I have severe chronic migraines, and wouldn’t be able to function without medications as well as learning and avoiding my triggers (especially cheap chocolate). I’ve also had benefits from using glasses with the FL 41 tint. The lights in Walmart have always been a trigger for me, but my “pink glasses” make it doable.
100% finding the right medication. After trying about five different meds, we found the right one, but I’m still not functioning at 100% for about 48 hours after a migraine. Although, I haven’t tried any of the solutions involving lenses.
I get a googly eye feeling ahead of a migraine. Almost like my eyes are in a rocking boat and my body is still. I find medication the most helpful. I get light and smell sensitivity. Its great to learn about these glasses!
Taking magnesium citrate supplements made a huge difference in the frequency and severity of my migraines. The citrate is important for absorption. When I accidentally bought magnesium without it, my migraines increased dramatically. (I experience a wide variety of migraine types.) I have also had Axon Optics glasses that function the same way the brand in this video does. 👍 They also have contacts which I will probably try soon.
4 months chemotherapy. I used to get debilitating migraines where all I could do was black out my room, close my eyes and suffer for 8 to 24 hours. After cancer and 4 months chemo I didn't even get to much as a mild headache for about 10 years. and probably another 7 years before I got my first migraine. No One has ever been able to explain it.
Oh my gosh, that happened to me too. I mean I was sick as a dog during chemo but I didn't get migraines. Unfortunately, when chemo was over I didn't have the same luck as you 🙂
When in grad school, I developed migraines one year. They actually cleared up when I started working seriously on my dissertation. Best guess is my body was telling me that if I didn't work on the dissertation, I wouldn't be able to work on anything else. I still have sinus headaches and become light sensitive then. Since I live in Texas, there's a lot of bright sunlight. In grad school in Ann Arbor, the cold wind and drafts triggered sinus headaches. As Gilda told us, "There's always something."

I still haven't really gotten relief or progress in my 12 years with migraines- but I have found things that help with my full time symtoms. Fresh foods, fish, and caffeine really help me. (to be clear- neurologists are always making me avoid caffeine- I went without it for 4 years, and was never a habitual coffee drinker to begin with- I have not noted any improvements from avoiding it) Raw high fat fish, and some coffee or a coke- every now and then -really can help improve the general sensitivity I feel. I also find working out low-light set ups with good aesthetics can be really soothing- it helps make it feel like a comfy routine not a desperate attempt to hide- and making it an everyday thing it removes the pressure of trying to predict an attack. the key thing is making sure there's just enough light to not need to turn any of it on if you need to get up in the night during an attack.
I take a blood pressure medicine to help with my migraines and it actually works, I didn’t think it was gonna work. I wish I could get some sort of glasses for driving at night though because headlights are horrible and are so bright and have a star like affect when they’re in my eyeballs.
Seeing this after coming out of a migraine last night. Dear definitely out of my price range but I'm so glad that these are out there maybe one day in a year or so they will cost less. It gives hope to know that these are out there. 🌸 As for medications when I do have insurance I use toradol injections at the doctor's office. At home I just usually take Excedrin migraines and a coke. Along with Halo wraps their little ice packs that fit in a wrap that velcro around your head. And a soft ice pack for my neck.
@@DoctorEyeHealth also look up "Ice Halo" or "Ice Hat". I have accumulated ice halos and one ice hat and keep all of them on use constantly. They are a blessing.
Feverfew tincture has helped immensely to buy me time to get home before it comes head on. Sometimes I can head it off completely by taking it throughout the day. Since I get silent semi hemiplegic migraines which paralyze me down one side of my body and give me aphasia, it's important for me to have the time to get home. Otherwise I'm stuck on the road for however long it takes or unless someone comes to get me. I have also found that blocking the light helps so I'm very interested in these glasses. Thank you for doing a review about them as they do have a hefty price tag. PS I got my migraines after a TBI. I eat a very clean diet and I watch my triggers. As far as prescriptions I use rizatriptan and cyclobenzaprine.I have found different things to help but I have not been able to get rid of these headaches.
