WITHOUT FEAR
"I got diagnosed at 10 w/ migraines...It was so bad that I couldn’t be outside if the sun was out no matter how dark my glasses were. Fast forward to 5 years later and you won’t catch me without my TheraSpecs on! I can go outside now without fear of a migraine."

Why Is Sunlight A Concern for Many People?
Research has shown that specific wavelengths of light between 480-520nm cause the most problems for people who are sensitive to sunlight. Sunlight is exceptionally high in these wavelengths—it can emit 250 times of these wavelengths as artificial light—which can make it too bright even for people who don’t have a health condition.1
It is no surprise then that people with migraine and headache disorders, post-concussion photophobia, and other conditions repeatedly cite bright sunshine as a trigger for their symptoms.2 Even people without a light-sensitive disorder may find they need more protection outdoors than standard sunglasses can provide.
For many, light management has become a leading strategy in their overall wellness and protection plan.
TheraSpecs for Sunlight Management
The best sunglasses are more than just dark lenses. By adding FL-41 to a dark lens, TheraSpecs FL-Sun™ target light at specific wavelengths between 480-520nm.
TheraSpecs FL-Sun lenses perform better than prominent eyewear brands at the most critical wavelengths (including protection from outdoor blue light).3 Even other FL-41 products do not match the properties of TheraSpecs sunglasses, making TheraSpecs the best sunglasses for outdoor lighting. That extra protection can make all the difference for you and your needs.
TheraSpecs sunglasses also feature polarized lenses, anti-glare coating, and 100% UVA/UVB blocking. Polarization helps eliminate reflective glare and increases the darkness of the lenses, while maximum UVA/UVB protection cuts down on non-visible ultraviolet light that can be disruptive.
Lastly, we offer frame styles to block light from above and the sides to reduce sun exposure, and all TheraSpecs are as lightweight as possible and add flexibility to minimize pressure on already-sensitive heads.
All these factors combine to bring you protection when you’re outdoors.
TheraSpecs FL-Sun comes standard with Dark+ strength. And if those aren’t dark enough, we also make TheraSpecs FL-Sun UltraDark+ to filter even more harsh sunlight. They are so dark that they are not suitable for driving, but are excellent for other outdoor activities.
TheraSpecs Sunglasses:
Protect against harsh sunlight
Filter more problematic wavelengths than typical sunglasses
Minimize glare with polarized lenses and anti-glare coating
Block 100% of UVA/UVB light
Are great for a variety of outdoor activities
