How do I choose a lens type and tint?
The easiest way to narrow down the tint type and strength you need is to answer a few quick questions with our lens assistant. If you still have questions, please contact our customer care team for help at contact@theraspecs.com or read below for more information on how to choose a lens type and lens strength.
How to Choose a Lens Type
As part of an overall light management plan, we recommend specific lens options to help manage problematic light sources, such as:
- Digital screens
- Fluorescent lights
- LED lights
- Blue light
- Flashing lights and repeating patterns
- Night driving
- Sunlight
You can also explore detailed information about each of our lens options in order to make an informed decision about the right TheraSpecs for you.

How to Choose a Lens Strength
For lenses that offer multiple strengths, our Standard strength tint is most popular. The overall tint of the lens is 35%. It balances protection from the most problematic wavelengths of light with a lens that is comfortable to wear.
If you know light bothers you a lot, our Extra strength tint may be a good option. For people who require even more protection, we offer Max strength, though we generally recommend starting with a lighter tint first.
Note, if you have trouble with the harsh wavelengths from flashing or strobing lights and/or repeating patterns, we recommend adding TheraSpecs Z-Blue™ in max strength to your light management toolkit.
Whatever tint strength you choose, please let us know if it doesn’t meet your needs. We make exchanging for a lighter or darker tint easy!
