I'm not sure how effective it is. Wasn't going to try her's on. I'm up for free glasses, so will "look" into it.

Speaking of special glasses, I recently tried out some Avulux migraine glasses, and I was both surprised and impressed by how well they work. As the name suggests, they are glasses that have been clinically proven to mitigate the effects of migraine, and are certified by Health Canada as a medical device to help relieve migraines.
For me, these Avulux glasses don't necessarily prevent migraine since my migraines typically aren't triggered by light (although some people do). They also don't necessarily get rid of the migraine when it occurs. However, for me, these glasses definitely dial down the severity of the migraine by a couple of notches, and that alone is already HUGE because it could mean the difference between me being able to continue functioning in some discomfort, versus having a migraine so debilitating that I need to go lay down in a quiet, dark room. Essentially, I'd say they shift the severity of my migraine to the easier side by some amount, and that is already a God-send.
If you or any of your close family and friends suffer from migraine, I'd strongly encourage you to ask them to look into this.
