What Is Migraine?
Migraine, a genetic neurological disorder, is not just another headache. It comes with many symptoms and one of those key symptoms is light sensitivity. Light is one of the most common triggers for migraine attacks. Historically, common migraine pharmaceuticals and medical devices never targeted light.
Photophobia’s (light sensitivity) literal meaning is ‘fear of light’. Rather than an actual inherent fear of light, photophobia symptoms commonly include:
- Individuals feeling pain through light exposure (or exposure to pain-triggering light)
- Individuals feeling an aversion or intolerance to light (meaning they can’t stand being exposed to light).
Here is a video explanation by the American Migraine Foundation that explains “photophobia.”
Lenses For Migraine And Photophobia
The Avulux® team created a migraine & light sensitivity optical lens that has been clinically proven through independent clinical trials. Avulux® precisely and effectively filters harmful light, which may help those living with migraine.
The reason why Avulux® is effective is that:
- It is the most precise and effective in absorbing the light that’s been found to have the biggest negative impact on people with migraine.
- It does not distort your color perception. You’ll soon forget you’re even wearing them as your vision adapts and colors remain vibrant and distinct.
- It is not too dark, so Avulux® migraine glasses will not cause dark-adaptation and it will not make you more sensitive to light.
Find Daily Relief from Migraine with Avulux® lenses
90% of Avulux® wearers find that Avulux® helps them through their days by effectively filtering light.
Avulux® Just Works
Up to 60% of migraine attacks are actually triggered by light.
Blue and amber light affect cells in your eye that secrete melanopsin, and it can lead to migraine attacks and increased light-triggered pain.
Avulux’s® patented precision lens technology filters up to 97% of blue, amber, and red light while allowing in over 70% of soothing green light, which may help people living with migraine.
Now, that’s precise.
