Sunglasses are very good to block harmful blue light, that affects the progression of condition. You also can get apps to pop on your devices with screens to filter this out.
Any little helps as long as to keep the eyesight we have.
This is why you will see me on an overcast day wearing sunglasses.
The light is sometimes still too bright. Just enough to make my eyes feel uncomfortable and will probably bring me alot of pain via headache or eye socket pain later on.
This is something I did pre diagnosis.
During my consultant appointment last September (2019). He told me that I had photophobia due to my condition and probably always had been but didn’t think anything of it.
This is where your eyes are super sensitive to light.
It has probably got progressively worse as the dystrophy began to show itself to me, 5 years ago.
So, if you see someone with sunglasses on and you think they are either trying to be ‘cool’, don’t shout over… ‘It isn’t that sunny love’..
just remember, it maybe because they’re are protecting themselves from discomfort whilst out and about, and preventing themselves from alot of pain later.
