Has anyone tried Avulux glasses for migraine?

Hi, @mikaylar. The idea of migraine and light sensitivity glasses is intriguing. @SusanEllen66 @rwinney @fdona58 @avmcbellar have mentioned migraine glasses and may have an opinion for you. @zoe3 @taterjoy @chellbie70 @jenniferhunter @quazar also might know about this type of glasses and have some input.

The Vestibular Disorders Association has an article that may be useful for more information:

What did you decide, mikaylar? Have you tried these glasses?

Hi Lisa, my friend bought the glasses for $300 and I tried them at her house with no luck. However, it seems when I wear my prescription sunglasses I get 2% relief. At this point I will take any relief I can get.

Hi @mikaylar and @lisalucier -

I tried specialty migraine types of glasses, never for $300. Mine were around 50 or $60 from Amazon and were tinted rose color - touted as migraine helpers. My experience was that they didn't help and I got my money back.

Since graduating from the Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center, migraine management comes mostly from lifestyle change including meditation and deep breathing, good nutrition and sleep hygiene, exercise and a big one... stress management.

Light sensitivity is super challenging with migraine. I may need to have light filtering blinds down on a certain day but the trick is to work with your body and pull back gradually without complete shutout of light because that may intensify sensitization.

A balance of time limited rest periods and relaxation with minimal or light activity helps me calm my central nervous system and work through symptoms. Also, exposure therapies can be helpful as preventive measures of either light not triggering migraine or helping build up a tolerance to light.

A mantra I like to think of with symptoms like migraine, is to "swim with the current" not against it. I sure hope your friend got their 300 bucks back! That's a doozy.

No she did not. I have a continual headache so it's not like it comes on. It is called a New Daily Persistent Headache but it sure isn't new = 5 yr/8 mos, every day, all day.
