Today, with the development of the technological age, the human body has increased exposure
to blue light from devices such as tablets, light emitting diodes, smartphones, and laptops. Blue light, which
is located between the 380 and 495 nm wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, has high energy and
has a visible wave characteristic. When exposed to blue light too much, many eye problems and irreversible
vision loss are inevitable. In addition, its harmful effects on the brain and circadian rhythm have been
studied extensively recently. For this reason, studies on the biosafety of blue light and blue light protection
technology are increasing day by day. In our study, green and blue filter glasses that filter the blue light
region were analyzed. In addition, as the diopter value changes, the change in the spectrum and blue light
filters were also examined. While the transmittance of zero diopter glass at 550 nm is 92.52%, the light
transmittance of minus one diopter glass is 91.25%, and the light transmittance of minus two diopter glass
is 89.13%. It has been observed that zero diopter glass transmits a lot of blue light (380-495nm). It is
observed that green coated glasses do not transmit blue light in the wavelength range of 300-407nm and
partially filter blue light in the wavelength range of 407-435nm. It is observed that blue light filter glasses
absorb light in the range of 300-407nm and do not transmit it to the eye. It is observed that some of the blue
light is transmitted to a certain extent after the wavelength of 407nm. This multidisciplinary study, which
is related to optics and physics, is very important in terms of raising awareness and informing people and
is thought to make a significant contribution to the literature.
