TheraSpecs Give Carla "Instant Relief" from Fluorescent Light- and Glare-Triggered Migraines

Written by Matthew Hobbs on 16th Aug 2016

How do you spend your days?

I work in an aged care facility as an activities officer (I get to play all kinds of fun games with residents) and as an administration officer (receptionist) so I spend a lot of time interacting with people and on the computer. I spend my afternoons either at rehearsals for the local theatre group that I'm involved in or with family and friends.

How does your light sensitivity impact your day-to-day life?

On a day to day basis I am exposed to fluorescent lights, whether it be at work, rehearsals or even in my home. I had noticed that the fluorescent lights, glare from computer screens, and glare from outdoor light seemed to be causing most of my migraines, and I was at a loss as to what I should do about it. Before receiving my TheraSpecs I was often getting up to 3 migraines a week and this was causing me to miss various social events and a lot of work. I could even get a migraine from just walking into my own kitchen in the morning where the sunlight shines in the window.

What prompted you to try TheraSpecs?

I got to the point where I would try just about anything to help my migraines and I had figured out that most of them were somehow related to light sensitivity. I decided I would google it, I typed in ' migraine glasses' and one of the first results was TheraSpecs.

Which style of TheraSpecs do you own? Why did you select that style?

I own the Classic style of TheraSpecs, I chose these because I have owned similar glasses previously and thought they would suit my face and they do.

What else have you tried?

For my migraines I had tried changing my diet which had no impact on them, I had tried medication that had given me nasty side effects and I had bought some polarized sunglasses but they seemed no good to me as I could not wear them inside where all the fluorescent lights are.

How do TheraSpecs help you?

I get an instant relief from TheraSpecs as soon as I put them on, they stop so much of that nasty glare from computer screens, fluorescent lights, and glare from outside. I can attend all rehearsals now without the worry that I might get a migraine because the fluorescent lights seem to have no effect when I'm wearing my glasses. When I go to work and I'm on a computer all day I wear my TheraSpecs and at the end of it my eyes aren't as sore and straining as they used to be from the exposure to the bright screen light. I feel like I couldn't be without my TheraSpecs now.

Is there anything more you would like to share about your TheraSpecs experience?

The guys at TheraSpecs have been so helpful and amazing, they were in contact with me throughout the ordering process and always so kind, even after I received my glasses they have been in contact ensuring that I am happy with them. I'm from Australia and they shipped the glasses to me packaged wonderfully with not a scratch on them. I would gladly recommend TheraSpecs to my family and friends if they were struggling with light sensitivity, they are definitely worth every dollar I spent on them.
