Avulux Lenses for Migraine & Light Sensitivity

Avulux, the only clinically proven lens for people living with migraine and light sensitivity.

About Migraine and Light Sensitivity

Do you suffer from migraines? Does light trigger your migraine attacks or make them worse? You’re not alone. Migraine affects millions of people worldwide, and for many of them, light sensitivity is a significant part of the equation. In fact, research shows that up to 90% of people with migraines will experience sensitivity to light during an attack, and about 60% of migraine attacks are triggered by light.

Nine out of ten people who wear Avulux report that they can resume their daily activities when they use the lenses.

What Are Blue Light Glasses at Maine Optometry in Brunswick, ME

Why Choose Avulux Lenses?

Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses stand apart from other “migraine or “neurological” lenses on the market because they are clinically proven to help people living with migraine. In fact, two independent studies have shown that Avulux’s revolutionary light-filtering technology is superior to others on the market. That’s why we carry Avulux in our practice and trust their patented lenses to help our patients manage the impact of light on their lives.

More Reasons Why We Recommend Avulux:

  • No Side Effects – Avulux’s clinically proven lenses are designed to precisely filter light, helping migraine suffers without any negative side effects.
  • Superior Color Accuracy – Avulux lenses don’t distort color perception – no pink, yellow, or blue hue. Avulux’s neutral color enables you to manage light comfortably without affecting your quality of life.
  • No Recurring Costs – Once you purchase Avulux, they’re yours for the lifetime of the product – no subscriptions or monthly fees.
  • Enjoy the Activities You Love – Avulux can be worn both indoors and outdoors, and even used as a complement to your migraine wellness regimen.

How Avulux Lenses for Migraine & Light Sensitivity Work

Not all light waves are created equal. Light in the blue, amber, and red spectra can activate photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, causing them to release melanopsin. For those living with migraines, this process can trigger or intensify a migraine attack.

However, in contrast, light in the green spectrum is soothing and has a calming effect on the eyes.

To address this, Avulux engineers developed a lens that precisely filters up to 97% of the most harmful blue, amber, and red light while allowing up to 70% of soothing green light to pass through.
