What makes Avulux lenses different from regular blue light or FL-41 lenses?

Avulux lenses are precision-tinted, multi-band filters that block blue, amber, and red light wavelengths while allowing soothing green light to pass. This selective filtering approach is unlike generic blue light or FL-41 lenses, which often use single-band filters.

Are Avulux lenses suitable for indoor and outdoor use?

Yes, Avulux lenses can be used in both indoor and outdoor settings, allowing users consistent light management with the same pair of lenses, making them a versatile option for those with migraines or photophobia.

Do Avulux lenses change how colours look?

Unlike many other tinted lenses, Avulux lenses are designed not to distort colours. They maintain natural colour perception, which enhances comfort and usability for wearers in all settings.

Can bad eyesight cause migraines?

There is no direct link, because the causes of migraine are complex. But eye strain, light sensitivity and untreated poor eyesight may make migraines stronger or more frequent. Some eye conditions, such as glaucoma (damage to the optic nerve), may also play a part.

Can I get migraine glasses with my prescription?

Yes. Migraine glasses can be made to your current prescription and to suit your eye health. Prescription photochromic lenses, which darken in bright light, are another option.

What happens at the appointment?

We start with a thorough eye check that goes beyond your vision, looking for early signs of eye health problems. Then we talk about your migraines and whether Avulux lenses suit you. If it has been a while since your last eye test, we can do that at the same time.

Who they are for

Who Migraine Glasses Are For

Migraine glasses are worth asking about if you have:

Poor eyesight that has not been corrected, such as squinting to read signs or small print, may also add to migraines. That is why we check your vision and eye health first.

Migraines Set Off by Light
Migraines that start or get worse with bright, fluorescent, colourful or flashing light.
Photophobia
Sensitivity to light, where ordinary light feels uncomfortable or painful.
Long Hours on Screens
A lot of screen time, which can bring on eye strain and headaches.
Frequent Headaches
Regular headaches or migraine attacks, with tired or strained eyes.

How they work

How Avulux Migraine Glasses Work

Shorter wavelengths of light, such as blue light, can trigger or worsen migraines, and amber and red light may too. Avulux lenses filter several bands of light at once and let soothing green light through. Avulux publishes these figures for its lenses:

90%filtered

Blue light

Shorter wavelengths such as blue light are thought to set off light-sensing cells in the eye, called ipRGCs (photosensitive retinal ganglion cells).

70%+let through

Green light

Soothing green light passes through while the other bands are filtered.

97%filtered

Amber and red light

Amber and red light may also make migraine symptoms worse, so the lenses filter these too.

Migraine glasses are not a cure. Our guide Do Migraine Glasses Work? covers the research and the options.
