FL-41 Lenses — The Complete Guide

Fully custom. We glaze genuine FL-41 lenses into your chosen Peep frame — or your own — with your prescription if needed, plus coatings, thinning, and light-reactive options.

Yes. We serve Derby & Derbyshire and ship UK-wide. You can also post your own frames to us for glazing.

No — most orders are handled online and by post. Being nearby in the East Midlands simply means support is close if needed.

FL-41 is a rose-tinted optical filter that reduces parts of the blue-green spectrum often linked with light-triggered discomfort. Many people report improved comfort under LEDs/fluorescents and on screens, though responses vary.

No. Generic blue-light glasses usually filter broadly at shorter wavelengths. FL-41 targets a narrower band associated with photophobia discomfort and often feels more comfortable in modern indoor lighting.

People with light sensitivity from migraine (including vestibular), post-concussion/TBI, blepharospasm, visual snow, screen glare, or general LED/fluorescent intolerance. It doesn’t help everyone, so real-world testing is important.

Many people do, especially at work or on screens. If colours feel too warm or your tasks are colour-critical, consider a lighter indoor pair and a darker pair for harsh lighting.

Often, yes. FL-41 can reduce screen harshness that triggers discomfort. A light-to-medium density is the typical starting point for indoor screen use.

Use with caution. Any tint reduces overall light reaching the eye and can increase reflections at night. Most users limit FL-41 to daytime driving. Test carefully and follow clinician guidance.

Light–Medium: for screens and indoor LEDs. Dark: strong fluorescents or bright outdoor situations. Most people start with Medium indoors.

Yes — single-vision and varifocals are available, with optional thinner indices (1.6 / 1.67) and anti-reflective coatings.

Yes. As part of Peep’s Community Feedback Programme (CFP), fitting into your own frame is £30. Prefer not to join? You can buy FL-41 lenses directly in our shop.

Everyday or Easy Life anti-reflective coatings, thinner lenses (1.6 / 1.67), light-reactive (Transitions), and varifocal options. Higher index lenses require a coating.

With a Peep frame via the CFP: lenses included (normally £70). In your own frame via CFP: £30. If you prefer not to join, you can buy lenses directly in the shop at standard pricing.

Most people adapt within a few days. Colours look slightly rosier; this usually becomes “normal” quickly. If colour-critical work is required, choose a lighter density indoors.

Yes—things look warmer/rosier. That shift is expected and part of how the filter works. Light density keeps the shift subtle; Medium is most popular for indoor comfort.

Multiple studies and clinical reports suggest FL-41 can reduce photophobia-related symptoms in migraine, blepharospasm, and other conditions. Individual results vary; we encourage trying lenses in your own environments.

No. FL-41 isn’t a cure. Many users report fewer or milder light-triggered symptoms, but migraine has many causes. Use FL-41 alongside your clinician’s guidance.

Many post-concussion patients report improved comfort under bright or flickering light. Responses vary; consider starting with a lighter density for indoor use.

Some people with blepharospasm report reduced spasms versus neutral tints. Visual snow users often report improved comfort in harsh lighting. Results are individual.

The main trade-off is colour shift and reduced overall light (more noticeable at night). Some tasks that demand exact colour perception may be better with a lighter density.

Rinse with lukewarm water, then use lens spray or mild soap and a clean microfibre cloth. Avoid paper towels and harsh chemicals. Coated lenses stay clearer with gentle care.

Yes—short check-ins at 1, 3, 6 & 12 months. You keep your glasses; your feedback helps others decide if FL-41 is right for them.