I remember having Migraines since I was 10 (maybe they started before that but I don't know for sure) In my experience the best thing to PREVENT migraines is tk have a constant routine with no drastic changes (eg. If I sleep for 8hrs/day normally, it will probably trigger a migraine if I sleep for less than 4 or more than 11hrs, or being in a very loud noise place contrary to the norm) To REMEDY my migraines I've noticed that the best and most effective has always been to sleep or eat red apples (strange perhaps but I've found them to be way more effective than most medications)
I get headaches and migraines a lot. Alerts are usually the sensation of tingling or sharp pain right behind my eyeballs. That's a sure fire notion I'm about to get a migraine for sure. I never had these when I was younger. I'm coming off a 4 day migraine as we speak. Not much has helped. I've gone through several types of medication, shots, changed my diet, eating habits etc..still searching for that one helpful thing I suppose. I do a lot of screen watching all day so I know that contributes but I also wear special eye wear to help my eyes have less strain when viewing the screen all day. Take breaks when I can and so forth. Thanks for this video. I'm going to look into these. Be nice if they could get FDA approved and insurance could help out with these.
I'm so thankful that you share great information. I started having "regular" migraines, I was able to get rid of them by going to bed early. However, my migraine has changed to a more neurological issue (almost like stroke like symptoms) . My vestibular system gets affected, I have to go through physical therapy to readjust it. I was controlling it with a healthy diet, yoga and sleep schedule. However, my last episode left me unable to recover and was getting migraines constantly. Now, I am using an injectable medication Ajovy. First month on it and seeing how my body adjusts. So far I have not have a migraine. Will look into the glasses since I still suffer from photo phobia. Update: discontinue the medication because on day 29 (before next shoot) I develop a random itch. It appears and goes, mostly on my face and extremities. Day 30 and 31, after initial shoot, were really bad.
I was diagnosed by a specialist with vestibular migraines, which are caused by my chronic migraines. Quick suggestion that works for my vestibular migraines is an icepack for about 10sec behind my left ear on the vagus nerve and the dizziness just fades away. Specialist also suggested boswellia, which may have helped some. I am on Ajovy and it has worked well for me. I had similar results with Aimovig. Hope you have found something that has been effective for you.
I found that migrane is usually overexcitement and stress related. Aura comes like electric short circuit that cannot be controlled. So cutting down Coffee helps alot. I only take one normal Cup at morning to wake up and then only caffeine free Coffee. Its ok to use caffeine if you are tired and need to drive. But most of the time people that are too wired up just take more Coffee and get even more wired up.
I got the CEFALY device and that has helped the most. I hate the medication I’m on. I get a severe hangover after an attack using MAXALT. I need to search for migraine meds that don’t have that. The CEFALY is great but you need to clean your skin to apply the device then clock out for 45-60 minutes which isn’t always feasible. Hoping glasses help. I just have a cheap set of blue light glasses. I hope these are a step above those. The blue light glasses DO help!
Greetings from India !! ☺️🙏 Thank you soo much Dr Allen. These kind of products and some awareness about them in the form of video with a critical analysis as an optom helps us alot more to get us updated and be aware what's coming in the future for us. 🤩👌
Hello Dr. Allen, as an ex-victim of migraine attacks I only can tell you how I got rid of them: by drinking about 2 to 2 1/2 liter of WATER !! Yes I know, it sounds silly but it's true. And no meat but all the veggies, legumes and fruit that I like. After 3 months the migraines were gone till this day !! 🎊🎀
The famous doctor who worked out a cure for cancer called THE GERSON THERAPY only came up with the cancer cure after he suffered from severe, debilitating migraine headaches that left him unable to function for days. The Gerson Therapy is quite complex but it does include fruit and veg and no meat.
