Looking for blue light blocking glasses? You might be surprised to learn that they aren’t all they're cracked up to be. While they claim to block blue light, they often fall short in targeting the specific wavelengths known to worsen light sensitivity and migraine.
Glasses that block red and amber light - in addition to blue light - can help you more if you experience photophobia and migraine.

Understanding Blue Light Blockers
The term “blue light blockers” encompasses a range of products that aim to reduce the adverse effects of blue light exposure from digital screens and artificial lighting. These blockers come in various forms, including glasses, screen filters, and coatings for electronic devices.
Their primary function is to reduce the amount of blue light reaching the eyes, and they claim to alleviate symptoms such as eye strain, fatigue, and disrupted sleep patterns; however, several studies¹ suggest this to be false.
The Science Behind Avulux
While traditional blue light blockers offer limited protection, Avulux lenses take eye protection to the next level. Engineered to absorb blue, amber, and red wavelengths of light, while allowing soothing green light to pass through, our lenses provide a comprehensive defense tailored for individuals living with migraine and light sensitivity. Incorporating Avulux into your daily routine, alongside other healthy lifestyle choices, may significantly alleviate the impact of migraine and light sensitivity on your life.
Avulux vs. Blue Light Blockers: What Sets Us Apart
Blue light blockers, despite their name, often fall short in effectively shielding your eyes from the harmful effects of blue and amber light. As illustrated in the chart, these blockers typically do not block significant amounts of blue (480nm) or amber (590nm) light – both of which are known to exacerbate photosensitivity². To achieve optimal light management, it's essential to block both wavelengths effectively.
Fortunately, Avulux lenses are designed to address this issue head-on. Our lenses reduce over 80% of blue light and up to 97% of amber light reaching your eyes, ensuring comprehensive protection against the wavelengths most likely to trigger discomfort for individuals with migraine and light sensitivity.
