How we treat migraine sufferers in Sydney

Research suggests that up to 60% of migraines are caused by light or glare, so we treat migraine with special lenses designed to filter out harmful light.

This new optical treatment is known as Avulux. It has been made possible by advances in the understanding of how light can trigger migraine.

The Eye Practice in Sydney can assess your condition to determine the right Avulux lenses for your migraine treatment. These lenses can then be fitted to your existing glasses, or a new set of frames.

Migraine treatment FAQs

Is the migraine treatment science-based?

Optical migraine treatment is based on scientific research first published in Brain; a Journal of Neurology. The Avulux lenses we use in our Sydney clinic have been developed using this reasearch. They are the only clinically proven lenses that precisely filter light harmful to migraine sufferers.

The Avulux lenses we use to treat migraine have been independently tested and proven effective in a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

Avulux lenses can be used whenever you feel light-sensitive, or from the moment you feel any migraine symptoms.

Migraine treatment with Avulux lenses should provide immediate results. Regular wear will further reduce the incidence and severity of migraine.
