Week 35 of pregnancy and the ocular migraines got me. So after a visit with my doctor and an evaluation of my work life, we came to the conclusion that they were caused by screen time. Between radio show prep, blogging for the station, my personal blog, and social media my eyes were literally bugging out!
If you have never had an ocular migraine (consider yourself lucky), it's very visual and scary as hell the first time you get one. Your vision is distorted with what looks like fireflies or broken glass with rainbow edges that start at the center of your vision and slowly work it's way out. Luckily, I rarely get the headache pain that goes along with it, but it's just annoying enough to halt my day.
My doctor recommended to try blue light lenses and see if that helped before sounding a 4 alarm fire. I ordered these TIJN glasses online and they seem to be working. TIJN has frames for normal, wide, and narrow faces like mine. You do NOT need a prescription for their blue light filtered lenses and they protect against computer screens, smartphones, and sunlight.
Blue light lenses help fight eye fatigue, distorted vision, and headaches. I found the TIJN brand to be high quality with an anti-reflective coating and scratch-resistant technology. TIJN also offers sunglasses and prescription lenses that you can add the blue light feature too.
