Best spectacles for raised eye pressures

[Dorset22]

I wear varifocals and usually get one pair with ordinary non-tinted lens and one pair reactolite. I also have a pair of prescription sunglasses which are just for distance. I am due to go to Specsavers for an eye test. Is it better to have plain or reactolite lens for raised eye pressures? I am currently using daily Monopost drops.

Hello. Some people find reactolite glasses a better option as many people are more light sensitive when they have glaucoma. Alternatively you can look into wraparound antiglare glasses.

All glasses do have a coating to protect from UV but reacolites are better as they react to the light/ brightness. Light does not affect the eye pressure but protecting eyes from UV rays whether a person has glaucoma or not is very important.
