Here's The Touching Reason Simon Cowell Wears Orange Glasses All The Time

Simon Cowell is known for his razor-sharp critiques on “Britain’s Got Talent,” but lately fans have been staring at something else, his orange glasses. It sounds like a fashion choice until you notice how often he’s wearing them, right there in the judge’s chair under bright, flashing stage lights.

Here’s where it gets complicated, because Cowell admitted the real reason himself. He said he missed two auditions at the end of one filming day, about two weeks ago, because migraines hit after long hours in the lights. Then he posted a picture of his glasses and basically wrote, “PS. This is why I wear these glasses!”

Now the internet isn’t debating style anymore, they’re connecting the dots between those colored lenses and the chronic migraine triggers from “BGT” nights.

Why Simon Cowell wears orange glasses all the time has been questioned by fans and he has revealed why

That’s when fans started pulling up old clips, like the moment Cowell sat in his judge’s chair with those orange lenses during another round of auditions.

Then a Twitter user jumped in with the exact claim that colored lenses help with light sensitivity, pointing straight to Cowell’s on-screen routine.

"For anyone concerned, I missed two auditions at the end of one day, two weeks ago, because I do get migraines after long days in the filming lights," says Cowell. "PS. This is why I wear these glasses!" he wrote next to a picture of himself wearing the glasses while sitting in his judge's chair. Bright, flashing, flickering, fluorescent, or colourful lights can also trigger migraines in certain people. In order to alleviate photophobia, migraine glasses are made to filter out or block specific light wavelengths.

There are numerous options for migraine glasses with various lens kinds and tint levels, such as rose/pink or more neutral green-grey/light grey.

And suddenly all the “Why does Simon Cowell wear those pink glasses?? #BGT” posts made sense, because the glasses were part of the migraine story, not the outfit story.

Although the specific type of glasses Simon wears is unknown, fans have commented on the occurrence on social media.

One Twitter user wrote: "Some glasses have coloured lenses because they help with light sensitivity. If you watch BGT, you'll see Simon Cowell wears orange lenses glasses for the very same reason."

Another added, "Saw Simon Cowell in an interview say he wears the red lens glasses as they help minimise his chronic migraines."
