BPI FILTER VISION DESIGNED SPECTRUM TINTS BPI.® THE INVENTOR OF THE ORIGINAL BLUE LIGHT BLOCKING TINTS BPI®® Filter Vision™ Blue Barrier Therapeutic Tints were developed to Why blue light can be harmful to you provide maximum blue light protection. Blue light is the dominant component of skylight and a major cause of glare. Aging and a number of ocular X-RAYS ULTRAVIOLET VISIBLE NEAR IR MID IR FAR IR 1nm 3 µm 30 µm conditions can make eyes extremely sensitive to what is normally seen as moderate glare, and these same pathological conditions also increase the possibility of veiling glare caused by blue light scatter within the eye. 400nm 450nm 500nm 550nm 600nm 650nm 700nm 750nm (Energy per photon) = (Planck’s Constant) x (Speed of Light) (Wavelength) At 380nm, the energy per photon is 3.27eV At 760nm, the energy per photon is 1.63eV Blue light has almost twice the energy per photon as red light at the other end of the visible spectrum. This is the same energy that causes sunburn and cataracts. 5 Different Blue Light Blocking Therapeutic Tints If you want to reduce glare and relieve By reducing glare you usually improve 750nm discomfort for your patients, there is contrast and functional acuity. one simple thing you can do; filter out UV and blue light.

BPI® Diamond Dye 500/550™ can make any filter between a 500nm 450 500 540 550 600 400nm cut-off and a 550nm cut-off. The cut-off is simply determined by the amount of time the lens is left in the tinting solution. At 500nm the lens ® ® will be a bright orange color. At 550nm the lens will be orange red.

The Irlen technique is a 350 400 450 500 550 600 650 NM worldwide technique of assessing, fitting out and producing these lenses (which they refer to as Irlen Filters). Another technique being used by some specialists in the area of BPI® FL-41™ has been found by independent researchers to be ophthalmology (the study of visual-perception) is the color-imitor technique. Both of these techniques use tinted lenses, or filters, to filter out certain light frequencies in order to reduce beneficial when treating photophobia, blepharospasm and migraines by information overload through the eyes. Assessment for the correct tints within the Irlen blocking blue and green wavelengths. Method involves looking through tinted lenses (through which one may look at the page or around at the environment or faces) and may be a more precise method of assessing when a An extract from Neuro-Ophthalmology tint is effective.

By reducing visual overload the brain can better process for meaning what the eyes Preliminary research at the University of Utah suggests that specially tinted lens may help see. These lenses can also have a secondary effect of reducing hypersensitivity to bright light some people with photophobia.
