Doctor Recommended

I bought these on the recommendation of my eye doctor, as light sensitivity has played a big part in migraines for me. The MOMENT I put them on I relaxed, as did my eyes and brain. I wear them when I am fatigued, working on the computer, or in a migraine cycle. Getting a migraine is no longer so upsetting or constricting! I’m more confident, active, and relaxed. Thank you! I’ve recommended them to quite a few friends and acquaintances.

Better Than Sunglasses

I got my first pair after I got sick of wearing my sunglasses when I got a migraine. Wow, these are amazing they truly keep the light that brings on my migraines away from my eyes. I have ordered more. Wear them whenever I watch TV or computer ! Thank you

Highly Recommend

These glasses have really helped with my migraines especially since light sensitivity is one of my main triggers and I can definitely tell the difference between these and a normal pair of blue light lenses or sunglasses. I feel like I’m still able to do things with a migraine when I wear these. I’m also glad that the tint doesn’t look super dark when I wear these...I’m super happy with my glasses and would definitely recommend trying them out if you get migraines.

The Gap in Migraine Care

49% of migraine patients say light sensitivity is their most bothersome symptom. More than nausea, and more than pain intensity. Yet most practices offer no dedicated solution for photophobia.

Avulux changes tha. When patients ask if anything else can help, you'll have a clinically proven answer.

With 96% of wearers reporting decreased light sensitivity and 93% able to engage more fully in daily activities, the patient outcomes speak for themselves.

Migraine Sub-Specialty Need

Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses are the first sub-specialty I’ve come across since myopia management that checks all the boxes: there’s a huge need, plus it’s rewarding and profitable.

Dr. Julie Helmus, OD

An Incredible Innovation

When those patients hear I might have new options to help them face their debilitating symptoms, they often shed tears of joy. They may feel like they are beyond help or their symptoms are not taken seriously. It’s amazing to see their whole disposition change.

Reduces Visual Stress

When we came across Avulux, it looked like a promising option. We decided to trial it with patients who hadn’t found solutions for their migraines. For specific groups, we saw that Avulux reduced their visual stress. That, in turn, helped resolve or relieve their light-induced migraine symptoms.
