FL-41 tinted lenses for photophobia/light sensitivity

[talkinghead]

Has anyone tried glasses like theraspecs or axon optics for light sensitivity/computer work? If so, please share your results.

I use Irlen lenses, as I have autism-associated light sensitivity. They really help with the contrast between black type and white page, and enable me to read more comfortably. I also use a screen tint app for the same reason. However, I never experience traditional migraines (just occasional ocular ones), and these lenses are to reduce contrast rather than block specific light frequencies, so their purpose may be different.

Thanks I’ll look into irlen also.

Eye strain is one of my biggest problems when doing computer work also. It's like my eyes are super tired and cant take it anymore.

I havnt tried these glasses but the tablets have these bluelight filters and you can enable that on many browsers with the right extension. not sure if it will be the same but i notice a lot less eye strain when i enable the blue light filter thingie on my tablet.

@hmnr asg Yeah I have sw blue light filters enabled on all my devices and using lowest brightness possible. But my light sensitivity is still acting crazy.

I’ve read some anecdotal reports this glasses work better and also are huge help under fluorescent light, under which my brain feels like it’s frying (I literally feel I’m dying in supermarkets), so I’m gonna try it and will report back.

After several years of dealing with numerous bad responses to everything from TV and computer screens to fluorescent lights and plain ol' sunlight, I discovered this incredible $8 fix, made by Honeywell. They fit over your prescription glasses, too. Amazon carries them, for fast delivery and low price. I've seen them n other sites for more.
