Migraine is a genetic, neurological disease and it affects more than one billion people worldwide (14.7% of people). It is the sixth most disabling disease in the world, according to the World Health Organization. Migraine is commonly misunderstood to be a simple headache. There is no cure for migraine disease, and a severe, throbbing headache is just one symptom of a migraine attack. People with migraine experience migraine attacks (or migraine episodes) that can be triggered by various external and internal factors. While researchers continue to research and understand migraine disease, the only option for people with migraine is to manage symptoms and triggers.
Specific wavelengths of light have been shown to trigger migraine attacks and worsen migrainerelated headache pain. Since 2010, research has identified specific culprit wavelengths of light, leading to a new hypothesis around how to effectively manage light sensitivity in people with migraine.

Avulux lenses precisely absorb the harmful wavelengths of light in the blue, amber, and red spectrum while allowing in soothing green light.
The Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lens uses a patented nano-molecular technology to selectively filter harmful wavelengths of light while allowing soothing green light through.
This precise filtration targets wavelengths that
induce melanopsin activation; and,
generate larger electrical signals that can lead to pain via the optic nerve. Wearing Avulux lenses before and during any exposure to harsh light may help those living with migraine.

We recommend that people living with migraine and light sensitivity wear Avulux to manage and reduce the impact of light on their daily life.
