"These have been life changing for my brain injury and chronic migraines. They are also super light weight and comfortable. The fit is amazing and I am an extremely hypersensitive person so this is really saying a lot."
"My new glasses are so comfortable, I can wear them all day, every day! I can finally go into stores without worry of an instant headache from the fluorescent lights. Seriously, buy these!"
