Epilepsy glasses, specifically those with colored lenses, can help prevent seizures in some people with photosensitive epilepsy. The most effective lenses seem to be the Zeiss Z1 deep blue lenses, which eliminated photosensitive seizure responses in 76% of people and reduced responses in 18% of people in one study. Other colored lenses like brown or blue lenses may also help reduce seizures. If you have photosensitive epilepsy, discuss trying epilepsy glasses with your neurologist. They can help determine if glasses could be beneficial for you, guide you in finding the right lenses, and evaluate their effectiveness by having you track seizures with and without the glasses.
