Migraine and Light Sensitivity
Migraine Related Light Sensitivity
Nearly 5 million people in Australia are affected by migraine*. It impacts on lifestyle, work and overall well being. There is no cure, only ways to manage symptoms and triggers.
Migraine is a genetic neurological disease and the common migraine attack symptoms include:
- Light sensitivity is the #1 most bothersome symptom^.
- Debilitating headaches
- Nausea and vomiting
- Sound and smell sensitivity
- Brain fog and dizziness
Harvard research shows that specific blue, red, and amber light are pain triggering wavelengths, while specific green wavelengths can be soothing ~#.
We understand how debilitating light sensitivity and migraine can be. Days off work, avoiding places that you know are triggering or having to hide away in a dark room. We have a long history in helping patients with precision tinted lenses for glare sensitivities and we are excited to have the opportunity of helping people migraine and light sensitivity.
