ML Filter for better vision

Selective filters absorb disturbing light. But was it that?

The answer to this question lies with your client, as filters cuts away or dims the parts of the light that are perceived as disturbing. They can be used on healthy eyes or for medical purposes, to protect the eyes, create better contrast, or provide increased comfort.

What is the difference between coloured lenses and filters?

Many people look for coloured lenses when they are actually after something more advanced.

Coloured lenses dim the light – but without precise control over which parts of the light spectrum are affected. The result can therefore vary both in terms of function and between different manufacturers.

A filter, on the other hand, is designed to selectively absorb specific wavelengths of light. This means we know exactly how the filter affects the visual experience – and that we can reproduce the same result every time.

This makes filters a more precise, reliable and functional option, particularly when improved comfort, contrast or protection against glare is required.

Multilens filter colours are selected with care and great precision – they are based on 40 years of knowledge about which light is absorbed and to what degree.

What filter should i choose?

Let the customer try different filters and pay attention to the reaction.

It is important to remember that different people experience filters in different ways and it is not possible to promise a specific effect for an individual person.

Pioneers in organic filters

– Early on, the Multilens business was located in an old paper mill, in the former home of the factory caretaker. That’s where Lars Hellström started testing different pigments. He had a small hob and pots with colouring mixture and dipped the plastic lenses until he found the right colours, says his son Björn Hellström.

How to try out filters

Filters are about the patient’s experience and it is not possible to measure which one fits. Therefore, it is important to let the customer try different filters and pay attention to the reaction. The most important question is: "How does this filter feel?"
