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 got a cheap pair of the orangest non-prescription glasses I could find that weren't straight sunglasses and it took me from crushing headaches when I get home from work to mild discomfort by the end of the day. The only problem is they can make color perception a bit difficult (greens/blues, yellows/whites), but it's workable for the most part. My eyes adjusted and I can still tell apart most things and anything that I can't, I can take a quick glance w/o them. One thing to keep in mind though: they reflect blue light so you might want ones with blinders / wear normal sunglasses if you're outside, since having the sun behind you can reflect it right into your eyes. They look a bit goofy but I'd take looking goofy over physical pain

There are also orange clip ons that can go on existing glasses. If they have this kind of coating for prescription lenses though, I'd definitely get them
