Lenskart makes blue-light filtering lenses standard on eligible glasses in India
Lenskart made blue-light filtering lenses a standard feature on eligible glasses in India from 12 November, at no extra charge; the feature was previously a paid upgrade. The company positioned the change as an accessibility measure rather than a medical claim. It comes alongside a target of 100 million annual eyewear units in India, up from 32 million, and a plan to give free prescription glasses to one lakh children on 14 November.
