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.

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.

Very disappointed that the sample of a contact lens had to be ordered but then couldn't be mailed to me (even with me paying shipping). You used to. I drive 1.5 hours each way. I will just find a local ophthalmologist.

Very confusing that I paid in full the day I dropped my glasses off to have new lenses put in. I paid 225 on my credit card and now I’m getting an email and a paper Bill both sent to my husband saying we owe the money I would think that would save you a little bit of time and money also for this not to happen.
