MacRumors Giveaway: Win an iPhone 15 and Blue Light Screen Protector From Ocushield

[NorCalLights]

Hey @cocky jeremy 👋 Ocushield screen protectors do not give off a yellow'ish tint to the screen. They have been designed to allow you to see all of the true colours your screen intends to show, all while protecting from harmful blue light!

How is that possible? If you're blocking "54%" of blue light in the 400 to 470nm range, which is in the visible range of the human eye, how are you doing that without changing the color of the image?

The only way to do that would be to block the same 54% of the entire visible spectrum, and therefore make the screen 54% less bright.

Please do provide us with research papers that show iPhone screens produce enough "harmful blue light" to cause an increase of eye issues such as age related macular degeneration.

And please provide us with research papers that show that there's a difference between "harmful" blue light and "natural blue light from the sun".

I only want to absorb organically emitted natural light from ethically and sustainable sources!

I did some additional research. At a minimum, this company is illegally using FDA registration.

"Firms that misleadingly display certificates alongside information about and photos of a device for sale in the United States to imply review or approval by FDA of the device misbrand the device in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act."

This calls into question MacRumors journalistic integrity in supporting a company like this.

Hey @NorCalLights, Dhruvin here, founder of Ocushield!

I understand where the confusion might come from, our screen protectors are engineered with a specific goal: to reduce exposure to harmful blue light without altering the colour accuracy of your device’s display.

The technology behind them targets only the blue light wavelengths between 400 and 460nm, which are the most detrimental to our eyes, and filters them out.

This selective filtration is key. It’s not about blocking a flat percentage of all visible light, but rather, about being smart in what we filter. By focusing on the harmful range, our filters manage to maintain the vibrancy and brightness of your screen. Similarly to how polarised lenses in sunglasses block harmful UV rays without compromising visibility.

This allows the screen protector to do its job effectively without dimming your screen or skewing the colours you expect to see.

In essence, Ocushield provides a protective barrier against blue light that’s both effective and unobtrusive, ensuring that your digital experience remains safe and as designed by the manufacturer—bright, colourful, and clear. I hope this helps!

I read @PolkaGuy6000’s concern as it wasn’t that your registration (i.e. you provided your name and address to the FDA), was legitimate or not, it’s that you’re over-puffing what the FDA registration means. After all you’re advertising that you’re blocking UV light from the iPhone, which is at worst misleading and at best unhelpful.

And I think it is safe to assume these screen protectors contain chemicals in the family and similar in function to PFAS?

Also anyone want to bet @DhruvinPatel is going to trademark “harmful blue light”?

I'm not saying it didn't happen, but it has no meaning. FDA specifically warns against people like you:

Great news! I've submitted my registration. I don't make any products or have any experience in the healtcare industry, but soon you and I will be on the same footing!

While I don't think anything you said was an all-out lie, it's misleading and deceptive. You are eroding trust in the medical community and making me not trust optometrists. Maybe I should delay that annual eye exam.
