What customers are saying

HIGH QUALITY FL-41

HELPS ME GET THROUGH
"I’ve been suffering from an eye condition for almost 7 years now called floaters...The only thing that really helps get me through and ignore the floaters is these nifty lil glasses from TheraSpecs. The relief the tinted outdoor lenses bring me compared to any other pair I’ve tried is incomparable. Not to mention they are pretty damn cool looking."

Not All FL-41 Glasses Are Created Equal
The FL-41 tint is more than just a lens color. It is designed to target specific wavelengths of light (480-520nm) that research has shown to be the most harmful for photophobia and light-sensitive conditions.5 They filter more of this harmful light when compared with typical blue light glasses and other therapeutic eyewear too. As a result, glasses with FL-41 are a top recommendation by medical professionals for light sensitivity and other symptoms that are triggered or worsened by light.
TheraSpecs offers four FL-41 lens options to meet your needs, each of which are therapeutically-tinted and verified to block these triggering wavelengths.
TheraSpecs FL-Pro™ maximizes the filtering power of FL-41 to remove the most harmful 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 triggering light with a less noticeable tint to provide meaningful relief for symptoms brought on by artificial light. Shop FL-Blend Lenses ➜
TheraSpecs Flex is the lightest FL-41 lens we offer and is designed for people with mild light sensitivity to screens and other artificial sources and/or those who need protection while driving at night. Shop Flex Lenses ➜
TheraSpecs FL-Sun™ embraces the benefits of FL-41 by applying the tint to dark, polarized lenses that block more than 92% of the most harmful wavelengths.6 They tame bright sunlight and harsh glare, making them the best sunglasses you’ll own. Shop FL-Sun Lenses ➜

Designed for Maximum for Relief
TheraSpecs frames are designed specifically for people with light-sensitive disorders, such as migraine, post-concussion syndrome, and numerous others.
