Lenses with chromatic filters are specially tinted or coated lenses designed to filter specific wavelengths of light to improve comfort when certain lighting can trigger visual symptoms.
What Are Chromatic Filter Lenses?
These lenses are engineered to selectively filter out certain wavelengths of light, especially those in the blue and amber spectrum, which are known to trigger or exacerbate symptoms like headaches, visual discomfort, and sensory overload.
They don’t just dim the environment—they modulate light in a targeted way based on neuroscience and visual processing research. They help manage light sensitivity (photophobia) and symptoms related to neurological conditions, such as:
- Migraine
- Concussion / Post-concussion Syndrome (PCS)
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Epilepsy
- Autism spectrum disorders
- Visual snow syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
🧠 How They Help:
- Reduce photophobia (light sensitivity)
- Prevent migraine attacks or reduce their severity
- Ease visual overstimulation after concussion or brain injury
- Improve focus and comfort in bright or flickering environments (like screens or fluorescent lights)
- Help regulate circadian rhythm by filtering disruptive blue light
