Irlen Glasses

autismtwo

When I go into shops, especially supermarkets I get dizzy or if there is bright lights, even the sun in my eyes,, I get dizzy, it is like I am half drunk. My balance goes off. I was thinking maybe I am light sensitive.. researching,, I came across Irlen Glasses which are filter lens of some type.

Anyone know anything about this, is it a path worth exploring. I always assumed the dizzy spells were anxiety related, but could it be light sensitivity ?

  • Hello, I am light sensitive (Also noise and movement), I get a noise/pressure sensation in my head, struggle with concentration and things like co-ordination and balance and get migraines because of strong light.

    I am only just getting diagnosed now, and although I knew about irlen lenses it sounded like an expensive thing to look into due to my circumstances. I already wear glasses for short sighedness so when I went into my optician I asked to see the selection of lense tints. They usually have a wide range including the traditional sunglasses colours (black, brown, green), driving colours (yellow, blue) and fashion colours (pink)

    High street brand opticians usually have a range of lense colours to test on-premises and also a range of strengths, so you can see what works best for you.
