Photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) is a neurological condition in which exposure to certain visual stimuli—such as flickering lights, patterns, or specific wavelengths of light—triggers seizures. It affects around 3% of people with epilepsy, particularly younger individuals, and is often associated with flashing lights from screens, video games, or strobe effects.
Z1 blue-tinted lenses are designed to filter out specific wavelengths of light that are most likely to trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. Research suggests that blue-light filtering lenses can reduce the likelihood of seizures by stabilising neural responses in the brain and preventing excessive stimulation from harmful light frequencies.
