To address the needs of people with various visual impairments (such as light sensitivity), we offer a diverse selection of non-polarized UV absorptive filters developed specifically for Low Vision applications. We strongly recommend that you consult your eye care professional or physician when selecting the Low Vision UV absorptive filter that will best suit your particular eye condition or visual impairment. The collection is available in a full range of patented frame sizes/styles that are designed to comfortably and securely fit over prescription glasses, but can also be worn equally as well on their own.

Our UV absorptive filters are optically correct, scratch-resistant, and specifically designed to enhance contrast. The professional-grade, polycarbonate lens systems are extremely durable and designed to withstand the rigors of daily use. The injection molded side shields are precisely regulated to match the exact light transmission, UV cut off and tint of the accompanying front lens system. As with all Cocoons, they feature adjustable Flex2Fit temples and ballistic nylon frames with Soft Touch frame finishes. Each pair includes our famous Cocoons case, a lens cleaning cloth, Use & Care Guide and a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty.
