What is SCT-Blue? SCT stands for Spectrum Control Technology — Uvex's designation for their specific lens tint formulations. The SCT-Blue tint filters blue-spectrum light for glare reduction in bright outdoor conditions while maintaining enough color differentiation for work tasks.
Can these be worn indoors? The blue tint reduces visible light transmission — they are best suited for outdoor or bright-light environments rather than dim indoor conditions. Use the clear Genesis for indoor tasks.
