Preview Enchroma LX Series ENCHROMA EnChroma, creators of the EnChroma eyewear for colour blindness, has unveiled new EnChroma Lx Series for Low Vision and Age-Related Eye Conditions, a new product line to address a rapidly growing category of visual challenges worldwide. Building on more than 10 years of lens expertise from EnChroma’s acclaimed eyewear for colour blindness, the EnChroma Lx Series is uniquely designed to support functional vision for people with vision impairments by reducing the disabling effects of glare, improving contrast and enhancing colour vision over multiple lighting conditions. The Lx Series will be available through selected EnChroma authorized retailers worldwide. The Lx Series Trial Kit includes four lenses: a Category 1 lens (80 per cent transmission) for low-light and night-time use; Category 2 and 3 lenses (12 and 36 per cent transmission, respectively) for combined glare reduction and colour vision enhancement; and an ultra-dark Category 4 lenses (3 per cent transmission) for extreme glare management. Patients with conditions such as cataracts, corneal damage, optic neuropathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma and other visual disorders associated with glare sensitivity and reduced colour vision may also benefit from adopting the new lens.
