In some people, strong sensitivity to light can cause significant visual discomfort, along with eye strain, glare or headaches. This sensitivity is often heightened by certain short wavelengths, particularly in the blue light spectrum.
Wavelengths below 500 nm, and more specifically around 484 nm, are known to be particularly uncomfortable for people who are sensitive to light. Prolonged exposure can disrupt visual perception, increase light stress and worsen everyday discomfort.
The Magelis Classic tint works by filtering harmful blue light while reducing excessive light transmission. It thus helps limit visual stress, soften light flashes and improve comfort in cases of photophobia.
The Magelis Akebi tint, for its part, combines blue light filtering, UV protection and enhanced contrast. Its targeted action around 484 nm effectively reduces the most troublesome light peaks and provides greater visual comfort in brightly lit environments.
By precisely filtering the right wavelengths, these lenses help better regulate light perception and support the wearer's visual well-being.
Magelis Classic (FL-41): the benchmark against light hypersensitivity
Glare is not just a minor discomfort. For many people, it is a disabling condition that can last several days and be accompanied by nausea and complete intolerance to light.
The visual factor: a key trigger
The visual system is often the gateway to an attack. This is where the Magelis Classic tint, based on the long-established FL-41 technology, comes in as a background solution proven for more than 30 years.
A comprehensive, soothing action
Unlike protection designed specifically for screens, the Magelis Classic tint offers a broad, comforting action across your entire environment:
-
Neurological regulation: by filtering the entire harsh visual spectrum, it calms hyperexcitability of the visual cortex.
-
Reduced light stress: it limits overall light transmission, which causes nervous fatigue and additional stress.
-
Cocooning comfort: its pink-amber tint softens flashes and harsh contrasts for immediate relief
Magelis Classic
The Magelis Classic filter is the ideal solution for people who suffer from chronic sensitivity in every part of daily life (shops, offices, neon lighting). Its effectiveness is recognized in providing lasting comfort to people prone to photosensitivity attacks.
Available in 5 different light transmissions, so each patient can choose the intensity that suits their sensitivity.
Magelis Akebi
High precision against light triggers
For many people, light is a trigger for severe headaches. Research has shown that it is precisely wavelengths below 500 nm (blue-violet light) that overstimulate the pain centers.
The key role of melanopsin
At the heart of our retina, melanopsin captures brightness. This photopigment sends signals directly to sensitive areas of the brain. Its peak sensitivity lies around 480-490 nm. Excessive exposure to this "high-energy" light peak overloads the nervous system and can cause debilitating headaches.
Akebi technology: a selective neurological shield
Where conventional lenses simply darken your view, the Akebi tint sorts light with surgical precision:
-
Neutralizing the 484 nm peak: it specifically attenuates light at 484 nm (the turquoise/cyan zone), identified as the most critical for triggering ophthalmic attacks.
-
Spectral balance: by letting violet and light blue wavelengths through while blocking the pain peak, it provides effective protection without completely distorting colors.
-
Inhibiting the pain response: it cuts off the overload signal sent to the brain while preserving excellent visual clarity.
Who is it for?
The Akebi tint is designed for wearers exposed to harsh modern light sources: LED screens, smartphones and white street lighting. It is the active protection tool for those seeking precise neutralization of the glare peak.
Available in 5 different light transmissions, so each patient can choose
the intensity that suits their sensitivity.
