SPECIALTY LENS TINTS

Contrast-Enhancing and Glare-Reducing Lenses

Our principal lens supplier, Tokai Optical, manufactures its lenses entirely in its state-of-the-art facility in Japan. Their advanced absorptive lens technologies are designed to:

• Reduce uncomfortable glare
• Enhance contrast and visual clarity
• Improve comfort in bright outdoor conditions
• Reduce eye strain during prolonged screen use
• Provide more relaxed vision for driving
• Support clearer vision in challenging lighting environments
• Assist with photosensitivity including for people with migraine.

Migraine Tints

For patients who experience light sensitivity associated with migraines, specialised migraine tints can provide significant relief. These lenses are designed to filter specific wavelengths of light that may contribute to visual discomfort, while still maintaining clear, comfortable vision for everyday activities.
We regularly work with patients who have been referred by neurologists, ophthalmologists, general practitioners and other healthcare professionals for migraine tint assessment and dispensing. Many of our patients report meaningful improvements in comfort, reduced sensitivity to bright light and greater confidence in daily activities such as working, shopping, driving and spending time outdoors.

While tinted lenses are not a cure for migraines, they can form an important part of a broader management plan for suitable patients.

Custom Tints for Your Lifestyle

In addition to therapeutic and performance-focused tints, we offer a wide range of custom fashion tints in different colours and densities. These can be tailored for:

• Outdoor activities
• Driving
• Sports and recreation
• Digital device use
• Everyday comfort

Personal Tint preferences

At Tracton Optometrists we take the time to let our patients select their tints after being offered a range of suitable options. Each patient may prefer a different tint depending on their personal ocular health and perceptions. Patients can experience the benefit and chose the tint before ordering their lenses.

Patient who can benefit from speciality lens tints and contrast enhancing absorptive lenses

Glare sensitivity and reduced contras can result from a number of ocular conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, eye injuries and age-related macular degeneration. Patients with migraines or significant photophobia may also report that bright light, glare or flickering illumination worsens their symptoms. All of these patients could potentially benefit from speciality lens tints.

Premium Lens Technology

Speciality tints can be combined with premium lens materials and coatings, including:

• High-index lenses for thinner, lighter glasses
• Anti-reflective coatings
• Scratch-resistant coatings
• UV protection
• Photochromic (light-reactive) options

This allows us to create a fully customised pair of glasses that not only addresses light sensitivity and glare, but also provides excellent optical quality and everyday durability.
