InvisibleShield Partners with Healthe to Infuse Innovative Eyesafe Technology into Screen Protection Line-Up
August 30 2018 - 8:00AM
InvisibleShield®, a ZAGG Inc (NASDAQ:ZAGG) brand and the leading
global innovator in screen protection, today announced a strategic
partnership with Healthe®, a health protection-driven technology
company developing products devoted to filtering high-energy
visible (HEV) blue light from digital devices. The partnership will
allow InvisibleShield to infuse Healthe’s innovative Eyesafe®
technology into its screen protection solutions, safeguarding
consumers not only from a shattered screen, but the effects of
harmful HEV light as well.
The average American now spends more time in front of screens
than sleeping, at 11 hours per day, including three and a half
hours on a digital device, with smartphone usage accounting for 62
percent of that time1. These amounts of screen time may affect
vision health, leading to digital eye strain, dry and irritated
eyes and can impact sleep2. Healthe’s Eyesafe technology
selectively filters out portions of the HEV blue light spectrum
that are considered most harmful while still maintaining the
superior color performance of your device display.
“InvisibleShield is dedicated to keeping mobile devices safe
from the perils of daily use. Through our partnership with Healthe,
we’re able to take that promise of protection to the next level,”
said Chris Ahern, CEO for ZAGG. “As mobile devices continue to play
a central role in our lives, the effects of digital eye strain are
becoming more evident. We’re excited to leverage Eyesafe technology
to provide our customers with a solution that not only keeps their
screens intact, but also filters harmful blue light from their
devices.”
Healthe and the Eyesafe Vision Health Advisory Board are
comprised of leading eye care professionals across ophthalmology
and optometry focused on public health advocacy, industry research
and standards development. Healthe strives to deliver technology
that reduces eye exposure to HEV blue light.
“We are delighted to partner with InvisibleShield and continue
to educate consumers about the safety concerns of over exposure to
blue light,” said Justin Barrett, CEO of Healthe. “Our partnership
provides consumers around the world best-in-class screen protection
solutions that offer protection against blue light and provide the
benefits of InvisibleShield’s industry-leading technology.”
InvisibleShield also today announced the first new-to-market
screen protector developed with Healthe, Glass+ VisionGuard for the
iPhone X. The all-new screen protector features a protective
Eyesafe® technology layer that blocks harmful HEV blue light
associated with device displays. Glass+ VisionGuard defends against
harmful HEV blue light and promotes better eye health while
providing the powerful impact protection for which InvisibleShield
is known.
