Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses
Avulux lenses filter selected wavelengths of light and are designed for people whose migraine is triggered or worsened by light. Our optometrists can help you decide whether they suit you.
Quick guidance
- If light bothers you
- If light triggers or worsens your migraine attacks, Avulux lenses may help you stay functional during episodes.
- If migraines are frequent
- If you experience several headache days per month along with light sensitivity, talk to one of our optometrists about whether Avulux is right for you.
- If you have tried tinted lenses
- Avulux filters specific wavelengths rather than darkening everything evenly, and lets most green light through.
Who this is for
Do you have migraine? Does light trigger or worsen your migraine attacks?
You're not alone.
Millions of people around the world have migraine disorder. And as many as 90% of those people experience light sensitivity during a migraine attack.
Up to 60% of migraine attacks are triggered by light.
That is why we offer Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses.
How Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses work
Not all light waves are the same. Research on migraine and light sensitivity has found that some colours of light worsen symptoms more than others, and that green light is the least likely to.
Avulux lenses are designed around that finding. The manufacturer states they filter up to 97% of blue, amber and red light while letting through up to 70% of green light.
How do you know if Avulux is right for you?
Start by speaking to one of our optometrists, who can assess whether Avulux would be an appropriate part of your migraine toolkit.
If you experience several headache days per month along with other migraine symptoms, and you're sensitive to light, Avulux may be worth discussing at your visit.
