Migrane lenses & glasses: Avulux and FL-41
Headaches & Migraines: Could Your Vision Be the Cause?
If you suffer from frequent headaches or migraines, you’re not alone. But what many people don’t realize is that some headaches are linked to visual function problems even when eyesight seems “normal.”
At Eye Definition Optometrists, we evaluating the visual system to determine whether your headaches may be vision-related, and if so, we offer targeted solutions to help.
Lenses such as FL41 and Avulux lenses are possible treatments to consider.
How Vision Can Trigger Headaches & Migraines
Headaches and migraines can be caused or worsened by visual stress, including:
- Eye strain from prolonged screen use
- Difficulty focusing
- Poor eye teaming (binocular vision dysfunction)
- Light sensitivity
- Uncorrected or under-corrected prescriptions
- Visual processing inefficiencies
When the eyes struggle to work together properly, the extra effort placed on the visual system can contribute to fatigue, pressure, and migraine symptoms. Even patients with 20/20 eyesight can have visual function problems.
Treatment Options We Offer
If we determine your headaches have a visual component, treatment may include:
- Precision Prescription Lenses. Even small prescription changes can significantly reduce visual strain.
- Visual Function Treatment. If eye coordination or focusing issues are identified, targeted treatment can help reduce the visual load contributing to headaches.
- Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses
MIGRAINE & LIGHT SENSITIVITY LENSES
FL-41 tinted lenses

FL-41 tinted lenses
A clinically studied rose-colored tint designed to filter specific wavelengths of light that commonly trigger migraines.
FL-41 filters specific blue-green wavelengths of light that have been shown to trigger or worsen migraine symptoms. By reducing this portion of the light spectrum, the lenses help calm visual overstimulation.
Avulux lenses

Avulux lenses are a next-generation migraine lens designed to selectively filter harmful light while allowing comfortable, natural light to pass through. Advanced lenses engineered to selectively filter migraine-triggering light while maintaining natural color perception.

Blue Light Filter
Blue light filters reduce exposure to short-wavelength blue light from digital screens and LED lights. Although not migraine-specific like Avulux or FL-41, they can be helpful if screen use or harsh lighting contributes to symptoms.
Who Should Consider a Migraine Vision Evaluation?
You may benefit if you:
- Experience frequent headaches or migraine
- Notice symptoms worsen with screens or reading
- Have light sensitivity
- Feel eye strain at the end of the day
- Have migraines that haven’t responded fully to other treatments
- Have been told “everything looks normal,” but still have symptoms
