Healthe Introduces New HEV Blue Light Screen Covers

June 15, 2016

Healthe LLC, a Minneapolis-based company, is introducing Eyesafe, a new generation of high-energy visible (HEV) blue light screen covers for use on digital devices. The company has developed a proprietary, emission-reducing film comprised of polymers and light absorptive dyes which filter blue light transmission between the 380nm to 500nm with a particular emphasis on 420 to 460nm, the most harmful range.

Embedded within the Eyesafe products are custom combinations of light absorptive dyes including UV/IR and visible dyes allowing for specific wavelength transmissions. A durable, thin and pliable polymer protects digital screens from scratches and may be easily applied on and off. The film and lens technology can be applied directly to the screens of digital devices, or embedded directly within glass layers.

Other applications for the technology include lenses, computer monitors and contact lenses.

Eyesafe is branded for three unique versions: RPF15, RPF30 and RPF60. RPF stands for Retinal Protection Factor and the options cover 15 percent, 30 percent and 60 percent filtering of blue light. For the optical community, the RPF60 provides the maximum protection filtering out 60 percent of blue light within the 420 to 460nm spectrum.

Eyecare professionals can obtain the RPF60 product by contacting Healthe at www.eyesafe.com or by calling (844) 439-3723. The web site features information on HEV blue light exposure, as well as industry research and information on eyecare professionals who carry the Eyesafe product.

Healthe has developed a clinical kit, which includes the product, along with a display to present it to patients. The kit is compact and holds up to 45 phone and tablet covers. There is also an option for clinics that choose not to hold product, but still wish to recommend a solution to their patients through an e-commerce online system for ordering and delivery.

Patients can utilize their Health Savings Account cards to pay for Eyesafe products.
