Eyeglasses for Photophobia

Many people have experienced eye sensitivity to light, which can be caused by various eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, pterygium, and so on. These days a common cause is from staring at phone screens or TV’s for too long, because staring at the light from the phone screen or computer screen for an extended period of time causes the eye muscles to work harder. This is called Photophobia which actually means ‘fear of light’ when in fact it’s a condition caused from being sensitive to light. Staring at a light in the dark, in particular will have the greatest impact on the eyes and younger in particular are seeing more cases of eye strain.

When someone has photophobia, the sun or bright indoor light can feel uncomfortable and even painful. Physical health factors such as insufficient rest, stress, migraines, or food choices can all have an impact and make the condition worse.

Wearing eyeglasses for photophobia can help avoid this issue and today we will introduce sunglass lenses that are suitable for people who are sensitive to sunlight. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Multicoat lenses are lenses that are coated with a multi-label substance that reduces reflections on the lens surface, making the image clearer than normal lenses. The benefits of Multicoat lenses are not just limited to crystal clear images, but also UV protection at 380-400 nm, which aids in cataract reduction. In addition, the lens is scratch resistant and simple to clean. The way to notice Multicoat lenses is that the reflected surface of the lenses has a green tinge.

Blueblock lenses are lenses that have a protective film on them that prevents blue light from entering. The wavelength range of blue light is 380-450 nanometers, which is as dangerous as UV radiation and directly affects the optic nerve cells, which can cause macular degeneration. Many people may be curious about the blue light sources that surround us. It is primarily the light from all electronic screens, whether they are TV screens, mobile phones, tablets, computers, and so on.

As for how to observe a Blueblock lens, it’s easy to see that the front of the lens reflects most of the blue color. However, there will be some new lenses that will not use anti-blue coating film, but will instead be used as a substance inserted into the lens at the time of formation. These lenses will not only not reflect blue light but will also block blue light.

Auto lens is one that can adjust the brightness of the light. When we are in the shade, the lens is clear like a normal lens, but when we are out in the sun, the lens adjusts the color to a dark color like sunglasses, allowing people with vision problems to wear sunglasses without the need for sunglasses.
Auto+Blueblock Lens Is the lens in number 2 and 3 combined to cut blue light and change color when out in the sun.
