Calm & Clear Reviews

    Concussion


    The Calm & Clear glasses feel like a breath of fresh air when I put them. They have significantly helped me cope with a concussion and I plan to continue wearing them as needed. They help with visual and sensory challenges which allows me to feel like I can focus better on my day to day tasks. The glasses are such a conversation piece. I get stopped and asked about them or told how cool they look every day! I love them!! My only feedback for improvements would be the glare. I can see the reflection of my eye or sometimes glare from lights. That might just be me though because I only have vision in one eye so my vision is weird in general. difficulty perception question is n/a bc I do not have depth perception.

    A 14 year old patient came into the ED with migraine, had already tried her abortive meds at home and none were helping. She is on an advanced migraine management protocol with her neurologist requiring intranasal ketamine when her home meds don't abort her migraines. She trialed the glasses in the ED and had relief of symptoms - did not need ketamine

    One of the ED trauma nurses 34yo female had a migraine while on shift. She had already taken her migraine abortive meds and put ice on the back of her neck but was miserable with a migraine while at work. She wore the glasses for an hour and her symptoms were completely relieved. She was able to complete her shift and take care of her patients without migraine symptoms - feeling great!

  • Alyssa T 06/08/2026

    To minimize light stimulation during computer usage, headaches, driving, and migraines.


    I can often reduce the chances of a headache becoming a migraine with the use of my calm and clear lenses.

    These glasses saved my career and my life!

  • Casie S 06/08/2026

    Diplopia related to RRMS


    Reflective coating on the inside of the glasses makes them difficult to see out of clearly for daily tasks. This is the primary reason I did not use them more than roughly an hour/ day.

  • Melinda H 06/08/2026

    Visual deficits following concussion and later a stroke.


    Wearing Calm and Clear allows me to tolerate sunlight, fluorescent lighting and computer screen light. I put them on and they allow me to drive, work on a computer and improve my ability to work in a busy environment. I also see benefit in reducing anxiety, headaches(including migraines), severe eye strain, and improving ability to concentrate. I even can enjoy Television programs without feeling irritated and increased ease of using a cell phone to read emails, social media and text with friends. I never want to take them off! It’s like I can be a part of the world again without being overwhelmed, stressed and overstimulated

  • Kennedy D 06/08/2026

    Concussion symptoms


    Using Calm & Clear changed everything for me after my concussion. I knew as soon as I put them on I could not go without using them.

  • Lewis A 05/17/2026

    Military TBI


    My sleep is better. I fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer when I use them before bed.

    Combat Veteran - rolled over lots of things that went boom


    Absolutely life changing product that every veteran should have and be prescribed through the VA. Especially those like me who have been to combat

  • Matt G 03/13/2026

    I work in IT and I sit behind computer screen (and screens in general) for many hours every day. In the last few years my eyes have become very sensitive to this, I would get tears and problems related to the strain, and I developed multiple sties that had to be surgically drained.


    I think the Calm and Clear glasses are great, I wear them daily now, and I would recommend to friends that they purchase them if the glasses were available. They have decreased my eye strain and allowed me to stay on the computer and working productively for many more hours than I was able to before using the Calm & Clear glasses. I also wear them when just walking around the house during the day to decrease the light since my eyes are very sensitive wgk working

  • CJ C 02/04/2026

    I suffered several head injuries in the past and I was recommended to try them out.


    Since I've started using calm and clear my life improved greatly.

    Even when I'm in the middle of a horrible, debilitating migraine, when I wear my calm and clear glasses, I'm able to be functional. Without them, I'm bedridden.

    EJ hasn't asked to remove his glasses since putting them on in September '25

  • Terri Basile 09/03/2025

     


    I started off the bat wearing them all day and night. It caused eye strain and headaches. Bad headaches that I hadn’t had in a long time which caused anxiety. I think I would have had better success if I started off wearing them for a shorter period of time and got used to them. Perhaps maybe I wouldn’t have had such uncomfortable eye strain and headaches. After 2 days of not wearing the glasses I started to feel better. Took one week to get back to feeling how I did before the glasses. Wasn’t able to do any of my vision therapy exercises.

    Putting on Calm & Clear gives me instant relief, my entire body relaxes, and my mind quiets. It's like the world suddenly calms down, and it's glorious. My son has ASD and had the same experience, and he says that wearing them makes it easier to exist, and taking them off makes living a struggle again. My daughter, however, tried them several times and had to immediately take them off each time, because they made her panic and feel nauseous.

    Very happy with the results. I was able to increase time walking and looking in closets.

  • Anonymous 06/05/2025

     


    I didn’t wear them as much because it was a little uncomfortable and there were not many opportunities where there was a lot of sun or light. They are good for situation for sun or light, but I was not in those situations where there was a lot of extra light.

    I can’t believe how much the glasses have helped my brain calm down. It was being triggered by the tv and phone and kindle and computer. As long as I wear the glasses when doing this things I am no longer triggered. My brain feels so much better

    I love my glasses it’s like taking my eyes to a spa for a treatment. I can immediately feel my brain relax and I get immediate results when I put them on.
