TheraSpecs: Behind the Lens with Laurel

Written by Hart Shafer on 16th Dec 2014

Behind the Lens features TheraSpecs’ customers and their journey – what brought them to TheraSpecs and how they find relief from eyestrain, headache, migraine, and overall light sensitivities. Today we are sharing Laurel's TheraSpecs experience, which she emailed us about recently. She says,

"Good grief, I cannot believe it has already been a few weeks since I ordered these! I am a chronic migraineur (over 50% of days) who recently broke her own record with a 12 day migraine. That's 12 days of constant throbbing and pain. I had two pain clinic infusions, chiropractic work, and took dozens of pills to stem the pain, and none of them eliminated it.

"I bought TheraSpecs online because I was desperate and figured there was no risk with the money back guarantee. They came within 2 days of ordering—day 12 of my migraine. I slipped them on and within 15 minutes I noticed the pain subsiding. In 30 minutes, my headache was gone. GONE! Gone for the first time in 12 days! I am floored. I have always known my migraines are often light induced and exacerbated, but I never considered specialty glasses. I figured that my sunglasses were the best I could do.

"I have been wearing your glasses 80% of the time since my 12 day episode. I have had 1 short migraine day, and several tiny starts of migraines that are aborted almost immediately upon wearing these glasses. My quality of life has improved dramatically. A friend also said they make me look like Bono from U2, so big bonus there! :D

"So, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

More than 90% of people find relief with TheraSpecs, but usually only those who have light as their primary trigger see changes as sudden and dramatic as Laurel's. While relief from painful light sensitivity is often immediate, migraine frequency tends to go down over time.
