Light hypersensitivity: Has anyone tried "migraine" or colored glasses for it? (lemmy.world)

If you have, how well has it helped? Did different colors, such as those driving yellow tinted ones, help more? I have some transitions glasses, but that only helps outside. I saw on at least one site rose colored migraine glasses and am thinking about getting a pair.

That is a good idea. I will have to try that. I had used some yellow goggles a while back when I was bike riding, but I wasn't have a sensory overload where everything bothers me then. I did notice that while everything seemed brighter, my eyes didn't react as if it was. A quick search at a local store has yellow for under 10. I don't see red, which I am a bit more curious about as I haven't tried them. The advantage of "medical" is I can get them in prescription lenses(and styles), but I only need those for distance as I am nearsighted.

I need prescription glasses now too, but what I've tried just to see if the colours work, is just putting the coloured glasses on over my existing glasses. Obviously it's not ideal, but it's at least letting me know if the coloured glasses are likely to work, before I spend a lot of money on a pair.

As an aside, you've just reminded me that I need prescription sunglasses and I've forgotten to ring the optician again ๐Ÿ™ˆ

With what you shared and another commenter mention computer glasses, I decided to order a few colors of safety glasses and I adjusted my monitors temperature. Thanks for sharing, it has been helpful.
