What color tint in glasses is best for epileptics
Wed, 01/03/2007 - 16:54I was wondering what triggers everyone else's seizures. Mine seem to be triggered colors or things I look at. Example, print, computer, lights, sometimes a deja vu feeling when I look at something. Does anyone have tints in their glasses, and if so what color helps them?

Sorry I haven't responded. I haven't been on-line here for quite awhile. I do appreciate your response though. I'll have to look that up. Thanks again.

You might be interested in an article in the British scientific journal ‘’Seizure’’, December 1999, which looks into the subject (no pun intended!). The article is titled ‘’Treatment of photosensitive epilepsy using coloured glasses’’, by Arnold Wilkins et al. You can access it online at www.sciencedirect.com but you will need to register first. If you have difficulty doing so I can copy it to you. Chris
