Migraine Relief with Avulux
Many of our patients have been able to reduce the strain on their eyes and minimize the risk of light-induced migraines by wearing Avulux lenses. These innovative glasses are specifically designed to provide relief for migraine attacks triggered by light sensitivity (photophobia).
Research has found that blue, amber, and red light can contribute to migraine headaches. Avulux glasses filter out these wavelengths to provide targeted relief for migraine sufferers. Unlike sunglasses, Avulux lenses won’t make your environment darker, so you can wear them both inside and outdoors to reduce migraine triggers.
We’re delighted to offer Avulux to our patients, so you can have a practical, noninvasive solution to migraine relief.
Digital Eye Strain
Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, is the discomfort many experience after prolonged screen use. Symptoms like eye fatigue, dryness, headaches, and blurred vision are caused by extended focus on digital screens, reduced blinking, and exposure to blue light.
Blue light management technology, which can be implemented into ophthalmic lenses, can help by reducing glare and visual stress, improving contrast, and supporting eye comfort during screen use.
At Sphere, our optometrists thoroughly assess your visual needs and provide tailored solutions—whether it’s blue light-filtering lenses, customized prescriptions to ease eye strain, or strategies to optimize your screen habits.
Filtering Blue Light
Blue light is a high-energy light emitted by digital screens, LED lighting, and even the sun. While some blue light is natural and necessary, prolonged exposure during screen time can contribute to digital eye strain and disrupt sleep patterns. Blue light exposure can trigger or worsen migraines, too.
At Sphere Optometry, we provide blue light management options in both ophthalmic lenses and certain contact lenses to help protect your eyes and enhance comfort.
