VXP Polarization Technology
The VIOSENSE lens technology occupies a unique position in the market of color blindness-assistive eyewear as the only solution to use wavelength-selective polarization.
Unlike legacy color blind glasses that remove broad wavelengths of light using colored dyes—distorting color balances and darkening your overall field of view—VXP Polarized lenses leverage properties of polarized light naturally emitted by modern digital displays. By introducing a precise differential signal between your eyes, they produce an extra sensory dimension of color perception.
Universal Compatibility: Because VIOSENSE does not rely on color saturation enhancement alone, it works effectively across deuteranomaly, deuteranopia, protanomaly, and protanopia.
Expanding Color with Binocular Rivalry
The concept behind VIOSENSE originates from an idea proposed over 150 years ago by James Clerk Maxwell, the father of modern optical physics. In his seminal 1855 treatise on color vision, Maxwell theorized that if a person with color blindness looked through two opposing color filters—one before each eye—their visual cortex could perceive a novel perceptual signal via the phenomenon of binocular rivalry.
However, using two different intensely colored lenses in everyday life proved impractical and disorienting. That remained an unsolved puzzle until the development of VIOSENSE.
How VIOSENSE Lenses Work
VIOSENSE eyewear was born from a breakthrough discovery: by applying a specialized wavelength-selective polarization filter, the benefits of binocular rivalry can be induced by the polarization angle of the light rather than heavy chromatic tinting.
Digital screens (such as computer monitors, laptops, and smartphones) emit polarized light. By orienting the optical axes of each lens independently, each eye receives subtly different visual data for problematic color pairs (such as red and green, or orange and brown). The brain's visual processing center fuses these inputs, creating an unmistakable, shimmering visual cue that makes color distinctions immediate and obvious.
Universal Compatibility for Color Vision Deficiencies
Traditional color blind glasses require "anomalous trichromacy" (residual functioning red and green cones) to produce an effect. Persons with dichromacy (such as deuteranopia or protanopia) often see little or no benefit from traditional dyed lenses.
Because VIOSENSE translates color differences into depth and brightness cues via binocular interaction, it works effectively for both trichromats and dichromats.
