Light sensory glasses?

NAS95410
Hi everyone, I would like any assistance with light sensory issues please, if anyone can help ?
Is there anything such as special lenses for glasses for this issue? I am aware of tinted lenses or even full on sunglasses, also photochromatic which I understand change from outside to inside.
But surely there is something out there for this Autism related issue.
I work from home, and occasionally go in the office, when I do its unbearable tbh, my glasses do have blue light coating, but this doesn't help, I simply could not walk around wearing actually sunglasses, I would feel extremely anxious and the rest etc!
transition lenses change from shaded to unshaded so these wouldn't help either.
Any help greatly appreciated

  • I peobably should be looking into this more, but for now (and for some time) I've reached the point of wearing sunglasses, a not insignificant percentage of the day, in all sorts of places. Overhead strip-lighting is so ubiquitous that, now in my forties, I'm willing to look like an utter berk (if I even do, not sure!) just to mitigate the pain and overwhelm. Then there's intense daylight levels even on cloudy days. Apart from some initial comments about the Blues Brothers etc. in the office from less tactful colleagues, it hasn't been too much remarked upon, so maybe just let the anxiety about 'how does this look?' etc. fade a little more with each use. You can just keep them in your coat pocket or something when you feel the conditions are more favourable.

    This really resonates with me. Without sunglasses I just develop such a headache - thought I must have a brain tumour years ago before realising it was a result of autism-related sensory issues. Always wondered why no one else around me was affected in the same way.
