Migraine Management

Migraines are debilitating

Migraines rank among the top causes of disability worldwide. While a cure is still out of reach, there are several effective methods to help manage and reduce symptoms.

The prevalence of migraines

Globally, more than 1 billion people experience the challenges of migraines, impacting approximately 14.7% of the population. In the U.S. alone, migraines affect over 47 million individuals. These headaches most commonly occur in adults between the ages of 18-55, with women experiencing migraines at an increased rate (1 in 3 compared to 1 in 5 for men).

Common migraine symptoms

• Sensitivity to light (Photophobia)
• Severe headaches
• Nausea and vomiting
• Sensitivity to sound and smell
• Brain fog and dizziness

The challenge of living with chronic migraines

For many, the intensity of migraine headaches can lead to emergency room visits, with 24% of migraine sufferers needing such care at some point. Migraine disease can significantly reduce productivity, with over half of those affected experiencing a 50% or more decrease in their ability to work or complete household tasks.

Addressing light sensitivity

Photophobia, or light sensitivity, affects around 90% of individuals during migraine attacks. For 40% of people, light sensitivity persists even between migraine episodes. Additionally, light or glare is a known trigger for 30-60% of migraine attacks.

Introducing Avulux Lenses – A Breakthrough Solution

Avulux lenses provide a revolutionary way to manage migraines by offering clinically validated light filtration. These precision lenses block up to 97% of harmful light wavelengths, such as white, blue, amber, and red, that can exacerbate headaches, while allowing soothing green light to pass through, which has been shown to reduce migraine pain intensity.

Why Avulux?

Avulux lenses offer a safe, non-invasive, and side-effect-free solution for managing light sensitivity associated with migraines. They are a one-time investment, as a single pair can be worn both indoors and outdoors without the need for additional purchases or adaptations. Unlike sunglasses, Avulux lenses preserve color accuracy, making them suitable for everyday activities without the need for dark adaptation periods.

How to use Avulux lenses

• Avulux lenses can be fitted into any eyeglass frame, and are available with or without a prescription.
• They can be worn continuously for those with chronic migraines or part-time during trigger activities like screen time or harsh lighting exposure.
• Avulux lenses are also available as clip-ons or fit-over options, making them accessible to those who wear contact lenses.

What makes Avulux lenses unique?

Research has shown that light exposure activates melanopsin-secreting cells in the eye, which are responsible for the pain sensitivity experienced during migraines. Avulux lenses specifically target the wavelengths that stimulate these cells, offering relief without the need for medication.

Safe and Complementary

Avulux can be used alongside other migraine treatments, including medications, and offers a natural, sustainable option to help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine symptoms.
