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.

No problem! If you don't wear prescription glasses or if you wear contact lenses, we offer non-prescription Axon glasses through our shop.

Customers in the USA can purchase prescription migraine lenses on axonoptics.com.

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.

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.

Proper lens care:

1. When glasses are worn often, they tend to accumulate oil and debris. Be sure to use cool water to gently rinse the debris off your lenses prior to wiping them.
2. Make sure you're using a clean microfiber or lint-free cloth (if the cleaning cloth has accumulated oil and debris, it's best to launder it prior to using it).
3. Use the clean microfiber/lint-free cloth to gently dry your lenses. Avoid applying excessive pressure.

Only store your glasses in a cool, dry place.

Blue, amber, and red wavelengths of light have been clinically shown to incite and worsen migraine attacks.

A small portion of the green light spectrum has been clinically shown to reduce migraine headache pain intensity or keep it constant.

The Avulux lenses contained within Axon Optics glasses precisely filter blue, amber, and red light while allowing a narrow band of green light through.

Avulux lenses have gone through 8 years of research and development and multiple independent clinical trials. Clinical studies performed with Avulux lenses show that by precisely filtering light, they may help people living with migraine.

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.

Avulux lenses effectively absorb blue light, but they are not simple blue light lenses.

Avulux lenses absorb up to 97% of blue, amber and red light while allowing in soothing green light.

Otherwise, you should put your glasses on as soon as you feel migraine or light sensitivity symptoms beginning. This may be the earliest feeling of your typical migraine headache pain, or migraine aura such as visual disturbances, facial tingling, eye strain, eye pain etc.

If you have frequent migraine attacks or have chronic migraine, meaning that you average more than two migraine headaches weekly lasting at least 3 hours a day, you should consider always wearing your glasses, whether day or night.

Note: Due to the precision filtration properties of the Avulux lens, Axon Optics glasses are not suitable for driving.

Unless you're wearing your glasses continuously, you should wear them until your migraine attack or light sensitivity symptoms have passed.

If your symptoms have passed but you're planning to continue to be exposed to any triggers, we recommend that you keep the migraine glasses on until you complete your task, even if your symptoms have improved.

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.
