Migraine
Light is one of the most common migraine triggers. Our tints filter the wavelengths most linked to light-triggered migraine.

Photosensitive epilepsy
Around 3% of people with epilepsy are photosensitive, where flickering lights, patterns or certain wavelengths can trigger seizures.
Recommended tint:
Concussion & mTBI
Light sensitivity, headaches and visual discomfort are common after concussion. Filtering the right light can make everyday environments more comfortable.
Recommended tint:
Achromatopsia
A rare inherited condition that causes extreme light sensitivity, reduced visual acuity and difficulty seeing in bright conditions.
Recommended tint:
Visual snow syndrome
Seeing constant 'static' across your vision, often with light sensitivity and afterimages.

Compare our tints
Each NeuroTint filters a different part of the light spectrum. Here's how they compare.
| Tint | What it filters | Best for | Intensities | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FL-41 | Blue-green light around 480–520 nm | Migraine · Concussion · Visual snow · Light sensitivity | Light 27% · Medium 50% · Dark 75% | Details → |
| E-Blue | Amber/orange light around 590–610 nm | Migraine · Flicker sensitivity | Light 15% · Medium 30% · Dark 50% | Details → |
| C01 Plum | Nearly all blue and green light (about 480–650 nm) | Achromatopsia · Severe light sensitivity | — | Details → |
| Z1 Blue | Yellow, orange and red light (580–640 nm) | Photosensitive epilepsy | — | Details → |
NeuroTint FL-41
For migraine and sensitivity to harsh blue-white light
Best for
Migraine · Concussion · Visual snow · Light sensitivity
What it filters
Blue-green light around 480–520 nm
Intensities
Light 27% · Medium 50% · Dark 75%
How it works
- Targeted filtering: reduces the blue-green light (around 480–520 nm) most linked to light sensitivity in migraine.
- Calmer visual processing: may help reduce overstimulation of the visual cortex.
- Less pain signalling: may dampen light-driven activation of the trigeminal nerve.
Choosing an intensity
- Light (27%): mild light sensitivity and everyday indoor use. A subtle reduction.
- Medium (50%) – most popular: our usual starting point. For moderate sensitivity to fluorescent and bright indoor lighting, screens and supermarkets. Not very dark, so it's comfortable for all-day wear.
- Dark (75%): for severe light sensitivity, if 50% isn't strong enough, or for very bright fluorescent places like shopping and medical centres.
Not sure? Start with Medium. FL-41 is usually the better choice if cool white, blue or fluorescent light is your main trigger.

NeuroTint E-Blue
For migraine triggered by amber light and flicker
Best for
Migraine · Flicker sensitivity
What it filters
Amber/orange light around 590–610 nm
Intensities
Light 15% · Medium 30% · Dark 50%
How it works
- Targeted filtering: reduces warm amber/reddish light around 590–610 nm.
- Less flicker: may reduce sensitivity to flickering light sources.
- For a specific group: suits the smaller group of people whose migraines are triggered by warm lighting rather than blue-white light.
Choosing an intensity
- Light (15%): a gentle filter for milder sensitivity to warm light, flicker and screens.
- Medium (30%) – most popular: our usual E-Blue starting point.
- Dark (50%): for stronger sensitivity, or if 30% isn't enough.
E-Blue may suit you if flicker, patterns, screens and video calls, driving past trees, or warm yellow/amber lighting set off your symptoms. Not sure? Start with Medium.

NeuroTint C01 Plum
For achromatopsia and severe light sensitivity
Best for
Achromatopsia · Severe light sensitivity
What it filters
Nearly all blue and green light (about 480–650 nm)
How it works
- Strong filtering: blocks nearly all blue and green light to reduce extreme light sensitivity.
- Better contrast: can make it easier to tell objects apart.
- Clearer in bright light: helps visual comfort in bright environments.

NeuroTint Z1 Blue
For photosensitive epilepsy
Best for
Photosensitive epilepsy
What it filters
Yellow, orange and red light (580–640 nm)
How it works
- Selective filtering: filters yellow, orange and red light (580–640 nm), the wavelengths most likely to trigger photosensitive responses.
- Less flicker sensitivity: reduces the perception of flickering screens and lights.
- Calmer response: may help prevent excessive stimulation of the visual cortex.

Backed by research
- FL-41 tinted lenses reduced headache frequency in children with migraine (Good et al., 1991).
- Adults with migraine reported improved comfort with FL-41 (Wilkins et al., 2002).
- Tinted lenses are used in managing chronic migraine and post-traumatic headache (Digre & Brennan, 2012).
- In a study of 610 patients with photosensitive epilepsy, blue lenses effectively suppressed photoparoxysmal responses (Capovilla et al., 2006).
