Light sensitive and/or prone to migraines? Invest in eye shields this summer

[kestrell]

I didn't even know this was a thing, but there are all sorts of eye shields that filter out specific ranges of light that can cause migraines--there is even one that filters out fluorescent light. If you have these kinds of photophobia, you should also look into getting similarly-tinted light bulbs. Do these look as steampunk as the description sounds?

Eh, to me it looks more Matrix than Steampunk. Like, this 100% stepped out of some kind of creepy cyberpunk g-man future.

Cooo-el! I really wish these had been around when I had biological eyes--though, on the other hand, superdark blues shades have always been more my style.

These have heavy black plastic frames and dark green lenses, so maybe not that far?

Agreed that the Xwrap ones are more Matrix, with a very 1990s vibe and of course the green is kind of techy. The Migralens ones to me look more 1970s. Both have a lack of hard edges and a very clean look with almost no ornamentation, which conspire to make them not at all steampunk despite the fact that the color of the lenses themselves would go well in a steampunk aesthetic.
