Medical filters for low vision and strong light: what they are and why to use them

🔍 What are medical filters

Medical filters are lenses designed to selectively filter light – especially UV, blue light and high-energy components – improving contrast, visual comfort and reducing glare.

They are useful for people with low vision or photosensitive or eye diseases, but also for those seeking relief from strong light or screens

👁 Who they are for

These medical lenses offer benefits to:

👴 Low vision (maculopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy. Pathologies already evaluated and supported by ophthalmologists.)

🌞 People with photophobia or sensitivity to bright light

💻 Users of LEDs and screens, where blue light causes visual stress

👨‍⚕️ People in the post-operative phase or who need continuous eye protection

👓 Those with normal vision but who want greater visual comfort

🔬 How they work

Selective blocking of harmful light (UV and blue): improves contrast and reduces glare

Reduction of glare: useful on reflective surfaces such as roads, glass and monitors

Retinal protection: reduces exposure to harmful radiation and promotes visual well-being

🏠 Where and when to use them

Not only outdoors, but also indoors:

In environments with strong lights, such as offices or shops

While working on the computer, with televisions or tablets

To maintain continuous visual comfort in low vision and reduce eye stress

✅ Why they are useful

They improve contrast, visual clarity and adaptation to light

Reduction of eye fatigue, burning and visual discomfort

Concrete support for those with degenerative diseases or constant photophobia
