Understanding Light Sensitivity, Contrast Sensitivity & Hue Filters

What is Light Sensitivity?

Light sensitivity, also known as photophobia, refers to discomfort or pain in the eyes when exposed to bright light sources, whether natural or artificial. It can cause temporary vision loss, eye strain, and headaches.

What is Contrast Sensitivity?

Contrast sensitivity is the ability to distinguish objects from their background based on differences in brightness or color. Reduced contrast sensitivity can make it difficult to read, navigate in low-light environments, or distinguish between similar colors and patterns.

Hue Filters for Enhanced Vision

F480nm Hue Filter

This filter blocks blue light and enhances contrast, reducing glare and visual discomfort in high-glare environments.

Ideal for: Mild light sensitivity and severe contrast sensitivity deficiency.

Conditions: Glaucoma, post-cataract surgery, neurodiversity, albinism, mild photophobia.

F500nm Hue Filter

Enhances contrast, reduces light sensitivity, and improves visual clarity, making it ideal for those with moderate vision challenges.

Ideal for: Moderate light sensitivity and contrast sensitivity deficiency.

Conditions: Diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, low vision, computer vision syndrome.

F560nm Hue Filter

Blocks short-wavelength light that triggers sensitivity, providing exceptional relief in bright light conditions.

Ideal for: Severe light sensitivity and mild contrast sensitivity deficiency.

Conditions: Retinitis pigmentosa, migraine, severe photophobia.

F660nm Hue Filter

Designed for outdoor use, this sunglass lens option reduces glare, enhances contrast, and provides comfort in bright environments.

Ideal for: Light sensitivity and contrast sensitivity deficiency.
