sun exposure and sunglasses

By jdg467 Sunday, May 23, 2010

i'm interested in knowing if other MS patients have a sensitivity to sunlight and if so what if any type of sunglass lens type have you found more beneficial to block out as much sunlight coming into your eyes.

hi there - i have been diagnosed with Clinically isolated syndrome.. one of my lesions has caused one pupil to be a bit larger, double vision all the time and nystagmus - yes sunlight or florescent light can really bother me and can totally throw my balance and depth percention off too. I haven't looked for special sunglasses but wear regular sunglasses even on overcast days usually now. I do find that i need ones that wrap a bit to cover even the sides of my eyes.  because even light coming in the sides can be too much. p.s I'm just turing 45.  if you find some sunglasses that work well for you, let me know!

I know this thread is old but I am on the same quest myself. I have different sized pupils, nystagmus, dizziness and double vision due to my M.S.

 

Anyone know of anything regarding sunglasses? I thought I heard that either blue colored lenses or lenses that block blue light can help. Anyone?
