MavGlasses - where to buy them?

[waspcharmer]

Websites, stores, all suggestions welcomed. I need something I can wear daily for a relatively cheap price, but good quality. I told myself I’d never give in as I thought it would look silly/draw attention and ‘lessen my immunity/building resistance’ to triggers but… if it gets me outside doing things I’ll wear the glasses!! No one else will care or even notice, plus may give me more time to calm everything down up there and have less attacks. Pref. good for indoor and outdoor use - I have no prescription glasses (don’t need them). Thanks all

Ah yes when I searched last night before I posted this board I found axon USA, but I was wondering if there were any other cheaper options?

Sunglasses

I sometimes use a dark brown pair of prescription sunglasses and they really do help. I think the reduced light is one reason but another reason seems to be the bigger lenses which mean I don’t get a lot of unfocussed vision as I would do with my normal glasses. I sometimes wear them on cloudy days and also indoors. In addition to helping with Visual Vertigo, tinted glasses are said to help with migraine and epilepsy. I get the impression that the exact choice of colour varies from person to …

Glasses to reduce effects of flickering light

The yellow glasses sound like they’re for night time driving although I have read that some people disagree about their usefulness for that purpose. I believe the pink FL-41 tint mentioned in this thread was originally created for filtering out fluorescent light for people who are troubled by it. As FL-41 was developed over 20 years ago then it might not take into account the different light spectrum some more modern fluorescent tubes give out. I think it all depends on your own particular s…

Could you resend the links please? I use neurolens (used prisms before) and they seem to help a bit and now I’ve learned about axon and also f41 lenses (apparently they’re different and axon is the only one scientifically proven for migraines) and am contemplating trying those (though when I’ve tried tints in the past they only help with driving at night or maybe help a tad with the dizziness but I can’t function on them).

Thanks now I need to find a place that does colorimetry and neurolens and avulux:) but I feel like I did my own version of colorimetry with UC Berkeley’s opticians and binocular vision lab where we tried different tints in front of my eyes but they didn’t really layer the tints that much which seems like something that happens at colorimetry so I’ll ask around the Bay Area for colorimetry!
