If You’re a Veteran Living With Migraine, You’re Not Alone

Migraine is a common neurological condition that affects more than one billion people worldwide. However, veterans are disproportionally affected by migraine disorder. Approximately 36% of veterans who have served, suffer with migraine and disabling headaches; about triple that of the general public.

Some two million of those are receiving medical care for their headaches. On any given day in the United States, about 150,000 sufferers are so afflicted they cannot leave their beds, let alone go to work.

Migraine and Veteran Impact

According to the Department of Veterans Affairs study, veterans experience migraine attacks three time more frequently than the general population – an astounding 36% of veterans compared to 12% of non-veterans.

Migraine is noted as one of the most common reasons for medical discharge from the U.S. military. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Defense states that migraine is the second leading cause of medical evacuation from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Over the moon happy with my purchase! I tried a few different brands first. I was hesitant to order these mostly because of the price, but after reading the science behind them and the money back guarantee, I thought it was worth a shot. Total game changer! I was diagnosed with Vestibular Migraines and PPPD over a year ago and have struggled with my eyes ever since. The glasses have been a huge help with fluorescent lighting and using my computer. I was an avid cyclist before my diagnosis and am just now starting to get back on the bike. My eyes continued to be a struggle while riding. Today, I gave these a try on my ride and it was absolutely AMAZING! Such a huge help. Made all the difference in the world. Can’t thank you enough Avulux for creating such a helpful product!!

Well, I have had migraines since my 20s. The kind that ruins your entire day, light sensitivity, nausea & often accompanied with vomiting. I just turned 50...and am still dealing. I use Imitrex Injections after trying Ibuprofen & Tylenol combo.
I work on my computer all day for work and am finding I can keep working having these glasses on. It definitely takes the edge off... They feel like a warm hug for my eyeballs. I've not had them for very long but had the less expensive versions they sell at the Optometrist. I love that they do not distort colors and the pair I selected is kind of spunky. :) If you have migraines you know you ll try anything for relief. I feel these definitely help. I am planning to send in my prescription bifocals to have the tint & lenses done when I need new glasses.

Sent my own frames and my prescription in to get Avulux lenses. I am thoroughly pleased with the results. The first time I put them on, I felt my eyes relax. They are my every day glasses.

I pondered this purchase for 2 years and then finally went for it and I’m so glad I did and wish I hadn’t waited. I love them so much I bought the clip on lenses to go over my readers and they work perfectly!

I can honestly say I noticed a difference the first day I was wearing them. I was able to not only be in a relatively bright room, but also to go about daily tasks in the bright winter sun without issue. I've been wearing them every single day (regardless of how light or dull it is outside) and they've significantly helped me. 10/10. I'd recommend to anyone who suffers from light sensitivity and migraine, and wants to improve their quality of life.

Life changing...I suffer with chronic migraine and suffer with light sensitivity every day... I have taken to wearing Avulux every day 90% of the day, I've been able to enjoy an evening bowling and playing arcade games with my partner, and not been overwhelmed with bright lights in supermarkets, or friends houses that have 'cool white' lighting.
I no longer have eye strain every evening after all the painful lighting and screens... An absolute essential part of my migraine toolkit that I wish I had years ago! I'm hopeful now that I'm armed with my glasses I can start to enjoy more things that were a definite no go before! I've also received many compliments on the appearance of the glasses!
