    Wavelength bands and what the lens does across each one. Every batch is checked on a spectrophotometer before it ships.

    Comparison

    Why not just any blue-light coating?

    Compare the mechanism before you choose. A coating reflects a little blue; a wavelength-selective lens absorbs a defined band and publishes the measurement.

    Before you decide

    Fit, tint and prescription.

    The fitWill this frame fit me?

    Look on the inside of the arm of a pair you already wear. You will find three numbers, usually printed as 52–18–145. They are, in order, the lens width, the bridge width and the arm length — all in millimetres. Match those to the frame below and the fit will be close.

    Lens widthBridgeArm length
    54-18-145135mm39mm

    If your numbers are within about 2 mm of the frame, it will sit correctly. A narrower face suits a smaller lens width; a wider face suits a longer arm.

    The lensAmber or Red — which one?

    Amber is the all-day lens. Luminous transmittance around 50%, Filter Category 1, safe indoors and outdoors. It removes the blue band and part of the green band while leaving enough light through to read, cook and work. Wear it from late afternoon onwards.

    Red is the night lens. Zero measured transmission from 380 to 560 nm, Filter Category 3, indoor use only. This is the one to put on two to three hours before bed, when the aim is to remove the circadian signal completely rather than reduce it.

    Most people who use both wear Amber in the evening and switch to Red in the last hours before sleep. That is the reason the second-pair pairing exists.

    The lensPrescription and lens index

    Choose Prescription Lens and we cut the tint into a lens made to your power in our own lab. After checkout you will receive an email asking for your prescription and pupillary distance — you can also reply with a photograph of the prescription.

    Clean the lens with the supplied microfibre cloth only. Tinted lenses are absorptive through the full thickness of the material, so surface scratches do not change the transmission curve — but they do scatter light, which is worth avoiding.

    Sterling Jet Black

    Office-plain from the front, unusually deep once you look at the numbers.

    Sterling puts a 39 mm lens height on a 135 mm front, and that pairing is rarer than it sounds. Most frames that go deep also go wide, which is exactly what makes them awkward in a meeting. Here the outline stays narrow and formal, square corners and a level brow, while the lens still reaches well below the pupil. The result is a frame that covers the screen in front of you without extending past your temples. Measurements are 54-18-145; the 18 mm bridge is generous for a front this narrow and stops the frame gripping.

    Two tints, two jobs

    Two tints for one working day

    FL-41 LightScreens, from morning onIndoor wear, all day. Higher overall transmittance than the dark lens with an identical rose-band notch, so the filtering character does not change, only how much light comes through. The complete spectrophotometer report is being finalized for publication here. UV400.
    FL-41 DarkGlare-heavy conditionsNumbers first: 7.9% at 420 nm, 13.8% at 450 nm, 12.6% at 520 nm, 44.2% at 570 nm, 100% above 670 nm. That shape is a notch, not a wall. Luminous transmittance 41.1%, Filter Category 2, 100% UV400.

    All figures are single-lens spectrophotometer measurements from our own laboratory reports for this lens, tested to EN ISO 12312-1, ANSI Z80.3 and AS/NZS 1067.1. Individual response varies.

    Fit

    Will the Sterling fit you?

    At 135 mm the front is medium, so Sterling suits an average temple width rather than a broad one. The 18 mm bridge is generous for that width, which keeps pressure off the sides of the nose. The 39 mm lens height is deep for a medium frame: good coverage below the pupil, but the rim sits closer to the cheek on a short face. Temples are 145 mm. If you are between sizes, the wider Regent is the next step up.

    Shipping. Delivered in 6–8 days within the United States and 8–12 days internationally. Duties and taxes are calculated at checkout. Every order ships from our own optical laboratory.

    Prescription orders. If you selected a prescription lens, our optometry team emails you after checkout to confirm your power and pupillary distance. Lenses are not cut until that confirmation, so a prescription order takes a few days longer than a zero-power one.

    Returns. Return within 45 days of delivery. Frames must be unworn and in the original case with the cloth and packaging.

    Warranty. One-year frame warranty and a six-month lens warranty covering manufacturing defects. Accidental damage and normal wear are not covered.

    Lens care. Clean only with the supplied microfibre cloth. Our tints are absorptive through the full thickness of the lens material, so surface scratches do not change the transmission curve — but they do scatter light, which is worth avoiding. Do not use paper tissue, alcohol wipes or household cleaners.

    Standards. Every lens carries 100% UV protection (UV400) and is tested against EN ISO 12312-1, ANSI Z80.3 and AS/NZS 1067.1. Spectrophotometer reports for each lens family are published on our research page.
