Product: EnChroma Lx Lens Technology
Top Line: EnChroma, Inc. is debuting EnChroma Lx Lens Technology, a new lens series and eyewear designed for low vision and people 50 and over with glare sensitivity, to address a rapidly growing category of visual challenges worldwide. Leveraging more than 10 years of industry-leading color blind lens innovation, EnChroma Lx Technology is specially engineered to support functional vision by reducing the disabling effects of glare, while improving contrast and enhancing color vision over multiple lighting conditions. People with conditions such as cataracts, corneal damage, optic neuropathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma and other visual disorders associated with glare sensitivity and reduced color vision may also benefit from wearing EnChroma Lx glasses.
Close Up: The four lenses in the EnChroma Lx Series address an individual’s combined need to better manage glare, contrast, and color and make selecting the right lens simple and quick. All of the lenses are blue light filtering to reduce digital eye strain and offer 100 percent UV protection. The lens series includes four categories of lenses: Category 1 Light Amber (80 percent transmission) for low-light, screen and night-time use, Category 2 Copper for indoor/outdoor use, (36 percent), Category 3 Chestnut (12 percent) for outdoor use and stronger glare reduction, and an ultra-dark Category 4 Deep Chestnut (3 percent) for extreme glare management and special vision conditions.
To develop the lenses, EnChroma worked with low vision optometrists and patients with rare but serious eye conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa.
Vital Stats: The EnChroma Lx Series is available at enchroma.com and through select EnChroma authorized retailers worldwide. Non-prescription glasses range in price from $279 to $429 with prescription glasses costing slightly more.
