Re: [Glimmer 'Colored Filter Glasses'] Light Seasonal Change   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #141 of 816 |
Hi,
I am very affected by seasonal changes in the sun's position and quality of
light. A migraine sufferer, I get about 15 migraines a month starting in August
and running through to May, with only about 5 a month from May to the end of
July. I believe it is partly the influence of Chinook winds here in Southern
Alberta, Canada, and partly the light coming in around my glasses. The angle of
the sun being different, and the light itself having a different quality, the
peripheral light seems to become more of a problem, also the glare of sun on the
snow could have something to do with it. My screener and I have been trying to
find something that would wrap around my glasses and block this peripheral
light, but no luck so far. Leather wrap-arounds are available, but just for
certain types of sunglasses. I could not find frames that blocked the light
coming in from around the lenses. Any ideas would be welcome. I have heard
that other people also suffer more from the light in winter months.

Hi Robin,

Nice to know that I am not the only one who suffers from the sun
seasonal change in light exposure :)

Hi Elizabeth, I agree...it is a risk to change the tint with something combining with it like laying other sunglasses over the tints. For me it is a negative...
