THANK YOU
"For the first time today I actually asked my son to turn the lights on in the kitchen for me while I was cooking. I haven’t said that in months.

Why Light Can Be Problematic After An Accident
People can be light sensitive for their entire lives, but for others it can come on all of sudden, especially after a life-changing accident or event. Even after the shock of the initial experience, the post-accident sensitivity to light can continue for months or years.3,4
Also, different types of lighting can also have a pronounced negative effect and greatly impact the daily functioning of survivors. Looking at a screen at work, walking outside on a sunny day, seeing flashing lights in a movie theater—they can a significant problem for those with this type of sensitivity.5,6
No matter where you are in this process, light management can be a critical part of your needs.
Light Management with TheraSpecs
The benefit of TheraSpecs glasses is in the specialized tint of their lenses. Each of our lenses is designed to target a unique spectrum of light and protect you from the light that may be giving you trouble.
TheraSpecs FL-Pro™ maximizes the filtering power of FL-41 to remove the most problematic wavelengths of light and protect you against computer and device screens, fluorescent lighting, LEDs and other artificial sources. Shop FL-Pro Lenses ➜
TheraSpecs FL-Blend™ also uses FL-41 and balances the filtering of irritating light with a less noticeable tint to provide meaningful protection against artificial sources like screens and fluorescents. Shop FL-Blend Lenses ➜
By reducing exposure to disruptive artificial light, both of these lens tints may help people to live well with migraine as part of a light management plan. We especially recommend them if fluorescent lighting is the culprit.
TheraSpecs Z-Blue™ is an alternative lens option for survivors who want to manage their exposure to visibly flashing lights and/or repeating patterns. This lens targets a different portion of the spectrum that may help general hypersensitivity to the environment. Shop Z-Blue Lenses ➜
Better than Typical Sunglasses
It is common practice for people to wear sunglasses indoors when they are intensely light sensitive, but research shows this can make you more sensitive over time.7 Since TheraSpecs target specific ranges of light, their lenses do not have to be as dark as normal sunglasses, giving you risk-free protection for any situation. Plus, we also apply the FL-41 tint on a dark, polarized and 100% UVA/UVB blocking lens for our FL-Sun™ tint—making them the best sunglasses you’ll ever own.
