Since I was a pre-teen I have struggled with migraines. I
would be overcome with nausea, dizziness, and what felt like supersonic hearing
and aversion to lighting. For years, every time I walked into one of the local
stores, I would have a migraine and be very ill by the time I left the store. I
told my mother over and over again that my eyes felt funny, and that everything
was flickering. I would struggle with the shadows on the road near areas with
trees, flickering, or the sunlight flickering from beyond an obstruction. In
school I was never happier than when the lights were off and we could work
peacefully. I enjoyed the night time as a peaceful break from the sunlight,
often working out, or socializing after the sun went down. As a young adult, I
started to realize that my aversion to bright lights, clubs, and concerts was
not normal in comparison to my peers. I hated going places where lights flashed.
I often would turn down social events due to the lighting, or leave early once
recognizing that the lights would trigger a neurological meltdown (migraine)
for me.
I kept hearing about a pair of glasses that would help
alleviate the stress on my eyes and the flickers in the florescent lighting. As
I was still in graduate school I decided to save my pennies. Once I ordered
them (the stellas by Theraspecs) I was so very happy that I had taken the time
to save my money. They are worth every penny! The stores and other places that
I had avoided are now open again for me to explore. Hospital lights are less
strain on my eyes, and most importantly my place of work is more comfortable.
The glasses literally relax my eyes, and shield them from those flashes and
bright lights that used to trigger migraines. I carry them with me wherever I
go, and I’m not afraid to wear them if the need be. I was at first self-conscious,
but when talking with others, they often ask if they can try the glasses on to
see what they are like! They are great quality, and even me who normally
destroys sunglasses has kept mine nice for about a year now.
The glasses have been a life-changer for me. I have never
felt so very loyal to any product I have bought. For those who struggle with
lights, this is a product that cannot be passed by!

I have not been paid for this story- I was inquiring about my bent glasses (freak accident with my rear) and they asked about my story! :)
