Melanin is the pigment that gives our hair and skin their color. It is also the eye’s primary defense against light damage.

The Scientists at Photo Protective Technologies have developed the patents and technologies to synthesize and chemically modify melanin so that it can be incorporated into optical quality plastic lenses.

What makes the melanin lenses superior to other tinted lenses is their ability to filter colors in proportion to their damage – thereby reducing the risks of macular degeneration and cataracts – while still providing excellent color perception.

In the eye it reduces the risks of macular degeneration. In sunglass lenses, melanin reduces the risks of cataracts and macular degeneration without losing the perception of color. Melanin lenses are able to reduce glare without polarization.

Computer and Reading Glasses with Melanin lenses provide superior eye protection.

All of our Melavision glasses offer exceptional protection and comfort for your eyes. The lenses provide 100% protection from UV and HEV (high energy visable) light. They include a scratch protective coating as well as offering true color, glare reduction, and natural protection to the lens and to your retina through the use of melanin.

Improve eye comfort, reduce eye strain, and reduce the risks of macular degeneration and cataracts with protection that occurs naturally in the eye.  Excellent glare reduction, UV & HEV protection, with excellent preservation of color perception. Melavision Computer glasses are available with or without a magnification.
