My favorite brand is peepers. They come in many styles. Reader sunglasses were my favorite. No I use there bifocal sunglasses.
Great tips on using different color light (@snakexeyes) and glasses (@jennifergillan03).
Snakexeyes, do you intend to get your eyes checked out?
@lynnryan Hello there. I'm checking in to see how you are doing with managing your symptoms since PRC, now 2 months out? Do you find scheduling your days helps?

. I developed severe sensitivity to light. Pain went from temple to temple at pain level 10. I had some mild light sensitivity prior to vaccine. It was mild and east to deal with, very little pain. It started about 5 weeks after the shot. I’ve gone through every neurological test the VA has. Today I was told by the neurologist there is no thing they can do. They told me I do not have any neurological problem, it’s all mental and to see a shrink. Her audacity was incredible. The pain I was experiencing transformed into NES’s that lasted from a minute to over 4 hours. They went from mild yo severe. Every muscle is activated, I can’t talk and only shallow breathing until I force deep breathing. Again since they can not test it and get a documented disease it’s all mental.
Not only is this from light but also sound, same bodily reaction. The auditory started about 2 weeks before the optical nerve.
One final note. I wear a sleep mask to reduce the light and I was still seeing light. Mt facial / shill bones let the light come through and trigger my episode. That is how sensitive the optic nerve is. Yet it’s still a mental issue.
Thank you and God bless each of you.
