What can be done to relieve glare sensitivity?
People with conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetes, retinitis pigmentosa and albinism often complain of glare sensitivity. The world sometimes appears to them as hazy and full of glare. They avoid the brightness of the sun and they find simple activities such as reading and shopping unpleasant.
Filters and absorptive lenses can help to control glare sensitivity and also can help to enhance the reduced contrast caused by the glare. Certain filters available today may selectively filter out light from the glare producing spectrum so they may lessen glare and sharpen vision.

Continously looking at a computer screen for many hours may cause eye strain and irritation. Filter applications can diminish these problems and ease computer use.
