Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses

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

Do you have migraine?
Does light trigger or worsen you 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.

Nine out of every ten Avulux wearers report that they can resume their daily activities when they use the lenses.

How is Avulux different than other "migraine" glasses on the market?

Unlike other “migraine” or “neurological” lenses, Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses are clinically proven to help people living with migraine. Two independent studies have demonstrated that Avulux’s patented light filtering technology is superior to any others.

This is one of main reasons why we carry Avulux in our practice. We trust Avulux to help our patients manage the impact of light on their lives.

Why else do we recommend Avulux?

How Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses work

Up to 60% of migraine attacks are triggered by light.

Light overexcites melanopsin, a cell in your eye, and it can lead to migraine attacks and increased light-triggered pain.

Avulux's patented precision lens technology filters up to 97% of the most harmful, migraine-triggering light (in the blue, amber, and red light spectrum), while allowing in over 70% of soothing green light.

Now, that's precise.

How do you know if Avulux is right for you?

Start by speaking to Dr. Kimura. We are trained professionals who can identify 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, there is a strong possibility that Avulux is right for you.

This study's findings aligned with what the Avulux researchers found in their 2016 study. Avulux's engineers worked to refine a lens to prevent the wavelengths of light around the green band of the spectrum from entering a wearer's eye.

The Migraine and Photophobia Problem (also known as “light sensitivity”)

Photophobia Affects Most People with Migraine

Approximately 80% of people with migraine experience photophobia¹. It’s no mystery that light sensitivity is a major issue for them, yet the majority of treatments on the market do not address it.

A study conducted in 2016 had subjects with migraine placed in a dark room². The subjects were then intermittently exposed to varying colors of light (white, blue, green, amber, and red) and assessed for:

Intensity of their headache
Throbbing sensation
Muscle tenderness
Cephalic areas (areas on the head) affected by the pain.

Findings

The researchers found that white, blue, amber, and red light increased the subjects’ headache pain intensity, while green light was actually shown to reduce pain intensity.

Therefore, filtering out the specific wavelengths of light while allowing in green light may prove beneficial.
