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 totally understand what you're going through with light sensitivity. It can be a real challenge, especially when bright lights lead to headaches and fatigue. You're definitely not alone in this. Colored lenses might be worth a shot – some people find relief with them, but results can vary. One thing that might help is making sure your eyes get proper rest at night. Have you considered trying blackout curtains? They can really help create a darker environment that's easier on your eyes during the day. It's all about finding what works best for you.

  • Thanks for your reply. Apologies for the delay, couldn't recall my password and there was issues resetting it ha! I ended up going to a different optician would was very knowledgeable and I now have coloured lens which have been life changing! And yes, balckout curtains are great!
