How Do Migraine Glasses Work?
It’s all about the science. As many as 90 percent of people living with migraine experience light sensitivity as a migraine symptom. Certain wavelengths of light have been shown to either trigger or worsen migraine attacks, while green light has been shown to be soothing.
Axon Optics powered by Avulux® Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses filter up to 97 percent of harmful blue, amber and red light while allowing in over 70 percent of soothing green light. These aren’t just glasses to block fluorescent light, like FL-41. In fact, there is no clinical evidence showing FL-41 provides light sensitivity nor migraine relief during a migraine attack.
Avulux is the only light sensitivity lens to ever be proven effective at the highest standard of clinical testing.
Axon Optics can be an important part of the toolkit for people living with migraine and light sensitivity, and can be safely used together with pharmaceuticals or neuromodulation devices.

Do Blue Light Glasses Help With Migraines?
There’s more to light sensitivity than blue light alone. Both blue and amber light affect cells in your eye that secrete melanopsin. That can lead to migraine attacks and increased light-triggered pain.
Avulux lenses are effective in managing light as they absorb harmful light before it enters your eyes. This isn’t just blue light blocking.

This is my second pair- one in prescription and one not. I can’t imagine not having these anymore! I have chronic intractable migraine and deal with pain and symptoms all day every day and when I heard about these I took a chance. They are soothing on my eyes and allow me to watch some TV and manage some screen time but I still have to dim the brightness on the devices. I wear these every single day inside. Thank you Avulux!
I have chronic migraines due to hormonal changes (possibly) - have to take medication to prevent onset of migraine symptoms, which include auras, numbness, and aphasia. Sensitivity to light is a MAJOR trigger. Avulux glasses help 1) withstand bright sunlight and prevent wobbly walking and 2) prevent discomfort due to indoor lights, e.g., florescent lights. Medication and lifestyle change alone could not prevent the impact of photophobia, which is where Avulux glasses helped immensely. Now I can walk outside without looking unstable haha!
Over the moon happy with my purchase! I tried a few different brands first off Amazon. I was hesitant to order these mostly because of the price, but after reading the science behind them and the money back guarantee, I thought it was worth a shot. Total game changer! I was diagnosed with Vestibular Migraines and PPPD over a year ago and have struggled with my eyes ever since. The glasses have been a huge help with fluorescent lighting and using my computer. I was an avid cyclist before my diagnosis and am just now starting to get back on the bike. My eyes continued to be a struggle while riding. Today, I gave these a try on my ride and it was absolutely AMAZING! Such a huge help. Made all the difference in the world. Can’t thank you enough Avulux for creating such a helpful product!!
I never take mine off! People always ask me where they're from as if they're just for fashion. Avulux is my new go-to eyewear. I have chronic migraine and I won't say they're the "be all end all cure," but they certainly assist my WFH life. I wear them to night events, dinners, when on screens and everything in between 10/10.

What does success with Axon Optics glasses look like?
Migraine and light sensitivity can be complex and success can be measured in many ways.
Axon Optics glasses contain Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity lenses which were made to help people with migraine and light sensitivity get through their days without having to isolate in a dark room.
Certain wavelengths of light have been shown to worsen migraine headache pain and even incite migraine attacks. Our lenses precisely filter light at certain areas in the visible light spectrum, they can be worn indoors or outdoors without distorting how you perceive color, and may help people living with migraine.
Whether it's being able to spend your time with family and friends, being able to work under harsh lighting, reducing the impact of light on your daily activities, or walking outside without fear of light, we recognize all of these as successes. We offer a 60 day money-back guarantee so you can be sure you're happy with your Axon Optics glasses.
Why shouldn't I just wear sunglasses?
Wearing sunglasses can dark adapt your eyes. Consistently wearing sunglasses can significantly prevent light across the visible spectrum from entering your eyes which can make you even more sensitive to light. This increase in light sensitivity could more easily trigger migraine symptoms and increase light-triggered pain.
If you're currently wearing sunglasses, or dark glasses, indoors, wear your Axon Optics glasses for at least 2-3 weeks to allow your eyes to adapt to the lighter tint.
Are Avulux lenses the same as FL-41 lenses?
No. The Avulux lens is a new, unique, patented, multi-band optical filtration technology that absorbs harmful blue, red, and amber light while allowing soothing green light through.
FL-41 is an older single-band, blue light filtration technology developed in the 1980’s to help wearers that are sensitive to fluorescent lighting.
Avulux lenses allow soothing green light through while filtering more blue light than FL-41 lenses and additionally precisely filtering amber and red light.
Can I wear Axon Optics glasses continuously? Indoors or outdoors?
Yes.
You can wear Axon Optics glasses continuously whether you're indoors or outdoors. Wearing the glasses will not dark adapt your eyes (you will not become more light sensitive).
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 Axon Optics glasses as soon as you feel any migraine or light sensitivity symptoms.
Note: Due to the precision filtration properties of the Avulux lens, Axon Optics glasses are not suitable for driving.
What if I don't see improvement with the glasses?
We offer a 60-day home trial period, and if you're not satisfied with how the glasses can help manage light, you may return them in original condition (no scratches or distortions).
It's important that your glasses are worn before the light-triggered pain becomes unbearable. Research has shown that light-triggered pain can be worsened through continuous exposure to light.
If you feel that your glasses aren’t helping you manage light as a trigger, we suggest wearing your glasses continuously throughout your day (and while in front of any digital screens or under harsh lighting) for at least two weeks so you can be sure about whether they're helping you manage light.
Note: Due to the precision filtration properties of the Avulux lens, Axon Optics glasses are not suitable for driving.
