    You may find that a pair of wrap around sunglasses help. They have bits at the side so that light can't get through that way. And a sun hat may help.

    I sympathise, although yours sounds even more extreme than mine.  I can't even bear bright colours, they hurt my eyes.

    My chiropractor recommended tinted lenses, so I got red tinted sunglasses that I wear the whole time I am out, whatever the weather.  They change the light rather than block it much.  You could try on different coloured tints in a shop that does sunglasses or something.

    You may find flexible silicone earplugs will be the best as they are made for people that work in noisy factories etc. and you can get them cheap on eBay.  There are also those ones that are like putty so you fit them exactly to your own ear.

    Read up on Mears Irlen Syndrome (also known as scotopic sensitivity).  I fit the criteria for this.

    well for light its mostly bright light,   sunlight,  and LED's  re particulerly   bad  to,
    and as  for noise   its mostly   high pitch noises (sirens,   alarms,screaming ect)   and  also large colections of smaller noise,  (a room of people talking,   lots of cars bikes  or  busses,)      at  first it was ok i kinda liked  the down time     toi  not go out  and be lazy  for a little while,    but thats  was  for  like the first month  or so... its nerly  3 years  now  and  no end  to my sensativoty  is in sight   on  top of that   its  a real problem   for my  family AND my GF    the longer   this goes on  the more of a problem  its getting   its just  getting  worse and worse,    now whenever  my GF  mentions   something like "i'm bored,   going out would have been nice"    brings me to tears   more and more each time   its  killing me to my  very  core   i know    she dosnt mean it in  spitefull way  cos  she is more lovingg  and caring  then  anyone i know  appart from my own mum,    i know its me getting more and more sensative to the issue  at this rate i dont know how long i can keep up  a fake smile ?

    and i have looked into   glasses  with a spacialist tint but i fear  that might not be enough still  :/

    Hi Justice - this must be miserable for you.  My son has a sensitivity to certain noises + wears headphones when out - the ones that go over your ears.  When the music's playing he is undisturbed but when he switches his music off sound permeates thru again.  Headphones are helpful but are not a complete answer to the problem.  Ear defends, I've heard, can be helpful but not if you want to communicate with others.  Opticians may be able to advise about whether the lenses in your glasses need changing.  Could you explain to us in a bit more detail so perhaps we can give better replies to you.  For example is it any kind of light or noise or only certain kinds of light or noise?  Sorry, wish I could be of more help.
