I have sensitivity to light and sound when I get migraines.

I have severe lught sensitivity outside. I have sun glasses that have a red tint in them. I also asked my eye doctor if there were glasses I could use inside and he recommended rose colored glasses. The rose color dies down the intensity of the brightness of the light. Hope that helps.

Sunglasses. I have a pair that are dark enough to block the light but light enough I can wear them at work.

I was put on propanolol for migraines and it works great, and I also have migralieve for when I need. Might be worth a look

Yeah, the only thing that's worked for me is sunglasses. They only help a bit, but it's better than nothing!!

I have a pair, but they aren't super dark, so still hurts sometimes. My work does let me wear them at the window, and they are planning to tint the window too
