Note that they are offering a non yellow version which I assume is the non UV version. Many of these lenses are not available yet. especially the Clareon. 1. Acrysof Restor 2. AcrySof® IQ PanOptix® Trifocal (model TFNT00) 3. AcrySof® IQ PanOptix® UV Absorbing Trifocal (model TFAT00) 4. AcrySof® IQ VivityTM Extended Vision IOL (model DFT015) 5. AcrySof® IQ VivityTM Extended Vision UV Absorbing IOL (model DAT015) 6. Clareon® PanOptix® Trifocal Hydrophobic IOL (model CNWTT0) 7. Clareon® PanOptix® Trifocal UV Absorbing IOL (model CCWTT0) 8. Clareon® PanOptix® Trifocal Hydrophobic IOL with AutonoMe Automated Preloaded Delivery Device (model CNATT0)
I think you have to check the technical specifications for each lens model number to determine what it actually has for blue light filtering or UV filtering. With blue light filtering the lens is tinted yellow. To have UV protection the lens does not have to be tinted yellow. It would seem surprising that any manufacturer would offer a lens with no UV filtering as I think it is generally accepted that UV filtering provides some long term protection to the eyes.

Blue light filtering on the other hand is more controversial. It certainly provides a more close match to the colour spectrum of the natural eye, and may be more important to those who are doing serious hobby or commercial photography than the general user. One possible technical benefit is that it may provide a bit of a reduction in the chromatic aberration effect of higher refractive index lenses. Alcon claim that blue light filtering increases vision in poorer light situation, kind of like yellow tinted shooting glasses are claimed to do. Some also worry about blue light from computer monitors causing issues, although that also is controversial.
.
And I see that J&J now offer violet light filtering, possibly for chromatic aberration reduction. Or it may be an attempt to do essentially the same thing as Alcon with blue light filtering but do not want to call it that so they can differentiate themselves from Alcon…
those are alcon provided names. the acrysof panoptix in US was non yellow. the model numbers are TFNT and TFAT. one of them is non yellow US version.
not sure why they are specifically saying UV absorbing in the model name.
also they list Clareon PanOptix but not Clareon Vivity. this is from the US department of Health and Human Services.
