Vision and Migraine
Many migraine sufferers have difficulty with glare and flicker. Examples include using a computer screen, supermarket lights, reading.
Where
the migraines have this
visual-perceptual element,
wearing a precision
tint, specific to the
individual, can have a
dramatic effect on that
person's quality of life.
One
client made the following
comment when collecting
her precision tinted spectacles
(NB she did not require
a spectacle prescription
to 'see better');
"It feels like my eyeballs are
'calm' for the first time
in a long time"
Visual
Stress and Presicion Tint
assessment (colorimetry)
is a specialist area of
optometry and is

Menzies.
