YOU DO HUE

“You put on these wonderful colored lenses and find out that all of a sudden the world is at peace around you when it wasn’t because of the tinnitus, the glare of the lights, or whatever. All of a sudden, you have the magic glasses on and have that improvement of just your sense of well-being. It was pretty amazing.”
— Celeste P., Patient and TBI Survivor

You’ve probably seen the power of color at work in your life many times: the way a color brightens up a room or your mood, the way you respond positively or negatively to certain colors, the way color seems to calm you or excite you. Dr. Stephey sees the power of color every day in his office as colored lenses are one of the tools that he regularly uses to help his patients see well and be well.

Often, patients who are struggling with a range of issues find instant relief from specially prescribed glasses from Dr. Stephey. These glasses may include prisms, low-plus lenses, and / or color. And the results are often quite dramatic. Color, alone or in combination with other lenses, has contributed to patients reporting:

  • Decreased headaches / migraines

  • Increased sense of calm

  • Decreased anxiety

  • Decreased nervous / anxious behaviors (biting lips, wiggling legs, flapping arms, twirling pens, chewing on inside of cheek)

  • Improved balance

  • Improved gait after stroke or brain injury

  • Decreased tinnitus

  • Decreased dizziness / vertigo

  • Decreased light sensitivity

  • Increased ability to tolerate environmental stimulation such as noise and movement

  • Decreased chronic pain

  • Decreased motion sickness

Although most patients respond most favorably to a blue tinted lens, Dr. Stephey works with each patient to determine which color (if any) is best-suited to their individual needs. If you’re frequently nervous, highly distractible, have a functionally hypersensitive nervous system or if you’re prone to anxiety, motion sickness, or headaches, colored lenses could improve your daily functioning contact Dr. Stephey to learn how a comprehensive neurodevelopmental / behavioral eye exam and treatment may help alleviate or eliminate attention problems.
