Avulux Glasses

Are you regularly experiencing migraines? Migraine is a neurologic disorder that often causes a strong headache. These intense headaches can cause a multitude of symptoms like pain, nausea, or even a discomfort with light, known as photophobia. A migraine headache often begins as a dull ache and grows into throbbing pain. It usually gets worse during physical activity. The pain can move from one side of your head to the other, can be in the front of your head, or can feel like it's affecting your entire head.

Currently, there is no cure but there are a few treatments that can alleviate the discomfort temporarily. Did you know that migraines affect over one billion people worldwide? That’s why experts managed to come up with a powerful tool for managing the discomfort caused by migraines. Migraine glasses are quickly emerging as a necessary tool for survival in the digital age. We carry one of the best-known migraine glasses brands, called Avulux. At For Eyes, you can consult with our optometrists who will help you determine the type of glasses that best suits your needs.

Avulux Glasses were created at the University of Utah, backed by independent studies and developed over many years by a neuro-ophthalmologist, Dr Charles Posternack. The Avulux lenses filter out specific wavelengths of colour in the visible light spectrum. Blue light, as we know, can be a trigger and strain the eye. The Avulux lens filters out short-wavelength blue light and longer-wavelength amber and red light allowing only “soothing green” to reduce irritation. During screen time, and any time you are experiencing heightened photosensitivity, and mostly during migraines. Also, recommended for other potential triggers, such as fluorescent lighting.
