Originally designed for military use for air-traffic controllers using computers for 14, 16, 18 hours a day to eliminate glare. Now has been demilitarised and available to all that suffer from glare issues.

"I have suffered from multiple sclerosis for the last 20 years and have just recently collected my new pair of copper mesh spectacles, they have eliminated the motion sickness I used to get in the car so now I do not get car sick anymore!"
Mrs L, Bearsted
"The glasses worked very well, they not only helped to relax the eyes but also, with the addition of the UV layer, helped to relax the surroundings to help tackle symptoms such as headaches and lack of focus, improving the ability to work on the computer whilst wearing them. Thanks so much to Kings Hill Opticians for their help."
Miss A, West Malling
"As a busy PA to a managing director, I spend all my time on computers. My Copper Mesh glasses have eliminated my eye strain, my tired eyes, I find them more comfortable and I feel more relaxed whilst wearing them and seem to frown less. If they reduce my lines around my eyes and I don't need botox, I will be even happier!
Thank you to the team at Kings Hill Opticians!"
Ms Z Gillings
"Excellent service. Due to having Fibromyalgia my eyes are very sensitive to bright lights causing me to get severe headaches and migraines making every day activities such as shopping unpleasant. The staff recommended trialing the Copper Mesh lenses to see if that would help. I have since brought a pair of glasses with these lenses and they have made such a difference. I have since been shopping in the same shops and the experience has been much more pleasant. The glare from my phone and tablet is also reduced when I wear my glasses, again making computer work more pleasant. I would definitely recommend :)"
Nicola Galea - Google Review
"Dear Mr Gill
Many thanks for introducing me to your Copper Mesh glasses. Since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 23 years ago, I have experienced motion sickness on car journeys. With the use of these glasses this problem has been totally eliminated.
I also find them calming and relaxing in general wear from the moment I put them on.
Again, many thanks"

"Previously a lot of motorway night driving left my visually fatigued.

I would confidently recommend Copper Mesh glasses to anyone who is having problems with night driving."

Mrs S Toor
"We have definitely seen amazing results with our son's reading and writing skills since using his 'magic specs' as he calls them."
"Our patient who has had a stroke which left her vision 'patchy' tried Copper Mesh over her prescription and started crying. When asked she said it was because the filter had made her vision complete, and the holes in her vision had been filled in. She movingly said that 'she had got her vision back!'"
