 Diabetes
sufferers and long term, diabetics may develop new vessels in the
retina (diabetic retinopathy), which, with a tendency to leak, can
lead to visual impairment.
Blue light entering the eye is poorly absorbed by the damaged retina
and consequently scatters internally, causing glare and visual haze.
| What
Can Medi-View Filters do to Help? |
A
special combination of blue-bloc and high contrast pigments is used
to create Medi-View filters.
For people with diabetic retinopathy, the complete elimination of
high frequency blue light waves, stops the excessive glare &
haze, while the addition of a high contrast pigment often significantly
increases colour definition and contrast.
How?
Medi-View
filters exceed the recommendations made by Retina International
& block 100% UVA/UVB and all blue light
| What
makes Medi-View filters better than regular sunglasses or photochromics? |
Regular tinted
sunglasses and photochromic lenses:
• do not eliminate blue light or therefore the cause of glare
for those with degenerative retinal disorders.
• reduce the transmission of all light waves across the spectrum
succeeding in making things simply ‘too dark’ while
still allowing through light that is problematic
