Hello Lily and Levi,

I would try putting a cap with a brim as well as the sun glasses you have
now, i remember an old lady here where i live that always wore what i called
horse blinders. little things that stick out the sides of the horses head so
they don't look sideways i wonder if you could put some thing like this on
his glasses might help.

but this old lady wore those things all the time because the light
bothered her eyes when she was out side.


the hat must have a dark underside to the brim to reflect the light and this
might help him. I wonder if you could find some thing like welding or safety
glasses small enough for him they are great because they have sides on them
and don't let in much light at all. Before i got my irlen filter glasses
this is what i had to wear because going out side for me was sheer torture
so i understand what you are going through with your son my children both
have the same thing i do and both have thier irlen Filter glasses which
helps alot and mine are older as well so i could have them tested.

Could you go to the eye Dr and ask them for some thing that might help ?
they may even be able to make some thing for him.
