Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses

Helping You Feel More Comfortable in a Bright World
For many people living with migraines, light is more than just an annoyance—it can trigger or worsen symptoms. Bright sunlight, LED lighting, computer screens, and even everyday indoor lighting can make it difficult to work, drive, read, or enjoy daily activities.

At Slabtown Eye Care, we're proud to offer Avulux® Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses, the first and only clinically proven spectacle lenses designed specifically for people living with migraines and light sensitivity.

What Is Light Sensitivity?
Light sensitivity, also known as photophobia, is one of the most common symptoms experienced by people with migraines.
In fact, more than 80% of people living with migraines experience light sensitivity, and exposure to certain wavelengths of light may trigger or worsen migraine symptoms.

Common triggers include:
✔ Computer screens
✔ Bright office lighting
✔ Sunlight
✔ LED lighting
✔ Driving at night
✔ Glare from reflective surfaces

How Are Avulux® Lenses Different?
Unlike traditional tinted glasses that simply make everything darker, Avulux lenses are designed to selectively filter specific wavelengths of light that have been associated with migraine and light sensitivity while allowing more soothing green light to pass through.

This patented technology helps improve the quality of light reaching your eyes while maintaining comfortable, natural color perception.

Avulux lenses are designed to:
✔ Selectively filter wavelengths associated with migraine and light sensitivity
✔ Preserve more soothing green light
✔ Maintain natural color perception
✔ Be comfortable for everyday wear
✔ Be available in your prescription

Clinically Proven Technology
Avulux lenses were developed through more than eight years of optical engineering and clinical research.
They are the first and only clinically proven spectacle lenses evaluated in an independent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study for people living with episodic migraines.
Research has shown that Avulux lenses are more likely than conventional clear or tinted lenses to help people living with migraines manage the impact of light.

Who May Benefit?
Avulux lenses may be a good option if you:

• Experience migraines triggered or worsened by light

• Frequently wear sunglasses indoors because bright lights are uncomfortable

• Find computer screens difficult to tolerate

• Experience light sensitivity even between migraine attacks

• Avoid certain environments because of bright lighting

They can also be paired with premium anti-reflective coatings to further reduce glare and improve visual comfort.
