FINALLY! After years of migraines and suffering everyday for 4-5 weeks for each one, there is something that works. A relative heard about Avulux migraine glasses and I decided to get a pair. First time I felt a migraine coming on, I put them on for 30 minutes and the pain just stopped. This is life changing for me and anyone with migraines. I feel like I have made the greatest discovery and want to share the experience with all who suffer.

Still an early user, these glasses have definitely lowered by risk of a full blown migraine on several occasions! When normally I would get the sharp piercing head pain, I can feel my eyes are calmer wearing these glasses and I can actually function while I am at work and don't feel the need to turn off all the lights and close my eyes. Even looking at a phone in a moving car (not driving!!) would make me nauseated and make my eyes hurt, but having the glasses on made me feel just normal! I will definitely bring these with me everywhere I go!

For context, I am 22 and I have had chronic migraine with aura since I was a sophomore in high school. My headaches have been on and off controlled by a variety of medications over the years. I have sensory processing disorder (likely from undiagnosed autism) and migraines, so my photophobia is pretty severe. As for these glasses, these are the best that I have tried. I have previously tried TheraSpecs and Axxon Optics, both red-light glasses and their polarized sunglasses. These are leagues better than their blue-light-blocking glasses, and are somewhat better than their polarized sunglasses. What sets the Avulux glasses apart are: - they are way cuter (look better on my face) - the shape blocks out way more surrounding light (it doesn't get through the sides as much) - they work extremely well both indoors and outdoors, so I only need to carry one pair of glasses around with me. They also help tremendously with transitions between dark and light environments. - they extend the time that I can look at screens without getting tired eyes. I can now watch tv at nighttime with my family without getting a headache (televisions are the worst because you can't adjust the brightness and it doesn't come with a built-in blue-light filter). - I used to get severe, sharp pain when going from dark to light places, and, while my eyes still take a while to adjust, I no longer feel pain as they adjust. - The darkness is in-between the darkness of sunglasses and normal glasses, so I find I am way less self-conscious wearing them all the time (I used to get embarrassed by the red-ness of other blue-light-blocking glasses) There are some cons, however: - I think they do help prevent or dissipate my smaller, daily headaches, but I don't think they do much for my full-blown migraine attacks (I still have to take an abortive, and if the abortive doesn't work these don't just make the pain disappear) - I worry about breaking them since they are so expensive - on video calls they do like quite dark (like I'm wearing sunglasses) so people tend to get concerned for me - I wish they came in more colors, but these have grown on me Overall, I 100% would recommend these glasses. I already told my neurologist about them so they can go out to more people. My mom also has a pair and uses them daily. For people who have had chronic migraine for many years, I wouldn't expect them to be curative, but they have quickly become a tool I use daily to assist with my photophobia and help me live a more normal life. Light is no longer actively painful, which is huge.

Loving my Bli glasses. I use them as a preventive measure when I'm exposed to triggers and also when I am feeling symptoms or mid-attack. Definitely helps that they are cute and stylish :)

Customer service is excellent. Also these glasses have made a difference for my vestibular migraines. I am able to tolerate more light and tolerate watching tv in small doses. They really do work.
