I, Robbie Gean Miller am posting this as an additional resource for our community, based on personal experience. I have severe light sensitivity, which contributes to dysregulation and migraines. I bought a pair which helps with fluorescent lighting and LED headlights from other cars at night. This is not an official NAPS endorsement, and we are not sponsored in any way. Please consult your medical or vision care provider.
We are meeting tomorrow, June 6, 10:30-12:30 at Crievewood United Methodist Church: 451 Hogan Rd, Nashville, TN 37220. Please try to arrive on time, as doors are locked 10 minutes after start time. We hope to see you!
