Advanced eye protection for sensitive conditions
Medical Filters
Photoselective medical filters are an essential technology for improving visual comfort, reducing glare, and protecting the retina in cases of ocular pathologies or light-sensitive neurological conditions.
At Più Ottica centers, we offer a professional selection of medical filters specifically for glaucoma, macular degeneration, and photosensitive epilepsy, designed to improve visual quality and ensure greater safety in daily life.
These filters are not simple colorings but precision optical instruments capable of absorbing specific light wavelengths, stabilizing contrast, and reducing potentially harmful visual stimuli.
Filters for protection, contrast, and glare reduction
GLAUCOMA
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by progressive damage to the optic nerve, often associated with increased intraocular pressure. It is one of the leading causes of low vision and can reduce the visual field, making it difficult to perceive lateral details and light changes.
Why are medical filters useful in glaucoma?
GLAUCOMA
Photo-selective filters for glaucoma help to:
• reduce glare, which is particularly bothersome in advanced stages;
• increase contrast perception in very bright environments;
• limit the most aggressive wavelengths for the optic nerve;
• improve light management while driving or during outdoor activities.
They are available in different shades, calibrated according to the type of light sensitivity and the progression of the disease.

How medical filters help
Photoselective filters indicated for photosensitive epilepsy:
• reduce the intensity of the most activating wavelengths (often in the blue range);
• stabilize light input, reducing sudden light peaks;
• reduce the risk of visual triggers in environments with artificial lighting;
• increase safety when using digital devices and monitors.
They are available in specific certified versions to maximize protection in cases of light hypersensitivity.

technology and personalization
The medical filters used by Più Ottica are designed to select useful light and block harmful light, improving detail rendition and limiting visual disturbances.
They can be applied to:
• ophthalmic lenses with diopters;
• medical sunglasses;
• low vision glasses;
• customized lenses for daily use or specific activities.
Each filter is calibrated based on the pathology and individual visual parameters.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
CURIOSITY
Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition characterized by an increase in intraocular pressure that, over time, can damage the optic nerve. It is known as a “silent disease” because in its early stages it shows no obvious symptoms, making it often difficult to detect without regular check-ups. Early diagnosis can significantly slow its progression and preserve vision quality.
In its early stages, glaucoma can be completely asymptomatic. As the disease progresses, a gradual loss of peripheral vision, bright halos around lights, difficulty adapting to darkness, or a feeling of ocular pressure may be noticed. If these signs are present, it is important to undergo a thorough ophthalmological examination immediately, which includes tonometry, optic nerve examination, and visual field testing.
Prevention primarily involves regular eye examinations: for adults, a comprehensive check-up is recommended every 12 months, while for those with a family history of glaucoma, more frequent checks are advisable. Key diagnostic tests include tonometry, OCT of the optic nerve, visual field analysis, and evaluation of the iridocorneal angle. Consistent monitoring allows for early detection of the disease and timely intervention with targeted therapies.
