Avulux Lenses at Rowville Eyecare in Rowville, ON

Do You Suffer from Migraines?

If you suffer from migraines, you are not alone; over 1 in 5 of all adults suffer from these debilitating headaches.

Migraine is a neurological disorder affecting the lives of more than one billion people worldwide.

More than 90% of people experiencing migraine also suffer from extreme light sensitivity – the #1 most bothersome migraine symptom.

What are Avulux lenses?

Avulux has engineered the only lens that has proven clinical and statistical significance, at the highest scientific standard, in helping people with migraines.

Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses were officially launched in 2018, following a long path of clinical research and development.

In 2011, a neuro-ophthalmologist, photonics researcher, and ophthalmic entrepreneur researched and patented a new lens technology that would later become Avulux, to filter harmful light linked to migraine attacks precisely.

After extensive development and testing multiple prototypes, the patented Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lens formulation was released to the public.

How do Avulux Lenses Work?

Avulux lenses block out very specific wavelengths of light.

Melanopsin is a photopigment that is released when cells at the back of the eye, called intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), are exposed to light in the upper blue and amber range.

Research in 2010 further linked melanopsin-secreting ipRGCs to pain in people with migraines.

Years of research further improved the lens design with additional filtration properties for improved efficacy, color neutrality, and clarity.

Using nano-molecular technology, the current Avulux lens was created.
