Not looking forward to extreme heat

It was 27.C here today and its forecast to be similar tomorrow, its supposed to cool down on saturday, but still no rain, I'm missing rain. My eyes need a rest from this brightness too, it all feels pretty unrelenting

The brightness is something I have found hard, that is another reason why it is more pleasant when some of the day is overcast. I can also sense a dustiness in the air.

I went for testing at an optician and had blue-tinted lenses made which block yellow light.

I will try asking co-pilot as it tends to cut through the crap results

Yes, do keep trying as it might make a huge difference to you. They can adjust frames too. Good luck.

I don't there is one round here, I've tried looking but just the usual ones come up and if I put in vision stress test, it comes up with sites about what it is and who might need it and the usual opticians. I will try asking co-pilot as it tends to cut through the crap results and give me places in Halifax and it was Halifax, Nova Scotia, not even Halifax in Yorkshire!

You need to find a specialist optician who offes the visual stress test  [also called, 'colorimitry assessment'].  This is not offered by High Street opticians, only ones who have the specialist training - which is why you might have got that reaction.

There's a metal box hood you duck your head inside and they try different coloured lens to see which suits you. 

I find sun glasses really difficult to wear as I get a sweaty face and they slide down my nose and I'm constantly pushing them back up, because my face is sweaty they steam up too.

I've tried talking to opticians about light sensititvity, but they act like I'm making a fuss, I asked if they could make me some really dark lenses in a pair of frames of my choice and they said no and acted like I was being totally ridiculous, to the point where I asked them why I couldn't have them seeing as I was paying for them. They also seem to discourage reactions lenses because they don't change fast enough when driving.
