Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses
Avulux is the only clinically proven lens for people living with migraine and light sensitivity.
Light can trigger a migraine attack or make one harder to get through. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone.
Migraine affects approximately 15% of the world’s population, and as many as 90% of people living with migraine experience light sensitivity.
Up to 60% of migraine attacks are triggered by light.
That is why we offer Avulux lenses.
Wearers report that Avulux helps them stay with what they are doing on migraine days, when light would otherwise make it hard to keep going.
How Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses work
Not all light waves are the same. Light in the blue, amber and red spectrum cause photosensitive retinal ganglion cells to release melanopsin. Put simply, for people living with migraine this can trigger a migraine attack – or make it worse.
However, light in the green spectrum is soothing.
That’s why Avulux engineers developed a lens that precisely filters up to 97% of the most harmful blue, amber and red light while allowing in up to 70% of soothing green light.
How is Avulux different than other “migraine” glasses on the market?
Unlike other “migraine” or “neurological” lenses, Avulux is the only clinically proven lens for migraine light sensitivity. Avulux has commissioned two independent clinical trials, including a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing Avulux lenses against clear lenses in subjects with episodic migraine.
This is one of the main reasons why we carry Avulux in our practice. We trust Avulux to help our patients manage the impact of light on their lives.
Why else do we recommend Avulux?
- Lens-Based. Avulux works through the lens itself. There is nothing to charge, refill, or replace.
- Superior Color Accuracy. Avulux lenses don’t distort color perception. No pink, yellow, or blue hue. Avulux’s neutral color enables you to manage light comfortably without affecting your quality of life.
- No Recurring Costs. Once you’ve paid for Avulux, they’re yours for the lifetime of the product. No subscriptions or other monthly costs.
- Indoors and Outdoors. Avulux can be worn indoors or outdoors, alongside your usual care for episodic migraine. Its use should not alter your medication.

How Avulux lenses work
Not all light is the same. Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells in the eye contain melanopsin, a pigment that makes them especially responsive to light. For people living with migraine, light in the blue, amber, and red range can trigger an attack or make one worse.
However, light in the green spectrum is soothing.
That’s why Avulux engineers developed a lens that precisely filters the most harmful blue, amber, and red light while allowing in soothing green light, delivering 2x better light quality than conventional light-filtering lenses.
- Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses are designed to precisely filter wavelengths of light that have been found to be most harmful to people living with migraine and light sensitivity. It is important to note that the device is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any health conditions, including but not limited to migraine, headache, or vestibular disorder.
- Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses precisely filter wavelengths of light that have been found to be most harmful to people living with migraine and light sensitivity.
- Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses filter up to 97% of harmful blue, amber, and red light while allowing in soothing green light – without distorting the wearer’s color perception.
- Research shows that Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses are more likely than other types of glasses to help people living with migraine.
- More than 80% of people living with migraine are affected by light sensitivity, and light can either trigger or worsen their migraine attacks.
- Scientists at Avulux spent more than eight years on optical engineering and clinical research to develop this patented lens.
- Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses have been clinically proven through an independent third party that conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing the benefits of wearing the Avulux lenses versus clear lenses on subjects with episodic migraine.
- Real world experience shows that 90% of Avulux users find they can resume their daily activities while using Avulux lenses to manage the impact of light.
Avulux lenses precisely filter harmful blue, amber, and red light while allowing soothing green light through, delivering 2x better light quality. FDA granted De Novo classification to Avulux, as an over-the-counter Class I medical device. Avulux is available in single vision, progressive, or non-prescription options.
Avulux is for people affected by light sensitivity, you may be a candidate for Avulux if you:
- Ask to dim the lights, or keep sunglasses on indoors
- Point to screens, fluorescent lighting, or bright sun as what brings on or worsens an attack
- Describe glare, flicker, or harsh lighting as a daily trigger you plan your schedule around
- Already have a migraine care plan in place, but still lose time to light
