Blue light filtering reduces risk of Glaucoma
New research by Hecht et al. 2023, looked at over 11,000 patients, half with Blue light filtering IOLs and half with clear UV-only filtering IOLs. Those with blue light protection saw a 22% reduced chance of d…https://t.co/TFNRYKSm2l

Blue light filtering lenses don’t all offer the same level of protection

Over the years I have measured blue light filtering lenses from many manufacturers and have found that they vary greatly in their spectral transmission (the amount of light of diffe…https://t.co/QwNGcCFaJ5

Meet my dog Sam...he doesn't like walks...just like some people don't like eating greens, giving up smoking, watching their weight or wearing sunglasses. But these things, help reduce AMD risk and the MP-eye can help convince patients to look after their eyes.

[Azul Optics @AzulOptics]

Blue light contributes to AMD: our knowledge of the underlying mechanisms has been advanced by new research.

Li, Zhu and Qi 2023 have published finding of their research that shows in more detail part of the mechanism that enables short wavelength violet…https://t.co/6tfuwXGkiD

Identifying who needs extra protection, like sunglasses, photochromics, blue filtering lenses and macular pigment supplements, just got a whole lot easier with the MP-eye.
