If you’ve followed our work with Avulux migraine glasses, you know we’re big believers in them. We started carrying Avulux early because the idea behind them just makes sense: bright light is a major migraine trigger, and these lenses are built to block the exact kind of light that sets headaches off — without making everything look dark or strange.
Here’s the good news. Avulux used to make one lens. Now they make three — and Michigan Eye Consultants carries all three. Whether you’re stuck at a desk all day, always outside, or somewhere in between, there’s now an Avulux lens made for you.
Regular sunglasses and tinted glasses block light the lazy way: they just dim everything. That helps a little, but you lose the good light along with the bad.
Avulux is smarter than that. The lenses filter out up to 97% of the blue, amber, and red light most linked to migraines and light sensitivity — while still letting in over 70% of soothing green light, the kind that’s actually easy on your eyes.
Best of all, they do this without messing with color. Look through a pair and the world still looks normal — not rose-tinted, not washed out. That’s the whole point: Avulux filters more light than most lenses while keeping colors true to life.
And this isn’t guesswork. Avulux’s light-filtering technology is clinically proven to help people living with migraine.
1. Avulux (the Original). The one that started it all — and still the right pick for most indoor life. Office lighting, computer and phone screens, gray overcast days. If you spend most of your time inside or out of direct sun, the original Avulux is your lens.
2. Avulux Adapt — the “all-day” lens. Think of Adapt as the do-everything option. Indoors, it works just like the original. Step outside into the sun and it automatically darkens — like transition lenses — to handle bright daylight. One pair, indoors and out, no swapping glasses.
3. Avulux Atlas — built for bright sun. Atlas is your outdoor lens. It’s polarized, which means it cuts harsh glare — the blinding kind that bounces off water, snow, and pavement. If you spend real time outside on sunny days, Atlas is made for that.

Do I need an official migraine diagnosis to wear these?
No. If light bothers you — from migraines, concussions, dry eye, or you’re just sensitive to bright light — Avulux may help.
Can I get them in my prescription?
Yes. All three come in prescription. Book a consultation and we’ll sort out your options.
Can I drive in them?
No — Avulux lenses aren’t made for driving. If light bothers you behind the wheel, tell us. We’ll point you to options that are safe and appropriate for the road.
How are these different from blue-light glasses or regular tints?
Regular tints just dim everything, including the good light. Avulux is precision-built to filter only the wavelengths tied to migraines — which is why colors still look normal and the light feels better.
I already own the original Avulux. Should I upgrade?
Depends on your life. Spend a lot of time outdoors? Adapt or Atlas could make a great second pair. Come in and we’ll talk it through — no pressure.
