Adventures with Migraine Glasses

This summer has been unusually hot and bright, which hasn’t been good for my light sensitive Migraine Brain. Although I have managed to keep the migraine count down low, it has come at the cost of living like a mole for most of the summer.

I broke down in July and bought two pairs of migraine glasses to try. They block out most of the blue light frequencies that trigger migraines or make them worse. Unfortunately, they both took their sweet time getting here and it was well beyond my martial arts grading prep and grading to be of use during all of our extra practices. I would have been willing to pay extra to get them sooner. Alas, USPS was my only option (and I like them less than Canada Post).

That’s neither here nor there. They have arrived and I am testing them out. So far, so good. Do check out my vlogs below and check my channel for updates:

Axon Optics Cover RX Migraine Glasses

I am so relieved that the Axons arrived first. Am I ever glad I sprung for the transition lenses, so I don’t have to worry about switching back and forth from inside to outside. I rarely go out without them.

The Cover RX glasses set me back $220 USD.

Somnilight Light Therapy Migraine Clip-On Lenses

As much as I’d like put the Axons aside for a week to test these exclusively, Migraine Brain is reluctant to do so. The Axons have the peripheral lenses on the arms, which I find an absolute must outside.

So far, I’ve been using the Somnilight clip-ons when I feel eye strain at the computer. The case and lenses are so slim that I have taken to carrying these in a pocket, ready to slip on whenever needed.

The Somnilight lenses are $79.99 USD regularly but they are currently on sale for $39.99 USD.
