[Colored filters in the treatment of severe photosensitivities. Introduction to a pilot study]

Among photosensitive patients, the use of colored filters sometimes leads to a clear improvement of comfort. After a general review of theory, we start on the way we take care of these patients and the way filters are fitted and made. We only present here a preliminary work. A subsequent study or accurate informations of colored filters will be published later. The aim is to set up a methodic procedure in order to find the best selection of the recommended spectral curve and the best way to follow the progress of the patient as regards the wearing and the effect of the filter. An overview of our cases is presented.
