Glasses with blue lenses

Post Reply New Topic

My daughter was prescribed light blue lenses on Saturday. The tests were very revealing and it's quite clear that certain colours seriously affect her visual perception and, quite remarkably, her concentration. It also explains not just her love of the colour blue, but her complete obsession with it. We're hoping that these glasses will help her.

My glasses I've had for 7 years now (amazin they haven't broke yet) are not prescription but were designed for night time driving to reduce glare and are light blue tint and OMG they help so much day and night, but sadly they have light scratches which cause the light to scatter a bit so not as effective anymore, I need to buy some plain white toothpaste so I can try that method to fix em.

I have been wearing the blue blockers since I first found them in 1982.
I keep thinking people mean blue blockers when they speak of 'blue sunglasses' but it is apparent that I am incorrect.

When the sky is green instead of blue I untense quite noticably, can even give occasional glances directly at the sun without damage.
Reading is more clear, but TV sucks as it takes out all the blue phospors.

I have a sad room (seasonal affective disorder) and the room is adjustable as far as light spectrum goes. My body seems sensitive to the light as well as my eyes. Wearing the blueblockers in the room with full blue and ultraviolet levels does an awesome job on my attitude.
Turning the blue and ultraviolet down to where the glasses are not needed does not accomplish the mood changes I seek.

Make of this what you will. On Friday, my daughter came out of school with a 'successful learner' certificate, for excellent maths work last week. This is only the 2nd certificate like this she's had since she started school and the teachers don't give them out willy nilly, so it's a big deal. My daughter is in the middle group for maths. Minus the concentration difficultues, she would be in the top group, as she doesn't struggle with the concept of maths. But, her concentration means that she doesn't get much done and she isn't even expected to do as much as the others in her group. The teachers give her a sticker, if she gets less than half done. I asked her to tell me why she got the certificate and I was flabbergasted at her response. She's been completing her group's work (which she never does), doing the extra work that some in her group manage to get on to, moving on to the top group's work and doing the extra work that the top group gets as well. And she's been finding it easy, getting it all correct, whilst noticing kids in the top group struggling. She thinks it's because of the glasses.
