Tints & Filters
When it comes to low vision, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), epilepsy and other optical conditions, Grey 2 & Yellow 3 just aren’t specific enough. You spend a lot of time selecting just the right color for your patient – you want to know that when you order that lens from your lab, the lab provides that same amount of care and precision in making your specialty lenses.
That’s where we come in. Over the last two decades, we’ve developed a process that combines cutting-edge technology with unparalleled optical expertise.
The result? Precisely tinted lenses that help patients with vision problems see better, function better and feel better.
We also offer the latest in multi-band precision optical filter technology; a technology used by companies such as Avulux and EnChroma that pin-points light wavelengths using a notch filter rather than a colored tint.
Our Tinting Process
We’re not going to give away the whole recipe to our secret sauce, but we’re happy to give you a taste. Our process combines the science of tinting technology with the art of achieving just the right color for your patient.
We understand the factors that impact lens tinting (like lens material and coating), but we also know sometimes it takes more than a few calculations to achieve the desired effect. We actively find ways to apply a little creative elbow grease to make sure our lenses effectively and accurately address your patient’s vision problems.
Our Tint Library
Chadwick has been doing custom tints for over 20 years. In house, we have a huge library of colors from NOIR Medical, Corning, Eschenbach, Cocoons, and some popular new tints for TBIs (concussion glasses), migraines (migraine glasses), photosensitive epilepsy (epilepsy glasses), low vision and more. We’ll work with you to find the best solutions to solve your patients’ vision problems.
If we have the color in our library, you won’t need to part with your lens samples.
Avulux Lenses
Aside from our precision tints, we offer the Avulux lens which uses patented technology to target the light wavelengths associated with migraines.