After reading your reply Doctor Eye Health, let me add this: you can drink your coffee in the morning rather than later in the day. It does not affect the water Water melon is also a very good body hydrator. Have a nice summer Dr. Allen and keep us informed with your interesting videos. Greetings from the Middle East. 🐪
That's great that water helped you but there are still many people who have tried many, many things. I have had migraine for over a decade and have tried multiple medications. I am just now getting my first pair of tinted lenses for migraine. This still won't "cure" my migraines but it will make my days a little more bearable.
@@haven9013 Hello Haven and thanks for your comments anf yes, you are right that it's desirable to get to the root of the migraine problem. I also swallowed numerous tablets, described by numerous doctors. Not only didn't they help, their side effects were terrific.Luckily I bumped into a naturopat who discovered my lack of liquids, thus when I took the matter serious and started drinking water, the migraines stopped (And water has no side effects!) It is certainly worth to try. Keep well and regards from the Middle East. 🙋♀️
Dr. Allen, will these glasses help to prevent visual migraines? When I experience a visual migraine, I always have to take Excedrin Migraine and lay down in a dark room in order to get rid of the visual migraine and headache within about an hours time. On another subject - I noticed your growing a beard but I think you look better without it. Clean shaven makes you look friendlier. Just one person's opinion. Thanks for all the great videos!
I'm super new to migraines and figuring out what triggers mine and what signs/symptoms show up prior to the actual onset. I typically start getting a headache before the migraine itself actually hits. I've learned that if I take OTC headache relief as soon as I start having a headache, it helps to keep the migraine from coming on. I think my migraines are due to switching my oral contraceptive, so I plan on talking to my gyno about that in August.
It is great you are tuned into your body so much you can tell when they are coming. Hormone shifts are connected with migraines too. (I think that is why sleep is also so important)
Really good question! I think it would help with light sensitivity indoors, in that sunglasses can make people lower their sensitivity threshold. They are still pretty light tint indoors but they do have a calming effect. I suppose you would never know until you try. If you do ever get a pair it would be nice to know your thoughts.
It was so scary i had a migraine but before my vision started getting bad and I was seeing those aura i thought I was going blind but it got better and I got huge migraine afterwards
Do you see a lot of chainsaw eye injuries? Me and my dad both went to the ER after using a stilh chainsaw. While mine was a large cut on my eye lens from flying wood or metal, the ol man had the saw kick back and hit him across the eye which chewed up his face above and below the eye, and mangled his eyelid. The doctor said the teeth scraped his eye but didnt cut it. A close call that is one in a million. He refused to go back to a doctor and his eyelid healed funny. If you looked at him while he was sleeping, you could see enough of his blue eye seeming to be looking back at you.
I get the top of the head tingles, eye twitching and my eye lids swell and turn bright red. My eyes feel like someone is pushing on them from the back. Then during the migraine it’s like painful pimple sensation in my right eye. But before all that it was stress and waking up every two hours almost every night. All of that compounded with low d3, iron, and b12. I try diet changes and to sleep but right now that’s impossible. My husband has gangrene and cellulitis and he wakes me up due to his pain.
