A transparent optical article with enhanced ultraviolet and blue light blocking ability comprising: a selective filter at least partially blocking blue light in a wavelength range chosen within the 400-460 nm range, wherein the selective filter is an absorbing dye selected from a porphine, a porphyrin, a porphyrin complex or derivative, having an absorption peak centered at a wavelength chosen within the 410-440 nm wavelength range and exhibiting a full width at half maximum lower than or equal to 40 nm, and a high-pass filter having its maximum cut in the UV light wavelength range and partially blocking blue light in the 400-500 nm range, wherein the high pass filter is a benzotriazole UV absorber, wherein the optical article blocks at least 66% of light with a wavelength less than or equal to about 410 nm, at each wavelength in the wavelength range 350-410 nm, the cooperative combination of said selective filter and said high-pass filter allows a good blue light protection and higher reduced retinal cell apoptosis, while keeping low yellow index and marginal decrease in transmittance, and: - either the optical article has a yellowness index YI lower than 6, YI being calculated per ASTM method E313 through the relation YI = (127.69 X - 105.92 Z)) / Y, where X, Y, and Z are the CIE tristimulus values, - or the optical article has a colorimetric coefficient b* as defined in the CIE L*a*b* international colorimetric system that is less than or equal to 5. a selective filter at least partially blocking blue light in a wavelength range chosen within the 400-460 nm range, wherein the selective filter is an absorbing dye selected from a porphine, a porphyrin, a porphyrin complex or derivative, having an absorption peak centered at a wavelength chosen within the 410-440 nm wavelength range and exhibiting a full width at half maximum lower than or equal to 40 nm, and a high-pass filter having its maximum cut in the UV light wavelength range and partially blocking blue light in the 400-500 nm range, wherein the high pass filter is a benzotriazole UV absorber, wherein the optical article blocks at least 66% of light with a wavelength less than or equal to about 410 nm, at each wavelength in the wavelength range 350-410 nm, the cooperative combination of said selective filter and said high-pass filter allows a good blue light protection and higher reduced retinal cell apoptosis, while keeping low yellow index and marginal decrease in transmittance, and: - either the optical article has a yellowness index YI lower than 6, YI being calculated per ASTM method E313 through the relation YI = (127.69 X - 105.92 Z)) / Y, where X, Y, and Z are the CIE tristimulus values, - or the optical article has a colorimetric coefficient b* as defined in the CIE L*a*b* international colorimetric system that is less than or equal to 5. - either the optical article has a yellowness index YI lower than 6, YI being calculated per ASTM method E313 through the relation YI = (127.69 X - 105.92 Z)) / Y, where X, Y, and Z are the CIE tristimulus values, - or the optical article has a colorimetric coefficient b* as defined in the CIE L*a*b* international colorimetric system that is less than or equal to 5. <EOS>
