Tinted glasses 😎

I just got my first visual migraine and my eyes have felt weirdly sensitive to bright or flickering lights ever since. Anyone have any tips for preventing them from starting or helping my eyes/brain go back to normal? Obvi I’m looking away/changing my surroundings but it is spooky to think something could just trigger one and it is very inconvenient! I would love to have some things in my pocket to help if they exist and I have a feeling having some sense of control will help lower stress levels/make them rarer too.

Ugh solidarity! I started getting visual migraines a few years ago. It often started at the computer, so I went to the optometrist and got some reddish tinted glasses. They make a real difference. I got some other kind of cool ones to wear in spaces that are too brightly lit, or at the movies when my eyes hurt. They really help!

And also my migraines largely stopped when I switched to a much less stressful job so… Do with that what you will.