I have Vestibular Migraines. I take variety of magnesium supplements that total up to 500 mg and Vitamin B3. I have a pair of Migraine glasses that I carry in addition to a pair of prescription sunglasses. I get vertigo along with migraines and they can last for weeks, not days. It’s debilitating. The migraine glasses help me while I’m at work. I’ve got to work…
How much relief do you get from these glasses? I'm considering getting a pair as I work a lot with a computer, and I am struggling with day to day function.😢
Great video, Dr Allen! Can't wait for this product to come up Canada. I typically use a lighter weight frame, water, and Advil/cbd when I can. Don't like to use Advil though
@@DoctorEyeHealth to my knowledge, with frequent/excess usage, it affects the liver and/or kidney (I forget which one, think it's the latter). And I live an hour away from the Canadian Rockies, so I get frequent Chinooks. I try to use cbd more frequently than Advil
When it comes to migrains ive found blue light glasses from gunnar, specifically the 35% have been my go to lenses, as someone who works in front of a computer screen and also stays infront of that screen after work it was debilitating having migraines due to eye stress. When i get an aura i take an advil and the migrain is alot less terrible but i suffer from neurological issues during the migrain releated to speech, motor skills and word comprehension/association. with the blue light glasses from gunnar that hasnt been an issue, in some time (knock on wood) I tried other lenses from a couple of companies but they didnt work well, the downside is the frames from gunnar arent all that great, they are a bit heavy or rub the ear in a not great spot depending on the frame ofc. so my idea world would be oakley apparition frames with gunnar lenses as silicon nose pads dont work great for me on most frames
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I had my eye appointment yesterday and my dry eyes have gotten worse, so, he gave me a couple of samples for eye drops and an eye gel to wear at night, because I use a CPAP machine at night. I'm going to continue using over the counter drops before moving on to Rx. Hope you're doing well.🙂
In the same boat with gettinf auras first... I have about 30 min to get planted... I wish they could make this into a daily contact. My largest change that helped me from migraines is using contacts instead of glasses especially when at the office with the harsh lighting. Went from 2 to 3 times per week to once or twice a month.
I am really interested in these, but they are pricey. Wish they offered a less expensive generic stand alone clip-on. For me fl-41 or blue blockers haven't helped with light sensitivity or migraines, BUT 25% fl-41 clip-on over blue blocker lenses has worked well for me 😉
Too expensive. And we all know it doesn't cost that much to make them. Perhaps they're made out of unicorn dust and we all know how hard that would be to obtain. I'll be interested when they make it more reasonable in price. I just have a thing against profiting over profiting on peoples illnesses. Thanks for listening
100% agree, and then us patients suffer longer due to the price and most of us being on a budget as in my situation raising a family of 5. $400 money back guarantee doesn't change a thing if I could find a normal priced pair at $50 with no money back guarantee id buy those no question asked. One pair I got that has really helped were glasses that had mid strength pink lenses that were designed for florescent lights which i found out by mistake when ordering safety glasses for work about a year ago and literally has help with migraines at work 80%+.. So there are other options, and this company will find out, or others will take their tech and make them cheaper. Just give it a year or so..
Theraspecs are a type of Fl41 filter and block/ filter out different wavelengths vs avulux. With that being said, Zenni had very affordable fl41 filters that work well.
My migraines usually lead to nausea so I often take both a migraine medicine like excedrin and a nausea pill like pepto bismol. I also have autism which I’ve been told also increases my likelihood of getting migraines 😭 been looking into migraine glasses to wear most of the time since I also just have general light sensitivity being an autistic person 🥴 the $300 price tag is a bit steep though, any recommendations for more affordable ones would be much appreciated (no prescription lenses here!)
I have astigmatisms and keraticonis in both my eyes I’m 20 years old and had cornea cross linking done in both my eyes and wear hard contact lenses that I have to put a solution in everyday and can’t sleep in them
Hello Dr Allen I am now 20 years old and suffering migraine headache from almost past 10 years.Yesterday an opthalmologist suggest me to use a glasses (-.25).I feel eye pain at the time of migraine problem and light sensitivity but I don't have vision problem.Should I use the glasses? Please let me know
I have recently found this channel. Being a gas permeable lens wearer can we have tips in finding these lost in the eye rather than soft lenses Great video by the way. You
Sausage bacon and hotdogs. They all have nitrates in them. A salt preservative. If someone is sensitive to salt, they will be sensitive to salt family members such as nitrates, msg, etc. They make the receptors fire repeatedly. Similar in function to how aspartame tricks the body into thinking it has sugar in it which still messes with your insulin response. Stick to fresh meats or home smoked bacon without nitrates. I eat hotdogs that do not have nitrates and they do not give me headaches, although they do make me feel bloated after 2 or 3 :)
For me, when I first feel one coming I try to drink water, eat something, I will take OTC headache meds and then sleep if I can. I also have been putting the avulux glasses in the video on over the last year and I feel they help.
