Avulux Migraine Lenses in NYC
Clinically studied lens technology that may help people living with migraine. Fitted at all three Visionary Optics locations by independent opticians who have never compromised your vision since 1989.
What Are Avulux Migraine Lenses?
Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses use patented nanomolecular multi-band precision filter technology to selectively filter light. The lenses absorb up to 97% of blue, amber, and red light, which independent research has associated with light sensitivity, while allowing more than 70% of soothing green light through.
Unlike traditional tinted lenses, Avulux lenses have a neutral gray appearance and do not distort colors. Wearers can go about their day, work on screens, or spend time outdoors without the visual compromise of heavily tinted glasses.
Avulux is the only migraine lens studied at the highest standard of clinical testing. In a published clinical trial, 90% of wearers reported that Avulux helped them through their days by effectively filtering light.
