Clinically Backed Relief for Migraines
If bright lights, screens, or indoor lighting make your migraines worse, you’re not imagining it. We offer clinical evaluations and non-drug solutions like Avulux® light-filtering lenses, specifically designed to reduce the intensity of light-triggered migraine symptoms.
Migraine & Light Sensitivity Treatment in Helotes, TX
Some light sensitivity worsens an existing migraine. In others, light is the trigger. We evaluate the wavelength sensitivity of your symptoms and help you find solutions that protect your daily comfort, especially in screen-heavy or indoor environments.
What Is Light Sensitivity & Why Does It Matter?
Many people with migraines also experience photophobia, or heightened sensitivity to light. Even everyday lighting can become a trigger, leading to:
-
Throbbing or pressure behind the eyes
-
Nausea or dizziness
-
Eye pain
-
Blurred vision
-
Difficulty focusing
Avulux® Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses
Avulux® lenses filter specific wavelengths of light that are known to aggravate migraine symptoms, including blue, amber, and red light. They’re not the same as tinted or blue-light glasses. These lenses are clinically proven and designed for:
-
Patients with screen or fluorescent light sensitivity.
-
Those who’ve tried medications with limited success.
-
Anyone seeking a non-invasive, drug-free solution.
We fit Avulux® in-office and match them to frames that suit your prescription and lifestyle.
Is It a Migraine or Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD)?
Some patients with frequent migraines and visual symptoms actually have binocular vision dysfunction (BVD), a misalignment of the eyes that forces the brain to work harder to focus. If left undiagnosed, it can cause:
-
Headaches
-
Eye strain
-
Motion sickness
-
Dizziness
-
Difficulty reading or tracking visually
We screen for BVD as part of your evaluation. If signs are present, we can recommend treatment options or a referral for vision therapy.
A Non-Surgical, Medication-Free Approach That Works
Avulux® lenses provide a gentle, effective way to manage migraines triggered or worsened by light. They are a good fit for:
-
People seeking a non-drug treatment option.
-
Patients who have not found relief with other therapies.
-
Those dealing with screen-related symptoms.
-
Anyone who wants reliable, daily-use comfort.
