Light sensitivity solution

[Streetwise]

Anxiety does not physiologically affect one's eyesight, though stress of all sorts can make us more psychologically sensitive in all sorts of ways.
Maui Jims are polarised sunglasses - good quality product for an off the shelf solution but very limited when it comes to Rx options.
Raybans are now made by Luxottica - an Italian frame manufacturer who are the dominant force in spectacle frames and make over half of the "designer" names you might be familiar with. They recently merged with Essilor - the world's biggest Rx lens manufacturer.
The classic tint on rayban lenses is called "G-15" - a grey-green colour which allows 15% of visible light through (LTF or Light Transmission Factor). Generically it can be supplied on Rx lenses as "grey-green 15%LTF"
There is no solution for flourescent lights other than avoidance I'm afraid. Tinted or photochromic lenses might help though. Transitions Xtractive lenses might be worth looking at. They react indoors to a degree and have a darker residual colour. I'm sensitive to flourescents and they make them a bit more bearable to me and a few other autistic people I know IRL with similar issues. Replacing flourescents wherever possible is the best solution though.



There is no such lens I'm aware of, and no coloured lens should have any physiological effect on anxiety at all. You could try seeing an Irlen specialist who would undoubtedly recommend something, they always do. I did the training for dispensing Irlen lenses/overlays but did not feel I could do so professionally in good conscience, but if you've found it to help before, maybe they can suggest something that you would feel helped you now. Sorry I can't offer anything more concrete on that topic.

No it doesn’t work completely, part of it is definitely panic and that part of the brain doesn’t have connection to eyesight !so I’m stuffed, I’ve got nearly every coloured lens known to man .It’s too degrading to contact the NHS ,They care about their staff and their psychological well-being ,they don’t care about the patients psychological well-being not if youre me.

I am sensitive to light too! Often when relatives come and visit me, the first thing they do is shout an exasperated "Wow, open some blinds, turn on a light, anything! It's so dark in here! How do you see a thing?"

Same here. Unfortunately, it’s hard for most people to understand why we need this.
