Frequently Asked Questions
How does Mi Optics work and what are the benefits?
Research* indicates that filtering certain bands of light may be beneficial in reducing migraines, anxiety, and sleep disruption. We utilize filtration of those bands while allowing a narrow band of light through which still allows you to see very clearly.
Mi Optics lenses offer a soothing, narrow band of natural light that is designed to let you see and function without discomfort from everyday light.
Mi Optics can be incorporated into part of a healthy plan, and has been shown to help with the pain associated with photosensitivity and digital eyestrain, while improving general well-being. Mi Optics is designed to provide soothing green light comfort and may help those living with migraines, anxiety, and sleep disruption.
Mi Optics is also designed to block 95% of blue light, and may help those living with sleep disruption, exposure to excessive screen time and gaming, and rest and nighttime issues.

What are the differences between Mi Optics Precise, Pro and Lab?
How do I use Mi Optics?
Mi Optics are worn like any other pair of glasses. When ordering Mi Optics Precise or Mi Optics Pro, indicate if you need to add your eyewear prescription to the frames. Rx is not available in Mi Optics Lab.
How do I determine which Mi Optics model is best for me?
There are two primary Mi Optics lens models to choose from:
Mi Optics Precise uses high-temperature treated glass to deliver the highest-level of narrow band light transmissivity with superb optical clarity. This allows people with light sensitivity to function normally in a darkened indoor environment and perform activities like reading or using a computer. The optical clarity of Mi Optics Precise allows your eyes to rest comfortably while being immersed in a nbGL experience.
Mi Optics Pro and Mi Optics Lab deliver the same narrow band spectrum with our performance polymer lenses. The darker Mi Optics Pro and Lab lenses have lower light transmissivity, making it more suitable for people with greater light sensitivity, as well as a combination of both indoor and outdoor activities.
