Altius lenses are performance-tinted soft contact lenses engineered with selective light-filtering technology. They block 100% of harmful UV rays and over 99% of blue light while allowing the rest of the color spectrum through with sharper clarity and greater visual comfort.
Available in two formulations — Amber and Grey-Green — Altius lenses can be made with or without a corrective prescription, making them accessible to anyone who wants enhanced visual performance or relief from light sensitivity.
Not just for athletes: Altius lenses are also used therapeutically for patients with photophobia, migraines, post-concussion symptoms, and traumatic brain injuries. The selective light filtering calms stressed visual pathways and reduces discomfort.
Performance & Therapeutic Benefits
Selective light filtering sharpens contrast and visual acuity, making objects and backgrounds easier to distinguish.
Improved visual clarity helps your eyes adjust to stimuli faster — critical for tracking a ball, reading the field, or reacting to movement.
Complete protection from harmful UV radiation and over 99% blue light filtration in a comfortable soft contact lens.
Therapeutic benefit for patients with photophobia, migraines, and concussion-related light sensitivity — indoors and outdoors.
Available with corrective power for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism — or without correction for athletes with 20/20 vision.
Soft lens material provides comfortable wear for extended periods during games, practices, outdoor activities, or daily indoor use.
Baseball, football, tennis, soccer, water polo, surfing, golf — any sport where contrast, reaction time, and UV protection matter.
Patients with chronic light sensitivity find relief from the selective light filtering that calms overstimulated visual pathways.
Therapeutic support for traumatic brain injury patients experiencing persistent light sensitivity and visual discomfort.
Endorsed by university programs — Altius lenses are trusted by optometrists at major institutions including the University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Houston, and the Special Olympics Opening Eyes Program.
Frequently Asked Questions
Altius lenses are performance-tinted soft contact lenses that use selective light-filtering technology to block 100% of harmful UV and over 99% of blue light while enhancing contrast and visual clarity. They are available in two tints — Amber and Grey-Green — and can be made with or without a corrective prescription.
Athletes in sports like baseball, football, tennis, soccer, and water sports benefit from sharper contrast and faster ball-tracking ability. Altius lenses are also used therapeutically for patients with light sensitivity (photophobia), migraines, post-concussion symptoms, and traumatic brain injuries.
Altius lenses are available in both prescription (corrective) and non-prescription (plano) versions. Either way, a professional contact lens fitting at PersonalEyes is required to ensure proper fit, comfort, and lens selection for your specific needs.
The Amber tint is optimized for contrast enhancement and is ideal for sports requiring fast ball tracking in variable lighting (baseball, tennis, football). The Grey-Green tint provides broader light reduction and is suited for bright outdoor environments and patients with photophobia or migraine-related light sensitivity.
Yes. While they are especially effective outdoors, both tint options are designed for comfortable indoor and outdoor use. Patients with light sensitivity or post-concussion symptoms often wear them indoors to reduce visual discomfort from overhead lighting and screens.
