BRADDELL FL-41 Rose Fit-over Glasses with FL-60 Interchangeable Lenses for Migraine Light Sensitivity and Fluorescent LED Glare (Large)

Awesome buy and high quality
1. I've only had these about a week, but I have to say that I've hardly taken them off, day and night. I have chronic daily migraine and don't know if they are helping with the migraines yet, but I do know that my eyes feel better, less strained. I was very surprised by this as I had put off buying any FL41s for years because I couldn't imagine that looking through this weird "amber-pink" color would be as soothing as looking through dark gray or blue, but I think it may be.2. I often - somewhat dangerously - find myself wearing my sunglasses at night while driving because headlights on country roads are killer! These are proving to be a much safer substitute. I would say they are slightly dangerous in that they do cut out some of the light, but if you're like me and it's almost impossible to drive at night without some level of tint, these are a must. I will probably order another pair as back-up.3. I was really impressed with the quality of the glasses, and wash & inspect them everyday. So far no scratches at all.4. They are very lightweight and comfortable. I normally wear them over my glasses but they fit fine on my face without them too. I wear petite or kid's size glasses (even though I am a woman) and these look a little too wide on my face but they're ok and give kind of a "snow skiing in Aspen" cool look.5. I was surprised to find that a very high quality hard-sided case came with them! It has a zipper and belt hook. I read that TherSpecs, which cost much much more, don't even come with one! I would value this case at about $5 if you tried to buy it separately.6. Many are buying these to help with sleeplessness due to too much screen time late in the evening, and I am not finding that they have helped me so far despite wearing them virtually every waking minute, but it may be too early to tell. Not enough data yet.7. These are so reasonably priced - dare I say underpriced? - that if you are on the fence about them, I would say order them because it's not much to invest to give them a try. The tag on them says FL41, so assuming the labeling is correct, I don't see how these should be any less effective than TheraSpecs. I've looked at the TherSpecs website and they claim theirs are "25 times more effective than other FL41's" but don't cite any studies, data or reason why, so it seems like it might be a baseless claim. I guess the proof is in the pudding and the smartest thing would be to order one of each and try them out side by side!Best of luck to all and may you find some relief from your suffering and pain!

Helpful for migraine sufferers
I was contacted via a migraine sub on Reddit to review one of the products and I chose the fit-over glasses version with FL-41 & FL-60 lenses because I wear glasses and have frequent light sensitivity.A note first - when switching lenses, they pop out the front with a reasonable amount of pressure. The set came with a nice hard sided case and a lens cloth to keep things clean. There's also a bag for the lenses you're not using.I can be inside with drawn drapes and still have light sensitivity. These fit great over my glasses & the FL-41 lenses noticably diminished the pain. I've tried other "migraine" glasses and not had such a good results.I tested both lenses outside midmorning on a sunny summer California day when I was feeling tender but not with a full migraine. Right now they both seem about the same for their effect.My one suggestion would be to add a side shield option and an ANSI version of both lens types. The side light if you have to drive is a menace!

Nice case
The media could not be loaded. These come with a nice hard shell zip up case, soft cloth bag and a cloth bag for the extra lenses. The frames are pretty sturdy and wide enough to wear overtop my reading glasses but not too big so I can wear them alone also ( I don’t wear regular glasses). I got these as recommended by my neurologist for migraines, it’s too soon to tell but I think they are helpful. The only issue I noticed is the lenses don’t fit the frame completely. There are gaps around the edges since I haven’t tried them outside yet I don’t know if this will let light shine in which would defeat the purpose of them. I do not notice any issues when wearing the FL-41 pink lenses inside ie. on the computer. Overall reasonable price

I like them!
I love these glasses for my migraines! I have large glasses that I need to wear to see, and these cover them completely, which I’ve had such a hard time finding sunglasses that do that! I specifically use these glasses when I’m in the car and the sunlight is coming through the trees, creating a flashing light pattern that is sure to give me an awful migraine. They’re also great to use when I’m outside, and being able to swap the lenses for more sunglasses-type ones is nice too. I will admit, it’s a bit difficult to change out the lenses, but I didn’t buy them for that purpose, so it doesn’t affect me much.They live in my purse now, and have prevented many a migraine. The case they came in is nice and sturdy, with a cleaning wipe, and two protective pouches for both the glasses and the extra set of lenses.

Lenses good. Fit ok not great.
I like them. They work well. But they don’t always line up with the curvature of my glasses so it takes some a maneuvering to get gem to fit. Amd the arms have started breaking off all the time. You can snap back on ..: but how long before they really break?

Can step out again when its sunny!
This is a big deal if you have Migraines and sensitivity to bright lights.I first heard about these glasses on the news when Simon Cowell wore them, andthen learned more through Reddit migraine forums.After years of struggling, I can now walk in bright sunlight without worrying about a migraine.These fitover frames are lightweight, comfortable, and fit perfectly over my regular glasses. The FL-41 and FL-60 lenses are easy to swap and have made a huge difference. They also reduce glare from fluorescent and LED lights. If you have light sensitivity, these are a must-try. Wish optical stores offer this as magnetic clip ons or as a lens tint option.Highly recommended for anyone looking to reclaim their day.
