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 ?

    They can be prescribed by specialist opticians; but the cost of the glasses (even if you receive full help with the cost of glasses) is horrendous. As someone whose prescription chnages pretty much yearly, it's not worth me paying £200+ for a pair each year.

    Good grief.  £200+ for a pair of specialist glasses! :O  That is way excessive and out of most people's reach.
