1. An ophthalmic system comprising:
- an ophthalmic lens selected from the group consisting of a spectacle lens, contact lens, intra-ocular lens, corneal inlay, corneal onlay, corneal graft, and corneal tissue, anda selective light wavelength filter that blocks 5-50% of light having a wavelength in the range of 400-460 nm and transmits at least 80% of light having a wavelength in the range of 460-700 nm;
wherein the system exhibits a yellowness index of no more than 15.
