Photophobia cures?

[melissamin]

I have photophobia and blepharospasm. Recently I read an article how migraine glasses with FL41 tints can help relieve these and therefore migraines - ...has anyone tried them out?


This discussion is related to Light Sensitivity/Photophobia, Headache, Migraine.

I have maybe 2-3 people in my practice that have tried them. The results were not very impressive.

Melissa, hi I’m not sure if you have tried the FL-41 tint. However, I speak from personal experience. I have no vested interest in any of these companies. I have tried 3 different types of FL-41. None of them are the same. They are all different colors. What works for one person might not work for another. I tried axionoptics years ago. They didn’t work for me. So I thought FL-41 wouldn’t work for me. Several years later a friend found Theraspecs. I wasn’t going to try them because I thought I already tried FL-41 and it didn’t work. My friend insisted that she would buy them. So, I tried them And I can’t thank my friend enough!!!  However, they also didn’t work. But put me back to looking, because now I knew they were not all the same. Axonoptics  were a shade of amber. And Theraspecs have more of an orange tint. Then I found my miracle. Comfort Tint. They are contacts. The other 2 are glasses. They absolutely work amazing for me and have radically changed my life. I’m extremely extremely light sensitive. All 3 of these companies offer a money back guarantee or they used to. You absolutely have nothing to lose. And hopefully you will find the right fit for you. Don’t give up!

Melissa, you have nothing to lose by trying them. They were recommended by my neuro-ophthalmologist, who said they have helped many people.  But if they don't help you, you can return them and they will reimburse you for the full price.

I have no vested interest in selling the glasses.  Just a patient.

You sound like someone with a vested interest in selling the glasses.

I am confused John, based on research stud they sound  convincing. they have pretty good research behind them and credibility..

[JohnHaganMD]

There is no credible evidence that these glasses help migraines and they are expensive and not worth the cost in my opinion.
