Coloured lenses have been shown to benefit those with headaches, migraine, dyslexia and photosensitive epilepsy.
We can supply you with your personally optimised coloured prescription lenses. I practice in the centre of Loughton in South East Essex.
Coloured Lenses - The Solution for Visual Stress
Scientific research has shown that a specific identifiable colour for each individual, worn as precision tinted lenses, will relieve the symptoms of Visual Stress and allow more fluent, efficient and comfortable reading.
Overlays may be used for screening prior to full testing.

The colour is selected following a full eye examination by assessment with an instrument called a Intuitive Colorimeter.
Each individual's optimum colour will be different. The Intuitive Colorimeter is a simple optical device that shines coloured light on a page of text and allows the user to vary the light with three controls. Once the best combination of tints has been determined the Colorimeter findings are introduced into a computer program to ascertain the precision tinted glasses for reading. Children tend to describe the resulting clarity as "magical".
For patients who are prescribed Precision Tinted lenses, the exact colour of tint that is required can, like any other optical prescription, change over time. Accordingly, we recommend testing with the Intuitive Colorimeter at yearly intervals.
