I know there is some variation of opinion about red lenses within the Achromatopsia community but I thought I would share this little experience from yesterday.
Charlotte is finally old enough to start to make proper decisions and communicate them in ways that I can understand. We ventured out in bright sunlight, she was already wearing her third tier pair of sunglasses, her off-the-shelf Julbos. She seems to like wearing them indoors, she often goes and finds them for herself (and calls them her "special brights"). I suspected that she can't see as well with these as her Moorfields pair with prescription and custom tinted lenses (her "school brights"), so I stashed these in my bag as we walked out the door.
As soon as we stepped outdoors, I could feel her hand grip me tighter and her steps get smaller and more tentative. The difference between that and her ususal behaviour was remarkable. I stopped her and made her try on both pairs of glasses before choosing which to wear. She didn't want to experiment but quite quickly settled on the prescription lenses and we set off as normal.
