"I Wear Them All The Time Now"

I’ve always had headaches but the past 7 1/2 months I’ve had a headache or a migraine pretty much every day. I found this company that makes glasses specifically for this reason. They are called TheraSpecs and I cannot stress enough how much they have helped me. I wear them all the time now and have them in indoor (FL-Pro) and outdoor (FL-Sun) lenses. If you suffer from headaches or migraines check them out for some relief!

"You Can Trust They're Legit"

For those of you who don’t know, I’ve suffered from migraines my whole life. TheraSpecs makes glasses which specifically target the light which triggers migraines for many people. I have personally found them to be very helpful and recommend checking them out. Also what’s cool about TheraSpecs is that they have been scientifically proven so you can trust they’re legit.

"The Frequency of My Migraines Dropped"

Light sensitivity was terrible for me. LED, fluorescent, or even bright light bulbs. I found myself getting migraines more frequently. I tried TheraSpecs after I [did] some research. Science backed and highly recommended, I thought I would give them a try. I noticed the difference almost immediately. The frequency of my migraines dropped. The pain when I did get one was reduced. I can now actually enjoy using my phone or being on the laptop. I cannot thank TheraSpecs enough for all the work you do.

"No More Hiding In The Dark!"

When I took this pic I was about to drive to the grocery store but had a terrible migraine, so why was I smiling you might be asking? Well that’s because I was wearing my new TheraSpecs glasses. I wasn’t feeling any pain behind my eyes for the first time during an attack! I felt an instant calming effect. I was actually able to shop without feeling like the fluorescent lights at the store were melting my brain! These special glasses are extremely cute, high quality and super comfortable. Definitely a great tool to have in your Migraine Tool Kit!

Barb's Review

"They Really Work"

My eyes are extremely sensitive when I have a headache, and may even perpetuate migraines. My husband encouraged me to purchase glasses that my neurologist suggested may help my eye pain and sensitivity. I was skeptical, but figured they couldn’t hurt. The moment I put them on, I was extremely surprised at how soothed my eyes felt. Then, the more I wore them, the less sensitive my eyes were, and the less my aura progressed into actual migraines. I ended up ordering the outdoor (FL-Sun) lenses as well, and wear both pairs daily (depending on what I am doing) to alleviate my eye pain. They really work.

Dean's Review

"I Bring Them Everywhere I Go!"

After developing severe vertigo (and a whole other host of symptoms) I was finally diagnosed with vestibular migraine. I have been a law enforcement officer in Canada for 7 years, and at the onset of my symptoms I was unable to work. Some days I wasn’t even able to get out of bed! I ended up getting a set of prescription Conrad TheraSpecs and they help immensely...I bring them with me everywhere I go! I just want to thank TheraSpecs for helping people like me out in getting on with our lives and not letting these disorders get the best of us!

Michelle's Review

"I Noticed The Difference Immediately!"

I have battled migraines for 40 years, with multiple triggers. I noticed about a year ago that every time I got in my car (even with polarized sunglasses) or was at my office, I could feel one coming on. I started researching online and sure enough, I found out that light (especially fluorescent) can trigger migraines. I decided to give TheraSpecs a try. I noticed the difference immediately! As long as I wear them in fluorescent/bright light, I no longer struggle to beat back a migraine. I still have my other triggers, but this has helped a lot. Thank you!

Hanna's Review

"I Knew They Were For Me"

My photophobia basically feels like sandpaper on my eyes from the moment I wake up. I decided to give TheraSpecs a go in June 2019, and they pretty instantly made my eyes feel better. After 3 days, I knew they were for me. When I let a friend with a migraine wear them, she sighed and said, "it's like a holiday for your eyes." When I take them off, it's pretty instant return of discomfort. I know my photophobia and migraines are related to stress, and the glasses are a relief when stress is high. But I wear them all the time, since almost any light bothers me these days.

Marina's Review

"Light Does Not Hurt"

For me summertime means spending a lot of time outside with the kids! Whether we are in our butterfly garden, playing in the backyard, or in the pool, the sunshine is always following me around taunting me with its rays. Unfortunately light sensitivity is one of my migraine symptoms. ⁣I have been using TheraSpecs outdoor (FL-Sun) glasses for about a month now and love that when I wear them, light does not hurt when I am having an attack. I can spend time outside during a migraine attack and be there with my kids. No more sitting indoors and hiding from the sun!

Faith's Review

"Making A Difference!"

The past few weeks I’ve been giving TheraSpecs a try to see how they help my light sensitivity with migraines and even just day to day, and they have definitely been making a difference! Days that would’ve left me stuck doing nothing I have a little more relief from my symptoms and able to do some more because of TheraSpecs! The ones in the first slide are the FL-Sun lenses, which are very helpful as someone who is super sensitive to sunlight, they’re darker and polarized!

Tori's Review

"A Truly Life Changing Product!!"

I got diagnosed at 10 with migraines. At 25 I got diagnosed with a rare brain condition that made them worse than ever. It was so bad that I couldn’t be outside if the sun was out no matter how dark my glasses were. Then a neurologist told me about TheraSpecs. My life changed so much after that. Fast forward to 5 years later and you won’t catch me without my TheraSpecs on! I can go outside now without fear of a migraine. These glasses are made for migraine sufferers! Thank you so much TheraSpecs for a truly life changing product!!

