Hi Ian.

 

After seeing you on TV the other night I was wondering how I would get an appointment to see you or anyone who could help my 14 year old daughter. She has AS and is very sensitive to light, she also says that words jump or run around on the page and cant read anything writen on yellow paper (something her teachers often do)

 

In the evening we have to sit with the lights off as she says they hurt her eyes or she puts a cushion over her face (my husband has the same problem) we say it's like living in a cave. It is hard for my other kids as they want to have lights on to draw etc. My daughter also suffers with migrains and used to take sanomigran (sp) but she had to stop as it was making her fat. (a side effect)

 

She did have purple tinted glasses but it made it hard for her to see properly, it did stop the problem with yellow paper and the words jumping but everyday wear was hard. She has no glasses at all at the moment.

 

Thank you for your time.

 

Viper.

Thanks Ian, thats a big help.

 

Hev Ian Jordan was on the documentry about the Jacksons, he fitted two of the boys with glasses that helped them enormously.

It sounds as if your daughter has similar problems with light and pain that I have.

 

I tried every rotten preventive treatment available to stop migraine.

The only one that did any sort of good was Epilim but that slowed my whole thinking process down.

I spent most of my time trying to find dark places to escape from glare and flicker. Even 5watt bulbs hurt if you have a glare problem.

 

I write as one who wished someone had pointed me in the driection of tinted lenses years ago. *all that time lost to pain arggh*

migraines respond best to specialised lights (even better than with lenses)

In general headaches and migraines that start in the temples / eye areas respond best and most will subside / stop within 2-3 minutes. Much faster and better than drugs!

What lights are recommended? You are spoilt for choice at the lighting section of an electrical store. There are so many different types of bulbs available including:

 

Daylight incandescent.

Various fluorescents including warm white, cool white, cool daylight, and triphosphor.

Low energy bulbs.

Tungsten halogen bulbs.

Plant growth bulbs.

sorry, the best lights vary from person to person. in general low frquency flourescent are worst but not always, daylight is usually better.

the only ajustable light suitable for all is the optimeyes - available on internet - can be adjusted to everyones best light type (it relicates retinal sensitivity)

it is not cheap and is only suitable as a task lamp or special purposes e.g. for stopping migraines
