sunglasses to protect us from DP??

Hi,

It's a silly question, but actually when I put my sunglasses outside, even if I have bad DP/DR, I felt somehow "protected" like DR can't go worse. It's kind of a protection, I always have it outside because althought it doesn't make DR go away, I feel I can talk with anyone and they will not "notice" I have DP. Silly? :shock: I wonder if real glasses (inside) make the same thing. If yes, I will go buy some!

Ditto. I have prescriptions sunglasses and my regular glasses become darker when I go outside.

I dislike bright sunny days. As far as my theory on this goes, I think we are oversensitive to input of various kinds.

Per one research paper, or a few, DP/DR seems to involve "auditory, visual and somatosensory areas of the brain." Can't remember where I read that, but it's the God's honest truth. My hearing is overly sensitive as well.

I also actually like the fact that I have very poor eyesight. When the DP/DR gets particularly bad, I remove my glasses. The blur is of comfort as well. It is a sudden "change" that helps both distract me from the DP and put me in "control" to a small degree. The blur is comforting.

Best,
