Glare control lenses, as supplied by Low Vision Supplies of Billingham Cleveland, have recently been introduced in to the UK. The Special Glare Control Lenses are Photochromic lenses with a special blue filter for sensitive eyes, and were developed by Lens Manufacturer Corning.

There is a range of six different lens filters from CPF 450 to CPF 550 (Corning Photochromic Filter) including the “sunglass Look”. The number refers to the cut of point of the filter (i.e. 450nm cuts out the range of light at 450 NM) The lenses use corning Photochromic filter technology to maximize vision and eye comfort for indoor and outdoor use. The lenses can also be used for sufferers with associated eye conditions such as macular degeneration, macular dystrophy, retinitus pigmentosa, and even lens opacities.
