Photophobia Glasses for Light Sensitivity
People who suffer from Photophobia (light sensitivity) can often find relief by wearing the right combination of frames and lenses. Simply using darker and darker lenses is not the solution. In fact, overly dark lenses can reduce overall light levels and may negatively affect visual quality.
Research carried out in the 1990s by the University of Birmingham found that specific optical filters in glasses could significantly reduce the risk of triggering migraine headaches, Blepharospasm, light-triggered seizures, and Computer Vision Syndrome. After extensive testing, the filter that proved most effective was given the code FL‑41.
The FL-41 filter works by reducing certain blue and green wavelengths within the light spectrum, which are known to trigger symptoms in some people with light sensitivity.
These glasses feature:
-
A wrap-around frame design that follows the contour of the head to minimise stray light.
-
Thick side arms that help block light entering from the sides of the frame.
-
FL-41 tinted lenses designed to filter specific wavelengths.
-
Built-in UVA and UVB protection for additional eye safety.
When managing any medical condition, it is always recommended that you consult your eye care professional, such as an ophthalmologist or GP, before making a purchase.



Sandra –
Look like a nice quality pair of sunglasses and lenses really help me.
