If you regularly experience headaches and migraines, you may already know that your visual system could be playing a role.
At Metro Eye, we work with many patients who discover that vision-related issues are contributing to their symptoms. During Migraine & Headache Awareness Month, we’re highlighting two innovative lens options that may help provide relief.
Avulux:
Light sensitivity is a common trigger for many migraine sufferers. Avulux lenses are specially designed to filter specific wavelengths of light associated with migraine aggravation while maintaining natural color perception.
Whether you’re working on a computer, under fluorescent lights, or spending time outdoors, Avulux lenses may help improve comfort and reduce light-related symptoms. Metro Eye offers Avulux evaluations and lenses for patients looking for another tool to help manage their migraines. We also carry examples of this tint in the office, if you are curious about the appearance of the lenses or want a quick example of how the tint can help.
Neurolens/Newton:
Even a small amount of eye misalignment can force the eyes to work harder, leading to headaches, eye strain, neck pain, and fatigue—especially during reading or screen use.
Neurolenses/ Newton Lenses are customized contoured prism prescription lenses designed to help the eyes work together more comfortably. Our doctors can perform a specialized evaluation to determine whether Neurolenses / Newton Lenses may be right for you, and we can fulfill your prescription right here at Metro Eye.
Finding the Right Solutio
Headaches and migraines can have many causes, which is why a personalized evaluation is so important. If you’re struggling with headaches, eye strain, or light sensitivity, our doctors can help determine whether specialized lenses such as Neurolens/Newton Lenses or Avulux or another option may be part of the solution for you.
