TheraSpecs for Light Sensitivity after TBI or Concussion: 5 Success Stories

Written by Greg Bullock on 28th Feb 2017

Painful sensitivity to light after a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most commonly reported symptoms of people who experience a head injury. This painful light sensitivity—also known as photophobia—can continue for weeks or months after the initial trauma occurs and can be hard to escape without anything to protect you from the prevalence of harsh light sources such as fluorescent lighting, bright sunshine and glare. Light can also cause a TBI or concussion-related migraine attacks or headaches.

Some have turned to TheraSpecs glasses for photophobia and light sensitivity as one option for TBI and concussion relief; here are five inspiring stories from customers who have found renewed activities with TheraSpecs.

Adam from the San Francisco Bay area

"TheraSpecs indoor sunglasses are incredible! They are designed to filter out fluorescent light. I suffer from TBI, and I am extremely sensitive to indoor light—as are most people with TBI. TheraSpecs have brought me significant relief from the headaches and nausea that I experience when exposed to indoor light. The company is also very responsive and service oriented. They will even custom-fit their special optically coated lens to your own frames. If you have problems with indoor light, this is your best answer!" Read Adam's entire testimonial

Kelly from Ontario

“I ordered these glasses for my daughter who was suffering from light sensitivity and headaches from a concussion. She had just started university and was living away from home...My daughter found that the glasses really helped with the light sensitivity and headaches and still uses them when looking at computer and tv screens. She finds them soothing to the eyes.”

Sharla from Virginia

“I bought them for my daughter who has frequent headaches and sensitivity to light and sound (2 years post-concussion). She was thrilled with the comfort and style of her TheraSpecs.”

Joe from Brooklyn

“I fell in love with your TheraSpecs and I bought the Over TheraSpecs Indoor to help me with migraines...due to my Traumatic Brain Injury. Being on my MacBook Pro [for] many hours I started to get migraines. I didn't worry about it because I knew I was working too long with the screen. I was most concerned when I [joined] a bowling league and the lighting started to enhance the migraines. I came across your website and I had to buy one ASAP. After receiving them they truly helped me with working and bowling...I applaud you for creating these glasses.” Read Joe's entire testimonial

Lauren from Pennsylvania

“I ordered my theraspecs through the Ebay Outlet system to keep costs down. I wear my TheraSpecs everyday due to my post-concussion syndrome and post-traumatic headaches. They are a game changer.”
