## Does bright light make your migraine days harder?

Fluorescent lights at work, bright computer screens, or the Florida sun can feel like too much once a migraine attack starts. Avulux migraine glasses are specifically designed to filter the wavelengths of light that many people with migraine find hardest to bear, while the rest of the visible spectrum comes through. We offer Avulux lenses at Aker Eye in Titusville, as prescription lenses or non prescription.

Many people who ask us about migraine glasses already wear sunglasses indoors, or have tried rose tinted glasses or blue light blocking glasses. Bring what you wear now to your visit, and we will look at it together and help you decide whether a pair of Avulux migraine glasses fits your days.

## What do the different tints filter, from Avulux to FL-41 lenses and blue light blocking glasses?

Avulux filters certain wavelengths of light, two bands in all. One is a band of high blue light near 480 nanometers, and the other is a band of amber and red light near 590 nanometers. Green light, in the middle of the visible light spectrum, passes through. The lens is lightly tinted, and the maker designed it to be color neutral, so the world still looks familiar while you wear it.

FL-41 lenses are an older rose tint that filters mostly blue light and changes how colors look while you wear them. Avulux reaches two bands instead of one and is made to keep colors looking natural. Blue light glasses are a different idea again: they are sold for comfort at computer screens and filter only part of the blue light. The maker says they do not reach the amber and red band Avulux is built around.

If eye strain from screens is your main trouble and light does not actually hurt, a lens made for long screen days may suit you better. Tell us how your day goes and we will point you to the right one.

| Option | What it does to light | What it is made for | Needs a prescription? |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Avulux lenses | Filters a high blue band and an amber and red band, passes the rest | Light sensitivity in people diagnosed with episodic migraine | No, made with or without one |
| FL-41 tinted glasses | Rose tint that filters mostly blue light | Light sensitivity, often with migraine | Ask us; it depends on the maker |
| Blue light glasses | Filters part of the blue light from screens | Screen comfort | No, sold over the counter |
| Sunglasses | Darkens every color at once | Sun and glare outdoors | No, though prescription pairs are common |

## Who are Avulux migraine glasses for?

In 2026 the FDA authorized Avulux as an over the counter lens to lessen the impact of light sensitivity for people diagnosed with episodic migraine, worn alongside their regular migraine care.

People with migraine who ask us about Avulux often name bright light among their migraine triggers. They mention fluorescent lights at the office, or a long day at a screen that leaves them dreading bright lights. Some mention a grocery store with harsh LED lights, or sunlight bouncing off the water here in Titusville. Those are the kinds of days the lens is designed for.

The lens sits beside the treatment options your doctor gives you, not in place of them. Keep your medicine and the doctor who manages your migraine just as they are. If you ever notice a sudden, severe headache, sudden double vision, or a sudden change in your sight, call us the same day so we can guide you.

## Avulux, Adapt, or Atlas: which version fits your day?

The maker offers three versions of its migraine glasses, each one designed for a different part of your day. All three block UV light.

Here is how they differ:

- Avulux, the original, is for indoor light and overcast days. It is not polarized, and many people make it their main pair for work, school, or home.
- Avulux Adapt has the same filter built in and darkens outdoors in sunlight. It suits people who move between inside and outside all day and want one pair instead of two pairs.
- Avulux Atlas has polarized lenses and is made for outdoor use only, so it works as a pair of migraine sunglasses. It is not meant for indoors.

## When should I wear my migraine glasses?

The maker suggests putting them on before a known trigger, like a long afternoon at the computer or a store with bright lights. You can also reach for them at the first sign of migraine symptoms and keep them on until the symptoms pass.

The maker does not recommend the lenses for driving at night. Ask us before you drive in any tinted lenses, and we will help you plan a pair for the road. We pick the version with you at your visit, based on where you spend your day.

## Can I get Avulux lenses in my prescription glasses?

Yes. Avulux comes as prescription lenses in single vision, progressive, and reading designs, or with no prescription at all, with an anti-reflective coating as an option. We fit them to your eyes and your frame the way we fit any pair from our optical.

There are three main ways to wear them:

- In a frame. Choose one from our optical or bring a frame you already own, and we order the Avulux lenses in your prescription.
- As magnetic clip-ons. If you already wear prescription glasses, clip-ons fit over your current pair and come off easily.
- As non prescription lenses. If you wear contact lenses or do not need a correction, you get the same filter with no prescription in it.

## What happens at an Avulux visit at Aker Eye?

We like to look at your eyes first. Light sensitivity can also start in the eye itself, from dry eyes to inflammation, and those need their own care. So we check your eye health, and anything else you notice like blurry vision, before we talk about lenses.

Then tell us how light bothers you, when it happens, and what you have tried so far. If migraine glasses fit your needs, we measure you for the frame and Avulux lenses and order them. Every person is different, and we will talk through which version and how often to wear it.

The maker suggests giving the lenses at least two weeks of wear before you judge them. Call us with any question while you settle in.

Some headaches feel more like eye strain from keeping the eyes lined up during close work. If that sounds like yours, we may also talk with you about Neurolens. We help you sort out which lens, or which mix of lenses, matches your days.

## What do Avulux glasses cost, and does insurance help?

The cost depends on the version you choose, your prescription, and the frame, and we go over it with you before anything is ordered. Coverage depends on your plan. Call us with your plan name and we will check what we can before you come in. We take HSA and FSA cards, and if you would rather pay over time, we offer CareCredit, Cherry financing, and Afterpay.

### Do migraine glasses work for light sensitivity?

Migraine glasses are tinted lenses designed to cut down the wavelengths of light that bother many people during migraine attacks. Avulux is one modern option, and FL-41 lenses are an older rose tint with a different filter. Each person is different, so ask us at your visit and we will talk through how a pair could fit your days.

### Which are the best migraine glasses, Avulux or FL-41?

They filter light in different ways, and the best pair is the one that suits your eyes and your days. FL-41 lenses use a rose tint that filters mostly blue light. Avulux filters a high blue band and an amber and red band and is designed to keep colors looking natural. We can show you the difference at your visit.

### Do blue light glasses help with migraines?

Blue light blocking glasses are sold for comfort at computer screens and filter only part of the blue light. Avulux is designed for light sensitivity with migraine and filters a wider set of bands, including amber and red. If you are not sure which fits your day, ask us and we will help you choose.

### Can I wear Avulux with my prescription glasses or contact lenses?

Yes. Avulux comes in single vision, progressive, and reading lenses, as magnetic clip-ons that fit over your glasses, or as non prescription lenses for people who wear contact lenses. You can have the full filter built right into your everyday glasses.

The maker does not recommend them for driving at night. Before you drive in any tinted glasses, bring it up at your visit and we will help you stay safe on the road.

### How long does it take to get used to Avulux migraine glasses?

Everyone is different. The maker suggests at least two weeks of wear before you decide how the lenses suit you. If anything feels off while you adjust, give us a call and we will sort it out with you.

### Can I stop my migraine medicine if I wear Avulux?

No. Avulux is meant to be worn alongside your usual migraine care, not in place of it. Talk with the doctor who manages your migraine before you change any medicine.

### Does insurance or an HSA or FSA cover Avulux?

Coverage depends on your plan, and the cost depends on the version, your prescription, and the frame. Call us with your plan name and we will check before you come in. HSA and FSA cards work here, and CareCredit, Cherry financing, and Afterpay are there if you would rather pay over time.
