Do you have migraine? Does light trigger or worsen your 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.
Not all light waves are the same. Light in the blue, amber and red spectrum cause photosensitive retinal ganglion cells to release melanopsin. Put simply, for people living with migraine this can trigger a migraine attack – or make it worse.
However, light in the green spectrum is soothing.
That's why Avulux engineers developed a lens that precisely filters up to 97% of the most harmful blue, amber and red light while allowing in up to 70% of soothing green light.
Start by speaking one of our optometrists. 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.
