Avulux lenses đź”— are specially designed migraine and light sensitivity glasses developed by neuro-ophthalmology and optics researchers. They filter out harmful light wavelengths that often trigger or worsen migraines, while still allowing in soothing green light that can help calm the eyes.
Light contains different wavelengths. Some of these wavelengths (blue, amber, red, and intense white light) can overstimulate the retina and release a protein called melanopsin. For migraine sufferers, this overstimulation makes them more prone to migraine attacks.
Avulux lenses have a unique multi-banded tint built directly into the lens material. This blocks 97% of migraine-triggering light while letting in beneficial green light. The tint is a subtle light grey, so your colour perception stays natural, and they’re comfortable enough to wear indoors.
Wear them at the first sign of a migraine attack to help reduce the impact or daily if your migraines are triggered by activities like extended screen time, exposure to fluorescent or LED lights, or glare.
Yes. Avulux lenses are available in:
- Prescription options:Â including single vision, extended focus, and multifocals.
- Non-prescription options:Â plano glasses and fitovers (which can be worn over your existing glasses).
No. One of the biggest advantages of Avulux is that they block the problematic wavelengths without altering your overall colour perception. You’ll still see colours accurately, making them practical for both work and daily life.
At Kellyville Optical, you can borrow our Avulux fitover trial glasses to test them in your daily routine. This way, you can experience first-hand whether Avulux lenses help with your migraine and light sensitivity before committing to a purchase.
Avulux lenses are a scientifically developed solution for people with migraines and light sensitivity. Whether prescription or non-prescription, they can help reduce the impact of harsh light while maintaining natural colour vision.
