Migraines: Causes, Symptoms, and Triggers
Migraines are a type of headache characterized by intense, often debilitating pain. They typically involve a severe throbbing or pulsing sensation on one side of the head. Various symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound, can accompany migraines. Some individuals experience an aura before a migraine, which can manifest as visual disturbances, such as flashes of light and blind spots. While the exact cause of migraines is not fully understood, they can be triggered by various factors, including hormonal changes, stress, certain foods and beverages, sleep disturbances, and environmental factors.
Migraine Management at New Horizons Vision Therapy Center
Our migraine solutions address the visual triggers that often contribute to the onset of migraine episodes. Through a comprehensive evaluation, we identify specific visual dysfunctions and employ tailored strategies, including FL-41 tints and Avulux® lenses, known for their effectiveness in reducing migraine frequency and intensity. We aim to offer a unique approach to migraine management, helping our patients achieve significant relief and a better quality of life.
Avulux® Migraine Therapy
Avulux® migraine therapy uses specially designed lenses that help manage light sensitivity, a common trigger for migraines. The technology behind these lenses targets the harmful blue, amber, and red light spectrums, effectively blocking up to 97% of the most painful light without distorting color perception.
By filtering these specific wavelengths, Avulux® lenses help prevent the activation of the eye's light-sensitive cells that can lead to migraine attacks, reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines.
Are You a Good Candidate
for Avulux® Lenses?
To help determine if Avulux® is right for you, we use a comprehensive screening guide. These questions explore aspects like:
- Light sensitivity: Do you experience light sensitivity during or outside migraine attacks? How much does it impact your daily life?
- Migraine frequency and severity: Do you have episodic or chronic migraines? How often do they occur, and how debilitating are they?
- Current management strategies: Are you using medication or other methods to manage your migraines? How effective are they?
- Impact on activities: Do your migraines force you to miss work, cancel plans, or limit your hobbies?
FL-41 Glasses for Migraine Management
FL-41 glasses are specialized eyewear designed to reduce exposure to specific wavelengths of light, mainly blue and green light, which are known to trigger or exacerbate conditions like migraines, light sensitivity (photophobia), and visual stress.
The FL-41 tint has been clinically proven to help manage symptoms. They provide a non-invasive, drug-free approach to managing light sensitivity and migraines and are particularly useful for individuals who spend a lot of time in front of screens or brightly lit environments.
How FL-41 Glasses Work
-
Light Filtering: FL-41 glasses filter out the blue and green light spectra, which are highly energetic and can cause discomfort and pain, especially in light-sensitive individuals or those prone to migraines.
-
Reduced Glare: The tint also helps in reducing glare, which is a common trigger for headaches and migraines. By minimizing glare, FL-41 glasses can help improve visual comfort in various environments, from brightly lit offices to outdoor spaces.
-
Enhanced Contrast: The unique rose color of the FL-41 tint improves visual contrast, which can be beneficial for reading and other tasks that require visual precision. This enhanced contrast can reduce eye strain and make it easier to focus.
