Stop Wearing Sunglasses For Your Light-Sensitive Eyes
Shop Avulux Migraine GlassesGeneric sunglasses could be causing you more harm than good.
Avulux glasses are the best option.
Millions of people experience light sensitivity and migraine. It's natural to think wearing sunglasses indoors is the answer to your light sensitivity. It’s not.
Wearing sunglasses for light sensitivity can worsen the problem. Your eyes get used to the dark – the technical term is “dark-adapted” – and when you take off the sunglasses, light becomes even more unbearable.
It’s like when you get up to go the bathroom in the middle of the night and turn on a light. It seems so bright that it hurts. Wearing sunglasses constantly can adjust your eyes to the dimness and you'll have a hard time adjusting back.

Avulux vs. Sunglasses
Wear Avulux Indoors, Not Sunglasses
Sunglasses aren’t designed to block harmful lightwaves linked to migraine light sensitivity – specifically red, amber and blue light. Sunglasses also block soothing green light.
Sure, sunglasses have a place when it comes to protecting your eyes from UV outdoors. But they aren’t intended for managing light indoors for people living with migraine light sensitivity.
Fortunately, Avulux lenses are specifically made to filter out only the harmful light, while allowing soothing light through, and they can be worn indoors or outdoors.
Light triggers migraine attacks.
If you're light sensitive, light may trigger your migraine symptoms, such as headache or nausea, or make those symptoms worse. Wearing sunglasses indoors won’t help.
Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses are the only clinically proven option on the market that block the most uncomfortable wavelengths of light, while letting soothing light through - even on the brightest summer days.

Questions?
Light sensitivity, also known as photophobia, is one of the most common symptoms experienced by people with migraine – as many as 80 to 90 percent of those with migraine also have light sensitivity. People with photophobia are much more sensitive to light than your average person, often experiencing pain, headaches, nauseaand more when exposed to levels of light that others might not find bothersome.
Generic sunglasses aren’t designed to block harmful waves of light that are linked to migraine – specifically red, amber and blue light. And they also aren’t made to let in soothing green light. For that you need clinically proven Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses, which filter up to 97 percent of harmful blue, amber and red light wavelengths while letting in soothing green light.
You can wear Avulux continuously whether you're indoors or outdoors. Wearing Avulux will not dark adapt your eyes (you will not become more light sensitive by wearing Avulux).We encourage you to wear your glasses during any triggering activities like extended screen time, when exposed to harsh artificial light, or even under sunlight. If not worn continuously, be sure to wear your Avulux glasses as soon as you feel any migraine or light sensitivity symptoms.
Currently, there's only one type of Avulux lens which has been specifically designed to be worn indoors or outdoors. They aren’t sunglasses.
Chronic dark adaptation is when you become more sensitive to light by exposing yourself to dark environments for prolonged periods of time. When you become dark-adapted, you become more sensitive to light. For those living with migraine, this is often caused when wearing sunglasses indoors for prolonged periods of time.
