Eyeglass lens material and eyeglass lens capable of blocking blue light and method for making the same
An eyeglass lens material can be used to make an eyeglass lens and at least includes a mixture of Ag/SiO.sub.x composite nanoparticles and at least one type of monomer. The eyeglass lens is capable of blocking blue light. The monomer undergoes a material curing procedure to form a main body that contains and is mixed with the Ag/SiO.sub.x composite nanoparticles.
