Hi. In response to the questions regarding where to get blue glasses: 1. Tom Reiss I believe first started with small pieces of bright blue plastic from TAP plastics or one of the local suppliers. 2. I tried cellophane: First "report covers" and then "overhead projector transparencies"....check in your office supply stores. If you wear glasses anyway, just cut a piece to fit behind your glasses to see if you have any improvement in movement. 3. I next moved on to Bright Blue camera filters.....looking for something more durable than cellophane.....again plopping these behind my regular prescription glasses. 4. My next stop was to buy "blue glasses" from a street vendor in Amsterdam (by the way, he was wearing purple glasses at the time!). My daughter (the juvenile probation officer) tells me that these blue glasses are the ones regularly worn by cocaine users...................check with your local drug supplier for accessory purchases I guess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5. Finally, I went to the optician and got a dark blue tint on my prescription lens................I had tried to wait to get help, direction from neurologists, deciding that that would not be easily forthcoming I made the best of a good situation on my own. Later today I will put detailed information about the blue coloring from the optician............a couple of others have now gone to tinted corrective lens and maybe they will add their info. My one complaint is that my bright blue lens produce better improvement in movement than the prescription tint......which is a cosmetically better color....less color distortion in real life..........a dark sunglasses tint. If I had 90% improvement with the bright blue lens/cellophane/camera filters then I am probably at a 70-75% improvement with the standard tint (there is too much grey in this tint, but I need my prescription lens and the cost of custom tinting is a couple of hundred dollars.) Alan Bonander reports that his improvement with dyskinesia with the blue glasses is probably an improvement dealing with dyskinesia brought on by over medication. I do not suffer from dyskinesia from overmedication (or dyskinesia for that matter at all). My problem is more lack of movement or impaired movement..........I have exactly the same response to the blue glasses whether I am on or off on my mediations. Some mornings when I could not raise my arms to begin to dress myself, my husband will slip on my blue glasses and I am off and moving for the day in an instant.........take off the glasses and I am back to an immobile mannequin.
