Migraine-Related Light Sensitivity Can Make Everyday Lighting Uncomfortable
For people living with migraine, ordinary lighting can sometimes feel overwhelming. Bright sunlight, office lighting, digital screens, and glare may contribute to discomfort.
This sensitivity to light is called photophobia. It can occur during a migraine attack and, for some people, between attacks.
Avulux lenses are designed to reduce the impact of light sensitivity associated with episodic migraine, offering a specialized eyewear option for eligible wearers.
Avulux Migraine Lenses Filter Specific Light Wavelengths While Allowing Other Visible Light Through
Avulux uses patented precision optical filtering technology to selectively reduce transmission of light in specific blue and red-amber wavelength ranges.
The lenses filter light around 480 nanometers in the high-blue range and 590 nanometers in the red-amber range, while allowing light from other parts of the visible spectrum to pass through.
This selective filtering is designed to reduce the impact of migraine-related light sensitivity without simply darkening everything you see.
Precision Light Filtering Differs From Ordinary Dark Tints
Traditional dark lenses reduce the amount of light entering your eyes across a broad range of wavelengths.
Avulux takes a more selective approach, filtering particular wavelengths associated with migraine-related light sensitivity while transmitting other visible light.
This makes Avulux different from ordinary sunglasses or standard tinted lenses.
Avulux Is FDA-Authorized for Migraine-Related Light Sensitivity
Avulux is an FDA-authorized optical filter intended to decrease the impact of light sensitivity in people aged 12 and older who have been diagnosed with episodic migraine.
The lenses are designed to complement usual migraine care, including prescribed medications. They do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent migraine.
Avulux Lens Options Let You Keep Your Preferred Eyewear Style
You don't need to replace your everyday glasses to consider Avulux.
We offer Avulux in three formats at all six locations, so you can incorporate light-filtering lenses into your eyewear in different ways.
Avulux Eyewear Lenses
Avulux lenses can be incorporated into eyewear as a dedicated light-filtering option. Prescription compatibility and frame suitability depend on the available lens configuration.
Avulux Clip-On Lenses
Clip-on options provide an additional light-filtering layer that can be worn with compatible eyewear.
They may appeal to people who want a separate option for periods of light sensitivity without replacing their existing glasses.
Avulux Fit-Over Glasses
Fit-over styles are designed to be worn over compatible prescription glasses.
This option allows you to consider Avulux light filtering while continuing to wear your existing eyewear underneath.
Avulux Lenses Are Designed for Use During Migraine-Related Light Sensitivity
Migraine-related light sensitivity can occur in different environments and at different times.
Avulux describes its lenses as an option for use when light sensitivity occurs, including during migraine symptoms or activities involving uncomfortable lighting.
The appropriate use depends on your individual circumstances and the manufacturer's guidance.
Avulux Migraine Glasses Are Different From Standard Blue Light Glasses
Standard blue light glasses generally focus on reducing selected portions of blue light.
Avulux filters specific wavelengths in both the high-blue and red-amber ranges while allowing other visible light to pass through.
Ordinary blue light glasses should not be assumed to provide the same filtering characteristics or intended benefits.
Its intended purpose is also different. Avulux is specifically authorized to decrease the impact of light sensitivity in eligible people diagnosed with episodic migraine.
