Affecting approximately 4.9 million Australians, migraines are a common and often debilitating condition. They typically present with symptoms such as moderate to severe headaches, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound.
While there is currently no cure for migraines, effective management focuses on identifying triggers and reducing symptoms through targeted treatments and lifestyle adjustments.
Photophobia — or light sensitivity — is a prominent feature of migraines. For many people, exposure to certain types of light can worsen discomfort during an episode, making light-induced migraines particularly challenging to manage.
Understanding and addressing light sensitivity can play an important role in improving comfort and quality of life for those living with migraines.
Avulux® Migraine and Light Sensitivity Lenses offer a breakthrough solution for photophobia. These lenses can be worn during screen time, when experiencing light sensitivity, at the start of a migraine attack or aura, or even during activities that might trigger discomfort in bright lighting.
Avulux® lenses employ a precision optical filter with patented nanomolecular technology. The lenses selectively filter out 97% of the painful blue, amber and red light wavelengths, permitting soothing green light. This targeted filtration disrupts the neurological pathway responsible for transmitting larger electrical signals that lead to pain via the optic nerve. As a result, Avulux® glasses offer relief from light-triggered migraines.
We understand how disruptive and exhausting migraines can be — affecting your work, family life, and everyday activities. That’s why we’re proud to offer Avulux® Migraine and Light Sensitivity Lenses, an innovative solution designed to help reduce discomfort from light-triggered migraine pain and photophobia.
