Frequently Asked Questions

MiOptics are patented therapeutic lenses that filter a very specific wavelength of green light from full spectrum (normal lighting conditions) to support brain and nervous system health. They help reduce symptoms of headaches, migraines, stress and anxiety.

MiOptics lenses use color filtration technology to remove targeted light frequencies that may trigger neurological symptoms like migraines, motion sickness, anxiety, pain and light sensitivity. The specially patented lenses help calm the visual system and reduce or relieve symptoms.

Research* indicates that filtering certain bands of light may be beneficial in reducing migraines, anxiety and sleep disruption. We utilize filtration of those bands while allowing a narrow band of light through which still allows you to see very clearly.

MiOptics lenses offer a soothing, narrow band of natural light that is designed to let you see and function without discomfort from everyday light.

MiOptics can be incorporated into a plan for better health and has been shown to help with the pain associated with photosensitivity and digital eyestrain, while improving general well-being. MiOptics is designed to provide soothing green light comfort and may help those living with migraines, anxiety and sleep disruption.

MiOptics are also designed to block 95% of blue light, and may help those living with sleep disruption, exposure to excessive screen time and gaming, and rest and sleep issues.  

MiOptics go beyond blue light blocking by filtering a broader range of light wavelengths that can cause neurological stress. They are designed for therapeutic use, not just screen comfort.

MiOptics are a revolutionary advancement in color wavelength mitigation based on Percept’s patented Augmented Perception Technology™. MiOptics patented lens technology blocks blue and red light with performance that is well beyond currently available competitive products. MiOptics lenses are the only true narrow band green light filter in the market.

The science behind narrow band green light (nbGL) was pioneered by Harvard’s world-renowned neurologist Rami Burstein, PhD, Professor of Neuroscience at Harvard Medical School, and currently the president of the International Headache Society.  

Numerous peer-reviewed studies have been published in the medical literature that cite the benefit of nbGL for various conditions.  

Visit our Science page for more information.

Narrow band green light (nbGL) refers to a specific wavelength range of green light. Unlike broad-spectrum light, nbGL targets precise neural pathways associated with pain, mood and sleep regulation. Research suggests it may help reduce anxiety, improve sleep and support overall well-being.

The colors in full spectrum light create micro-electrical signals (neurostimulation) in the eyes and brain that can trigger a variety of symptoms. Research shows that only a very narrow band of green light can reduce triggers in the brain that cause pain and disruption to daily activities. Reducing symptoms and managing pain help people return to normal function and improve their quality of life.

There are three primary MiOptics lens models to choose from:

MiOptics Precise uses high-temperature treated glass to deliver the highest-level of narrow band green light (NbGL) transmissivity with superb optical clarity. This allows people with light sensitivity to function normally in a darkened indoor environment and perform activities like reading or using a computer. The optical clarity of MiOptics Precise allows your eyes to rest comfortably while being immersed in a nbGL experience. MiOptics Precise are not available with prescription lenses. 

MiOptics Pro, MiOptics Sport and Sport Plus deliver the same narrow band green light spectrum with our performance polymer lenses. The darker MiOptics Pro and Lab lenses have lower light transmissivity, making it more suitable for people with greater light sensitivity, as well as a combination of both indoor and outdoor activities. MiOptics Pro and MiOptics Lab are available with prescription lenses. 

MiClips glasses offer a versatile nbGL experience throughout the day. Four patented lens choices support visual comfort and therapeutic support with an easy change of lenses for various conditions with a similar lens to the MiOptics Pro and Lab models.

MiOptics uses a patented narrow band green lens and cannot be exchanged for a clear lens.

Children can use MiOptics to benefit from migraine, anxiety and sleep disruption symptom relief. Our frames are available in smaller sizes for children.

Currently, MiOptics Pro and MiOptics Precise are only available in a high polish gold electroplated frame with black eye shields.  

Stay tuned for additional colors and styles in the future.
