Light sensitivity, coloured lenses, advice

Hi all,

I struggle with light sensitivity- bright white light (both natural and artificial) is the worst which can cause bad headaches, fatigue and difficulty concentrating.

I'm always dimming lights on devices, turning lights off, closing curtains (to my family's annoyance) or wearing sunglasses which isn't always practical.

Anyone else experience this or have any suggestions that might help? Do coloured lenses help?

Many thanks!

  • I'm not colourblind. If anything it's quite the opposite ha! I experience colours very intensely which has pros and cons. Thank you for your response and for highlighting the word 'brilliance' to me (some times it's hard to find the right word). I am also irritated by how bright lights are especially car lights and how this can impact our circadian rhythm. Thanks for the website tip, I've not heard of that site. :)
