LED PRO SCIENCE
The problem with LED light
From smartphones and screens to car headlights and overhead LEDs, modern life is full of artificial LED light. These LED sources emit concentrated peaks at 450 nm (blue light) and 590 nm (yellow-orange light).
Though narrow in range, these wavelengths are strongly linked to glare, reduced contrast, eye strain and fatigue. For glasses wearers especially, the impact can be distracting, uncomfortable and even unsafe.
Why traditional solutions fall short
Until now, clear ophthalmic lenses have never been designed to address the specific effects of LED light. Instead, most solutions rely on broad blue light filtering lenses, which block large sections of the visible spectrum. While these can reduce some discomfort, they often dim brightness, distort colour and reduce contrast, making everyday vision less sharp and less natural.
How LED PRO works
LED PRO takes a different approach: selective absorption.
It’s the world’s first patented clear lens specifically engineered to counter the disruptive effects of LED light.
Rather than blocking broad sections of the visible spectrum which can dull brightness and distort colour, LED PRO uses advanced dye technology to target the two LED peaks most responsible for glare and fatigue: 450 nm and 590 nm.
By concentrating the absorption of light at these narrow bands and allowing the surrounding wavelengths to pass through, LED PRO maintains a natural balance of brightness, contrast and colour. The result is sharper and more comfortable vision in any LED lit environment.
SMART SELECTIVE ABSORPTION: LED PRO selectively absorbs 450nm and 590nm wavelengths but allows other wavelengths through the lens

SCENARIOS
SMART SELECTIVE
ABSORPTION
Targets disruptive LED peaks, not the whole spectrum
LED PRO concentrates absorption at 450 nm and 590 nm: the two most disruptive LED wavelengths. This precision reduces glare and fatigue while keeping brightness and colour intact.
COMFORTABLE &
SHARPER VISION
Cuts through glare from screens, lights & headlights
By reducing harsh glare from all LED light sources, LED PRO helps wearers see more clearly in everyday life and drive with greater confidence after dark.
NATURAL COLOUR &
TRUE CONTRAST
True colour & accurate detail
Unlike broad blue light filtering lenses that can dull vision, LED PRO’s selective absorption preserves true colour and sharp contrast – so the world looks exactly as it is.
CLEAR EVERYDAY
LENS
Clear with a subtle tint that powers performance
LED PRO’s subtle green hue is a visible sign of its advanced filtering technology. With an anti-reflective coating, it looks almost clear on the face and is imperceptible by the wearer.
PROTECTS
EYES
Shields against UV, blue light & everyday strain
LED PRO blocks 100% of UV rays and selectively absorbs potentially harmful blue light, helping to protect eyes from light triggered discomfort during everyday LED exposure.

The absorption profile
This graph shows the spectral performance of LED PRO.
The green line represents typical LED emissions, which concentrate at 450 nm and 590 nm – the wavelengths that contribute to visual discomfort and compromised vision.
The purple area shows LED PRO’s selective absorption, targeting these exact peaks while allowing surrounding wavelengths to pass through. The result is reduced glare and fatigue without sacrificing natural colour perception.
