Migraines can disrupt every aspect of daily life - especially in a fast-paced, high-stimulation environment like Manhattan. For many sufferers, light sensitivity is one of the most debilitating symptoms, turning office lighting, computer screens, and even a walk down the street into potential triggers. If you find that bright or artificial light worsens your migraines, there are advanced optical solutions available.
At Drs. Farkas, Kassalow, Resnick & Associates, our eye doctor in Manhattan offers innovative options like Avulux lenses in Manhattan to help patients better manage light sensitivity and reduce migraine-related discomfort.
Up to 90% of migraine sufferers experience light sensitivity during an attack. Certain wavelengths of light (particularly blue, amber, and red light) can overstimulate the brain and trigger or intensify migraine pain. In a fast-paced environment like Manhattan, avoiding light exposure isn’t realistic. From office fluorescents to digital screens and bright outdoor conditions, triggers are everywhere.
While traditional sunglasses may seem like a solution, they often darken all light equally, which can sometimes increase long-term light sensitivity. What migraine patients need is not simply darker lenses - but targeted light filtering.
Avulux lenses are precision-engineered lenses designed specifically for people with migraines. Unlike standard tinted lenses, Avulux lenses filter out harmful wavelengths associated with migraine triggers while allowing in soothing green light.
This selective filtering technology helps:
Avulux lenses are clinically studied and FDA-registered for migraine relief, offering a non-invasive, drug-free option for patients looking for everyday support.
Living and working in Manhattan means constant exposure to intense visual environments. Office buildings with bright overhead lighting, subway platforms, digital billboards, and long hours on screens can all contribute to migraine flare-ups.
Avulux lenses in Manhattan provide a practical solution for urban life. They are designed for daily wear - whether you’re commuting, working at your desk, or walking through Midtown. Unlike traditional migraine glasses that may appear overly tinted or dark, Avulux lenses are subtle and can be worn comfortably in professional settings.
Not all migraines are the same, and not all light sensitivity is migraine-related. That’s why a comprehensive eye evaluation is essential. At Drs. Farkas, Kassalow, Resnick & Associates, our eye doctor in Manhattan takes the time to understand your symptoms, triggers, and lifestyle.
