SomniLight Red Migraine Glasses

I can go outside on a clear day again. What else can I say?

I have never left a product review, but I feel compelled to share my experience to help others like myself. I have been a migraine sufferer for most of my adult life. I gave up on medications, because I hate the side effects and they never offered any noticeable pain relief anyway. After much research, I decided to give eyeglass light therapy a try. I purchased these SomniLight red migraine glasses and also the SomniLight rose migraine glasses SomniLight FL-41 Light Sensitivity Glasses.Often, I’ll wake up early in the morning with a full blown migraine. If I wear these red glasses for 20-30. minutes, it will subside into a mild headache. Without the glasses, a morning migraine will leave me incapable of just about anything for many hours, but with them, I’m able to function almost immediately. Even though the pain generally subsides before I even walk out the door, I continue wearing them during my drive to work. The morning sunlight flashing through the windshield used to intensify my headaches. The red glasses are dark enough that the almost strobe light effect of the sun is eliminated. These glasses are really too dark to read with so once I get to my desk, I switch to the FL-41 (rose lenses) glasses and then I can work all day on my computer screen without issue. I love the rose lenses so much that I continue to wear them on the computer even when there is no sign of a headache. Eye strain is reduced and they just feel good.I know not all migraines are the same, so light therapy may not work for everyone. As for me, it changed my life.

I have suffered from migraines for about 20 years. Since insurance only pays for 4 pills of my Rx med a month, I'm trying to find alternative relief methods. I wore these at work shortly after a bad headache started hoping to prevent it from turning into a full blown migraine, and I'm mostly pleased. When they're on, I feel almost total relief within a few minutes. The one downside is I can't stand looking at the computer monitor with these on. They're just too dark and I strain to focus (which could exacerbate the issue). I'm disappointed in that regard as I hoped these would help me to continue working.I plan to get some glasses with FL-41 lenses to allow me to continue working, but will use these when I have a migraine at home.I'll add they came with a VERY nice hardshell padded case.

I stare at screens nearly every day, nearly all day, and I have sensitivity to light and the occasional migraine. These really help when I work on computers and my eyes don't feel nearly as tired. I don't recommend them for driving because it throws off your color and you may not see taillights so well. But, if you have issues with light and you work on computers, then I highly recommend them.

Rarely do I write reviews but these provide zero relief. I was totally ready to bypass the sport-look and wear these at work just so I could start making it through the day without the torture of a migraine but holy crap! These made the lights 10× brighter and just escalated the problem. Definitely do not look at a computer screen either, it was both blinding and canceled out most things on the screen. The only positive was the case they came in. Overpriced and useless, will be returning.
