FL-41 Glasses, Any users here? (lemmy.world)

I'm planning on trying out some FL-41 coated glasses for my next pair. They are meant to help migraine sufferers manage their light sensitivity, but I wonder if they might be effective for managing my own light-related sensory issues.

Anyone here try them?

I didn't realize there is a version recommended for autism. Is it the 'blended' style?

Yeah, i have light sensitivity issues so for my needs i went with the Blend. Blend+Loops is my go to combo to turn the intensity down on the world without fully blocking out anything. Otherwise it's headphones.
