Migraine sufferers know that migraines can be debilitating. In severe cases, people can be left bedridden for days or need to stay in a dark room until their symptoms subside.
There are many migraine triggers, and for many, certain lights, especially artificial lighting, can leave a person with debilitating symptoms. We often see patients who are on a range of pain medications who are searching for other long-term, non-medical options. This is where Avulux lenses come in.
Avulux lenses are scientifically proven to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines, especially for people who are light sensitive. They reduce up to 97% of the light wavelengths that could trigger migraines and allow a soothing green light through. The lenses often make the light appear ‘softer’ and more comfortable.
At Capital Eye, your optometrist in Canberra, we are proud to offer Avulux lenses to our patients, and we have seen firsthand the difference they can make to migraine sufferers’ lives. We provide a pair of Avulux lenses for you to try for a week to determine if they would be of benefit to you. The lenses can be worn full-time or when you feel a migraine coming on.
Upon returning the loan pair of glasses, if you find them beneficial, we can organise your own pair, in either a prescription or non-prescription style. They can be fit to any optical frame of your choosing.
If you are a migraine sufferer or haven’t had your eyes tested by your optometrist in Canberra for some time, come into Capital Eye to try a pair of Avulux lenses.
