TheraSpecs® Photophobia Glasses for Light Sensitivity Relief
Learn how TheraSpecs lenses provide protection and relief for photophobia, or light sensitivity, associated with numerous conditions like migraine and brain injuries.
If you’re one of the millions of people who live with photophobia and light sensitivity, and/or have symptoms that are triggered by light, TheraSpecs® photophobia glasses can provide the protection and relief you need. They are therapeutically tinted to filter the wavelengths of light that can negatively affect photophobia, regardless of cause.
As a result, TheraSpecs can help improve migraine, brain injuries (including concussions), and dozens of other light-sensitive conditions; they can also reduce the negative effects of triggering light sources, such as computer screens, fluorescent lights, LEDs, general blue light, and bright sunshine.

GET THROUGH MY DAYS

What is photophobia?
A person with photophobia has a strong intolerance to light, which can cause intense pain. Photophobia literally translates to “fear of light,” but it is actually a neurological condition that stems from how receptors in the eye communicate with the brain. In the medical profession, it more broadly refers to painful light sensitivity, which can be associated with many conditions, including migraine, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-concussion syndrome, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, and many others.
Exposure to many types of light can impact your health significantly and trigger or worsen photophobia; fluorescent lighting, LEDs, computer and device screens, and sunlight are especially troublesome. All these light sources are particularly high in harmful blue light, which research shows causes the most pain response in people who are sensitive to light.
The most effective way to reduce light sensitivity is with the use of special photophobia glasses that filter the harmful wavelengths present in many common sources of indoor and outdoor light. TheraSpecs® are the best glasses for light sensitivity, blending therapeutic lenses with stylish and protective frames. TheraSpecs offers a variety of lenses that maximize the effectiveness and clinical support of FL-41 glasses, each of which block the bad light to provide natural photophobia relief for light-sensitive eyes.
In addition, TheraSpecs are nearly 2.5 times more likely to improve sensitivity to light when compared with other therapeutic eyewear, including over-the-counter blue light glasses, as reported by patients.1 Plus, they are a safer and more effective alternative to wearing sunglasses indoors, which is a common practice among people with photophobia and can actually increase light sensitivity over time (known as dark adaptation).
Here are the lens options that TheraSpecs offers for photophobia and light sensitivity:
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.

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 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.2 They tame bright sunlight and harsh glare, making them the best sunglasses for photophobia you’ll own.
