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 donā€™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 person but I imagine (justguessing) that colour is not a great deal. Some specialist opticians use ā€œcolorimetryā€ to help match the right colour tint to you but this is relatively expensive. (A few hundred pounds here in the UK.)

He was about 163 years old so I thought, ā€œhere we goā€. I laid down the law in brief bullet points for him: Iā€™ve got a dreaded condition called MAV ā€¦ did myself in over the weekend by not sleeping correctly for two nights in a row ā€¦ hate SSRIsā€¦ -Wexan --- _[View the full topic](https://mvertigo.org/t/sunglasses/3567)._
