About Ocushield

Ocushield is a London eye-care brand that makes blue-light filtering screen protectors and glasses. Optometrist Dhruvin Patel started it from a university dissertation and research project, and Ocushield Ltd was incorporated in July 2014 (Companies House 09156030). According to its about page, the company is a certified B Corp and received a King's Award for Enterprise in 2023, and it has appeared on BBC One's Dragons' Den.

What Ocushield sells

• Tempered-glass anti-blue-light screen protectors for iPhone, Samsung and iPad, privacy versions and MagSafe cases
• Blue-light filters for MacBook, iMac, laptop and monitor screens and the Nintendo Switch
• Blue-light glasses with clear lenses for daytime, amber lenses for evenings and frames for children
• Ocubulb light bulbs, the Oculamp desk lamp and a bamboo weighted eye mask
• Eye-care extras such as Hycosan eye drops, Optase eye spray, an eye supplement and a screen and lens cleaner

The company says its phone and tablet protectors filter as much as 99% of UV and blue light between 300 and 400nm and as much as 54% between 400 and 470nm, without the orange tint of night modes. Its FAQ gives a protector a working life of about two years, and laptop filters are plastic, so they can be trimmed to fit. For every order from outside the UK, Ocushield donates $1 or £1 to the eye-care charity Orbis.

Delivery and returns

UK delivery costs £2.99 and takes two days on average, or four at most, from UK fulfilment centres, and orders over £60 ship free. US orders cost $5.00, and US and Canadian parcels leave from fulfilment centres in the USA, while most other countries are served from the UK within about 15 days. Express and next-day services are also available.

Ocushield's refund policy promises a 100-day money-back guarantee: customers email customerservice@ocushield.com, and the refund is processed within two days of the return arriving. Original shipping is refunded but return postage is the customer's cost, and prescription glasses, which are made to order, are excluded.
