Migraines and light sensitivity can significantly impact your quality of life. If you’ve ever felt discomfort from certain types of light—whether from screens, artificial lighting, or sunlight—you’re not alone. That’s exactly why Avulux lenses were developed.
But what exactly happens during an Avulux evaluation at IRIS? Here’s what you can expect.
A Careful Review of Your Symptoms
It all starts with a conversation. Your eye care professional will take the time to understand your situation, including:
- Frequency and intensity of your migraines
- Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
- Known triggers (screens, fluorescent lights, sunlight)
- Impact on your daily life
This step is essential, as every individual experiences symptoms differently. The goal is to fully understand your needs in order to recommend the right solution.
A Comprehensive Eye Exam
Before recommending Avulux lenses, a complete eye exam is performed to assess your overall eye health. This may include:
- Measuring your visual acuity
- Reviewing your current prescription
- Evaluating your ocular health
This ensures that no other eye condition is contributing to your discomfort.
Understanding Avulux Technology
Your eye care professional will then explain how Avulux lenses work.
Unlike traditional tinted lenses, Avulux lenses are designed to selectively filter specific wavelengths of light associated with migraine triggers, while allowing beneficial light to pass through.
The result:
- Improved light tolerance
- Reduced daily discomfort
- A discreet solution without a dark tint
A Personalized Trial
In many cases, you’ll have the opportunity to try Avulux lenses on-site.
This trial allows you to:
- Experience the difference right away
- Evaluate your visual comfort
- See how your eyes respond in different lighting conditions
It’s a key step in confirming that the solution works for you.
Tailored Recommendations for Your Lifestyle
Once the evaluation is complete, your eye care professional will recommend a personalized solution:
- Integrating Avulux lenses into your prescription
- Selecting frames suited to your lifestyle (work, sports, screen use)
- Providing guidance to maximize benefits
At IRIS, the goal is to offer a solution that fits seamlessly into your daily routine.
Follow-Up for Optimal Comfort
Adapting to a new visual solution may require some fine-tuning, which is why follow-up is often recommended.
Your eye care professional can:
- Adjust your prescription if needed
- Confirm your comfort after a few weeks
- Answer any questions you may have
