Wow, I'm so glad you found a solution that works for you. I don't get seizures but absolutely hate those flashes on shows and in movies. DH laughs at me because I close my eyes when Big Bang Theory comes on. I can't take the motion coming toward me. And I refuse to watch that Oak Island show because the flashes are thru out the show. I'll tell him to just tell me what happened. Enjoy your movies.

It’s wonderful that you found a solution to your problem watching movies in a theater.

What a thrill! I’m so happy for you! And if anyone adks about your big irange goggles, you can tell them all about how the technology has given you this gift if seeing movies again! And it might even be whatcsomeone rlse needs to hear to pass along to someone else with seizure disorder.

What a wonderful thing for you. I love movies. And there's nothing like going to a movie even though now most of mine are at home. Happy for your good fortune.

Walmart. Here in the Willamette Valley, they were &19.95.
I wore them over my glasses that have transitions, so I am not sure how much was the glasses or the glasses with transitions and the glasses...

Try it. I am going to try and watch Queen concerts on YouTube with them.

I have macular degeneration. I found that an 'orange' sheet of acetate placed over my laptop screen really makes working on the computer a whole lot better. BIG difference - less eyestrain. I am going to give these glasses a try. Thank you Madamekelly for sharing.

thank you for sharing this--our DIL has a seizure disorder and while meds keeps it in check mostly, some things like lights can really set it off. So my question is did you get the darker sunglasses or the yellow,night vision ones?

I bought the darker ones. Please save your receipt in case they do not work for you. That is what I did.
