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

  • There's a test you can get a some opticians where they test for for what they call optical stress (colorimetry). The theory is that we can have sensitivity to certain light waves.

    So you get lenses that block that particular frequency.

    I wear transitions that have a rose tint that obviously gets darker in UV , the world looks a lot less green.

    Just a thought.

    Same for me. Transition lenses with a tint. Helps a bit. Then turn to sunglasses in full sun. But still nothing compared to my polarised sunglasses which are amazing in bright sunshine.

    I tried the red tint ones, cost me £400. I took them back as they did nothing for me

    Also, I use software called Twilight on my phone and laptop so when I wake up or before I sleep a red tint and dimming occurs on all screens apart from the TV which I have to manually put on a lower intensity brightness which the family are useless to us doing now, it helps them a bit too
