Patients want more than clear vision—they want comfort, eye protection, and something that feels premium without breaking the bank. That’s why more and more opticians are switching to TKR Optics’ Rising Sun Blue Shield lenses.
Here’s why these lenses are earning a place in dispensing tables across the Philippines.
What Is Blue Shield, Exactly?
Rising Sun Blue Shield is a high-quality blue light coating applied to stock lenses. It blocks a significant portion of blue-violet light emitted by screens and artificial lighting—while still allowing natural blue light that regulates circadian rhythm to pass through.
Compared to standard lenses, Rising Sun Blue Shield offers:
Enhanced blue light filtering (20–30% range in 420–455nm spectrum)
Harder scratch-resistant coating
Clearer appearance with minimal blue/purple residual color
Better smudge and water resistance
It’s a simple upgrade, but it makes a real difference.
Why It’s Popular With Opticians
Opticians often deal with the gap between what patients ask for and what they need. Rising Sun Blue Shield closes that gap. Here’s what professionals like about it:
1. Easy to Recommend - It’s ideal for screen users, students, call center agents, or anyone who stares at a screen for hours. The pitch is simple: less glare, less strain, and more comfort.
2. High Patient Satisfaction - Many patients come back saying they feel less tired or strained after work. That satisfaction builds trust—and referrals.
3. Reliable Stocking - TKR Optics provides steady availability of Rising Sun Blue Shield across common powers, so you’re less likely to run into delays when ordering.
4. Competitive Margins - It’s priced accessibly, but with enough room to give your practice a decent markup.
How It Compares to Other Blue Light Lenses
Let’s look at how HMC+ Blue stacks up next to other common coatings:
Feature | Standard Multicoated Lens | Basic Blue Cut Lens (coating only) | HMC+ Blue (Rising Sun) |
Blue Light Filter | ✘ | ✓ (10–15%) | ✓✓ (20–30%) |
Scratch Resistance | ✓ | ✓ | ✓✓✓ |
Residual Tint | Minimal green | Yellow | Blue or Green |
Price Point | Low | Medium | Medium |
Overall Comfort | ✓ | ✓ | ✓✓✓ |
Patients will often ask, “Is it worth the upgrade?” For heavy screen users, the answer is almost always yes.
How to Position It in Your Practice
When you introduce lenses during consultation, don’t just talk about index or brand. Bring the conversation to daily use.
Ask things like:
“Do you spend a lot of time on the computer?”
“Do your eyes ever feel tired after work?”
“Do you wear your glasses indoors most of the day?”
Once they say yes, introduce Rising Sun Blue Shield lenses as the option built for their routine.
A Reliable Option in an Unpredictable Market
One big reason opticians stick with TKR Optics’ Rising Sun lenses is consistency. Blue Shield performs well across different prescriptions and frame styles. It’s reliable—and when you're running a busy practice, that consistency saves you time and headaches.
Final Thought
There are dozens of blue light coatings in the market, but very few combine quality, comfort, and cost-efficiency like Rising Sun Blue Shield lenses from TKR Optics. If you’re looking for a lens you can confidently recommend to 80% of your patients, this is the one to keep stocked.
