@mtnwoman Hi just doing a quick search/read before bed.... may I ask ifyou wear sunglasses or tinted glasses to help with the bothersome lights. Adult daughter and i have chronic dry eyes she wears quite dark ones, prescription, and am wondering if thats good - i only use outside but now seems a sunny day have to half close venetian blinds... maybe I should get my prescription glasses tinted?

@lacy2 you can ask your optometrist about FL41 lenses. These help reduce glare and block out some of the harsh blue light that can be irritating. They have a rosy hue. You can get them as a prescription. Depending on how much tint you need you can get them lighter/darker. The lens is a rosy color, just a heads up. I find it them useful for night driving or other conditions where it feels like sunglasses wouldn’t work.
@lacy2 Dear mtn woman No I don't wear sunglasses regularly but I do wear them outside in very bright sun. Fortunately the sun does not bother me. I feel no pain in very bright sunny conditions. Another reason I feel fortunate is because the times that I have had to resort to sunglasses I felt very off balance or felt that I was about to trip over something that I couldn't see as well as I should.

@lacy2
I do have prescription sunglasses, and I do wear them in the house when the sun is bright (we don't have curtains), or when it's approaching dusk/evening and the lights are on. They do help, for sure.
