Light hypersensitivity: Has anyone tried "migraine" or colored glasses for it? (lemmy.world)

If you have, how well has it helped? Did different colors, such as those driving yellow tinted ones, help more? I have some transitions glasses, but that only helps outside. I saw on at least one site rose colored migraine glasses and am thinking about getting a pair.

I will jump on here and also suggest trying to see if ibuprofen or advil will work for you.

I have had debilitating migraines as well since around 10 years old. Can't see the dead center of my vision when one starts and then within 15 minutes I get the sparkles that begin to cloud my vision.

If I take Aspirin during that time, it can stop my migraine. I found this out much later in life, after experiencing the horrible pain and vomiting. My doctor has since prescribed me a chewable form of Zolmitripan if it gets worse and I end up vomiting all day.

The lighting in your room can also affect the migraine symptoms. LED light flickering at bad frequencies also triggered migraine.
