A Blue, Amber, & Red Blocker

Patented & Precise

Avulux’s lens design directly aligns with the most recent research linking specific wavelengths (or colors) of light to increased pain and light sensitivity.

Avulux is patented, clinically proven, made with a revolutionary lens technology, and the lenses available to customers today are the lenses that were proven in the Avulux clinical trials.

Avulux Filters More Bad Light

Avulux lenses are an evolution in light management technology, filtering up to 97% of the most harmful blue, amber, and red light while allowing soothing green light through.

Other lenses fail to filter enough light to help people living with migraine light sensitivity and often distort your color perception, leading to a negative impact to your quality of life.

Understand the Avulux Difference

Avulux Lenses compared with:

Sunglasses

Wearing sunglasses indoors can make your light sensitivity worse. Read why Avulux glasses are the better choice to manage the impact of light on your life.

FL-41 Glasses

FL-41 lenses were designed to help with the flickering of fluorescent lighting in the 1980s. Read how Avulux is an advancement in precision filtration technology.

Blue Blockers

When it comes to light sensitivity, blue light isn't the only issue. Avulux lenses block up to 97% of the most harmful migraine-triggering light.

FL-41 Glasses and Lenses

FL-41 was a lens created in the 1980s to help people with light sensitivity caused by flickering fluorescent lighting. There are various optical labs and vendors that sell the FL-41 tint, and there are inconsistencies between lenses. There is no clinical evidence showing FL-41 provides light sensitivity nor migraine relief during a migraine attack. There are also new light sources like LED, digital screens, and even sunlight that sensitive individuals are faced with in their daily lives that remain unaddressed by FL-41 lenses.

Lens Technology Has Evolved with New Research

It’s only within the last 10 years that the medical world has come to better understand how light plays a role in pain and how it can affect and worsen migraine symptoms. FL-41 mainly blocks blue wavelengths of light, and there has since been clinical evidence, through research conducted at Harvard, showing that blue light isn’t the only culprit in worsening migraine pain (so generic blue light glasses are also falling short). Exposure to amber and red light can be just as painful (as they're also pain and light sensitivity triggers) while low-intensity green light can reduce migraine headache intensity or keep it consistent.

New Light Sensitivity Glasses that Help People with Migraine - Avulux

Avulux has been shown to effectively manage the impact of light by filtering harmful light during a migraine attack. Avulux is the only lens that has been able to show this in a clinical setting. Avulux targets the most harmful blue, amber, and red light while allowing in soothing green light to help you get through the day. Avulux glasses can be used as indoor glasses and they also work well for outdoor use.

Why is it that you may have heard more about FL-41 than Avulux? FL-41 has had 40 years to spread the word, while Avulux was released to the public in 2018.  

Know what else was widely used in the 1980’s? Landline telephones. We’ve all moved on to our smartphones since then. Lens technology has evolved just as much.
