Are Blue Cut Lenses Really Safe? Exposed By Lenstrack 

In this brutally honest episode of The Founder’s Dream – Business Podcast in Hindi, Vaibhav Dwivedi, founder of Lenstrack, shares the untold truths about the eyewear industry, family business legacies, and the dangers of blindly trusting blue light glasses.

A third-generation entrepreneur in optics, Vaibhav’s journey started when Titan Eye+ was just entering the market. While Lenskart came later, it was Lenstrack that carried forward his family’s vision – but with struggles that few know about.

Lenskart vs Lenstrack – What’s the Real Story?

Vaibhav reveals how Lenstrack existed before Lenskart. Despite this, he once received a legal notice from Lenskart. With no money to hire a lawyer, he resorted to googling for legal help while battling anxiety and self-doubt. This phase almost led him down the path of alcoholism until his mother’s words gave him the strength to fight back.

Do Blue Light Glasses Actually Work?

Blue cut lenses are marketed as essential for protecting eyes from screens. But Vaibhav shares shocking insights – some blue light glasses can actually harm memory, especially in children. While they protect from harsh screen light to an extent, overuse or poor-quality lenses can strain the brain and affect cognitive health.

Myths vs Reality – Who Really Needs Blue Light Glasses?

Do students really need blue light protection glasses? Vaibhav says yes, but only when prescribed by professionals after checking screen exposure habits. He warns that many brands overcharge for unnecessary lens coatings or sell substandard products with no real benefits.

Building a Family Business Without Outside Funding

As a third-generation entrepreneur, Vaibhav chose not to take external funding or sell Lenstrack. He believes staying independent preserves brand ethics and customer trust. Unlike brands that chase IPOs, Vaibhav focuses on slow, sustainable growth with minimal team and lean operations. Vaibhav openly talks about misusing early profits, facing burnout, and almost losing himself to alcoholism. What brought him back was his mother’s support and his vision to build Lenstrack with integrity.

Industry Scams & Hidden Dangers

From harmful lenses being marketed as blue cut to memory issues caused by certain coatings, Vaibhav exposes the dark side of the eyewear industry. He urges consumers to research well before buying any eye product, especially for children.

The Road Ahead for Lenstrack

Despite challenges, Vaibhav’s expansion plans are rooted in ethics. He believes in growing slowly and focusing on customer value rather than just profits. For him, a brand is built on trust, not marketing gimmicks.