★★★★★ Perfect for migraine sufferers
I suffer from migraines and when I started working at an elementary school I started getting them more often. I came to the conclusion that it was because of the old, fluorescent lights since I have a light sensitivity. Ever since I started wearing these I haven’t had a migraine at the school. Not a one! I like that these are slightly curved [around] the eye. I feel like that helps a lot. They’re very lightweight, too. I’m so glad I have these as an option. They are lifesavers!!

★★★★★ Wish I bought these sooner
I’ve owned these for 4.5 months now, after originally buying a least expensive pair from a different brand and immediately returned them. You really do get what you pay for and I should have bought these first. What a difference they’ve made with my light sensitivity with my migraines. I have avoided big box stores for years now, I haven’t been in a mall in 11 years, because the lights made me feel so weird, like I could fall over. Over the last few years, that weirdness turned into weirdness and an immediate migraine. I now bring these with me to stores and put them on before going in them and I’m perfectly fine now. Don’t drive with them on, because you won’t see the street lights properly. I wear these at home too. Certain lights, like the ones in my dining room are just horrible. I’ll put them on to prevent and to help treat my migraines. I was a little unsure about how I’d look in them. Usually [I] wouldn’t wear this shape of glasses, but they looked most like my style out of all the options. Turns out I really like the way they look and I’d totally buy another pair like this. I recommend to everyone.

★★★★★ The best company to do business with!
I love them. As in, I wish I could go back and order these months ago when I first heard of them. I was being cheap and didn’t think I really needed them, didn’t think they really worked, etc. I had every excuse you could think of- all to save myself $100. Then I got covid. And my monthly migraines became daily. For about 3 months, I was dealing with a headache every single day. I was looking for every possible solution I could try. I got started on a preventative medication. Didn’t seem to help. Tried supplements. Helped a little, but still getting migraines on a weekly basis. So, finally decided to try these. I started wearing them outside and in place of sunglasses. It was only when I removed them did I realize how relaxed my eyes were with them! I realized that sunglasses were actually making my photophobia worse! But these didn’t! I don’t feel like I have to wear these all the time. I wear them when I’m driving or going to be outside for extending periods or staring at the computer for a long time. I wear them when there are other potential triggers about (like changes in barometric pressure, etc) and combined are going to cause me problems. Do they work? I have to say, YES! And since they come from a company that really seems to care about their customers- I have to say they are worth every cent!

★★★★★ Migraineur since 4 years old - never knew what I was missing
I have had migraines for thirty years. I've tried everything. Have spent thousands of dollars on treatment. I wish I would have bought these glasses four years ago when I first stumbled across the product! When the package arrived, I already had a migraine. The instant I put the glasses on, the best way I can describe what happened is as if my eyes were able to breathe a sigh of relief. I knew I had sensitive eyes, but I hadn't realized that my eyes are almost constantly strained. These glasses have not been a magic cure for migraines, but they have increased my quality of life immeasurably! I do believe they have prevented many migraines already, and they significantly make my day to day life more comfortable. I have been recommending them to everyone who deals with sensitive eyes or migraines.
Jim, Amazon Review, Audrey TheraSpecs

"I suffer from migraines, and these are a special, high quality, FL-41 tint glasses to block the specific type of light that triggers photophobia in migraine sufferers. They are not sunglasses, which do not work as well for migraines. They are well researched, superior technology for migraine sufferers, and I wouldn’t be without them anywhere. They help me tremendously! I am able to enjoy things today that a year ago, before I had these, I could not, as I would have been confined to a dark room, and miserable. There are a lot of other brands who make glasses for migraine sufferers, but I specifically wear TheraSpecs because after tons of research and trial and error, I have found them to be the best in quality, value, effectiveness, customer care, and aesthetics. I hope this helps someone out there who could use some relief!"

"Before TheraSpecs I struggled with severe light sensitivity, ocular migraines, visual disturbances, patches of vision loss, and headaches. All of my work is done on the computer and I’m also a gamer, so eye strain is a frequent problem too. I have extreme reactions to fluorescent lighting, so spending any time in my office or the store was miserable. It was embarrassing to have to wear hats and sunglasses to prevent the myriad of symptoms the lighting caused, and it didn’t really help much anyway. After comparing various blue light-blocking glasses and other FL-41 lenses I decided to try TheraSpecs and I’m so glad I did! They have provided tremendous relief and allow me to function without the fear and dread of recurrent symptoms. And as a cherry on top, the Audrey frames are the most attractive frames on the market!"

"I received this item 30 minutes ago and I’m already in love. So, when I first put these on, they feel brighter than they are. It’s important to let your eyes adjust with them on and hopefully you’ll see the difference when they’re off and proof of why they work for migraine and daily persistent headache (in my case, anyway). I also have a pair of glasses from axon optics and they are a lighter tint. They tend to cause irritation on my [eyes], and I don’t think there’s enough of the filter. Seems more aesthetically pleasing. [TheraSpecs] feel so comfortable on my face! Like a soft velvet eye mask that I can see through!"

It's also important to note that TheraSpecs offers a wide variety of lens options and strengths to help combat migraine attacks and related symptoms that are triggered by light. This includes:
