Find Relief with Avulux Lenses at Drs. Leahy & Disalvo-Ost
Don't Let Migraines Keep You in the Dark
If you're one of the many people the world over that suffer from migraines, you've likely also experienced the light sensitivity, or photophobia, that often comes with them. Exposure to certain light wavelengths—specifically blue, amber, and red—can often trigger or worsen migraine attacks, leading many individuals avoiding bright environments or staying in dark rooms until their migraine goes away. If your migraine-induced light sensitivity impacts your daily activities, including work, social interactions, and screen use, Avulux lenses may help.
What Are Avulux Lenses and How Can They Help?
Avulux lenses use patented multi-band light filtration technology to reduce light-induced migraine symptoms. They filter up to 97% of harmful blue, amber, and red light while allowing soothing green light to pass through. This selective filtering reduces light-sensitivity in the eye, helping to prevent or alleviate migraine episodes.
Unlike generic tinted glasses, Avulux lenses are designed specifically for migraine and light sensitivity relief. You can still see true-to-life color while wearing Avulux lenses, so that you can go about your daily activities and enjoy full visual clarity.
Avulux lenses are available in both prescription and non-prescription options, making them accessible to a wide range of individuals.
Clinical studies show that Avulux lenses reduce the frequency and severity of light-triggered migraines. Making Avulux lenses a part of your daily routine can help you experience enhanced comfort and a reduction in migraine-related disruptions.
