Have a patient who could benefit from medical filters for their traumatic brain injury? With Chadwick Optical’s fitovers, your patient can access the best of both worlds: relief from their condition in a convenient, removable solution.

We’ve made it super easy to access ready-made fitovers through our e-commerce site. Click here to see our product selection or read on for more info on the tints we offer for TBIs.

Overview of Chadwick's Available Filter Colors for TBIs

Developed in conjunction with Dr. Carl Garbus, former president of the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association (NORA), our selection of filters includes popular colors from Veteran’s Affairs Polytrauma Centers as well as filters recommended by NORA.

Our lens color options include tints in the Green/Blue, Blue, Plum, and Rose families. Below, we’ve portrayed TBI tint options in a few ways to give you an idea of how each color looks without having the benefit of your patient’s presence in our lab.

If you want to give these colors a test run in person, contact us about flipper kits and other amazing ways for your patients to take a gander at lens colors in person.

Our rose tints are closest spectrographically to TheraSpecs’ interpretation of Fl-41.

Chadwick's E-Blue Tint

Large-scale anecdotal evidence based on Chadwick’s experience tinting 10,000s of e-blue shades suggests these tints are highly suited for relief from migraine, concussion, brain injury symptoms.

We’ve found e-blues to be especially popular with Veteran Affair TBI centers and have worked closely with VA doctors to confirm their efficacy in minimizing patient symptoms.

Chadwick's TBI Tint Color Slider

Patients and doctors have found the following photographic approximation of each TBI tint color to be helpful in determining which shade to select. While we think this is a super slick tool, it’s not meant to replicate or replace the in-office tint-testing experience.

Why Fitovers?

Fitovers are a convenient option for patients who use prescription glasses but don’t need to wear a medical tint full-time. Fitover options may be right for your patients if they:

  • Want polytrauma/TBI lenses as fast as possible
  • Wear multiple pairs of glasses and need a solution that works with all frames
  • Prefer fitovers to clip-ons
  • Need the most affordable option
  • Can’t or don’t want to send their frames into Chadwick for clip-ons to be made
