful 445
nm blue light. This is why Drs. Tolentino
and Deupree only recommend
True Blue Sun and indoor lenses to all
their patients and colleagues.

In winter, the U.S. tilts away from the sun & the atmosphere blocks some
of the sun’s rays, but harmful UV rays are present year-round, and they can
filter through dark clouds to reach your skin. If you're outside, you're at risk
for skin cancer; don't leave your sunscreen in the drawer!