Thanks for the great question. Contact lenses have worked very well for me over the years. The reason I have chosen to not get lasik is because I suffer from dryness to begin with. and lasik often makes that much worse. Glaucoma also runs in my family and thinning the cornea can throw off some glaucoma measurements.
@@DoctorEyeHealth okay got It do you think overall its a good and safe procedure ? and do you think despite those factors that you'd ever do it in your life ?
Hello, I know this probably has nothing to do with the video, but have you tried Izivia eye drops dry eye? I say an ad for them and went to their website. Thanks
Sadly, I have no scientific evidence to base an opinion on. I imagine it might help with indoor light sensitivity but unlikely to have any other effect. I suppose someone could try though. I really need to do a video on those two conditions.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I was just curious as I have Usher (type 2a) and migraines and wondered how the night blindness would be affected. The whole mood lighting in restaurants are horrible for me to see in, and then light fixtures displays at hardware stores make it near impossible to see the actually fixture. 🤦♀️ I can’t win 😂
Is anti glare and anti reflective coating are the same or not! should I apply anti glare and anti reflective coating in both sides or just in inside part for sunglasses! Is dust and water repellent is a coating or natural attributes of polycarbonate lens! Please reply, it will help me a lot
Hey Krishna! Anti-glare is just another way of saying Anti-reflective coating. It is best to have anti reflective coatings on both sides of spectacle lenses and at least on the backside of sunglasses. Dust and water repellent is a coating that is often combined with better or higher end anti-reflectives. Polycarb lenses naturally block almost 100% UV light and are more impact resistant, but do tend to scratch easier and have more color distortion.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I need them on my next glasses. I usually get a scratch resistant coating but no matter how careful I am including using calocloth glasses cleaning cloths which are super soft my glasses still eventually get scratched. Do they cost a small fortune though. I'll ask my optician here in Ireland if it's possible to get them when I get my next pair of glasses
I don't know yet as I have not seen any published data. But i can tell you from just putting them on and looking for my own VS...I still see the VS. But perhaps if you get light sensitivity with VS it could help?
Hey Dr. Allen, I've been watching you for over a year now. Recently I found out I had keratoconus and received a Gas Permeable Contact lenses. Now my question is that do I put in the solution INSIDE the case with the lenses everyday? And when I take the lenses out of the case (in the morning), do I throw out the solution from the case, let it dry and when I'm done wearing the lenses, put back the solution in the case with the lenses? I am going back to my doctor for a check-up in the following month, but wanted some insight from you. I've watched your Hard Contact Lenses video and commented on that, but thought I'd comment on this video since it's new.
dude my last optometrist gave me a prescription that was too strong in one eye and it was causing me eye pain. I thought something was wrong with my eye until my new optometrist pointed out the mistake that my old optometrist made. Can you make a video about this??
hi again I want to let u know their sight-axon optics are against driving with these glasses-but in the previous generation that was pinkish-u sad you will make them your driving and night glasses-perhaps u can talk about the changes they made and they do not sell sunglass or photochromatic any more
2:28 associated via correlation or causation? If correlation, then how strong is the data? After what we went through in the last 2-3 yrs, I'm going to not believe any corporate research unless there's unfathomably substantial evidence cross-verified by independent researchers Remember, There was quite a bit of "research" hype for blue-blocking lenses, and then their benefits turned out to be meh. Now, Dr. Andrew Huberman often recommend against wearing those because it blocks wavelengths needed for some neurochemistry. (I'm not about to write an esaay here. You wany to know more? Go to his podcasts)
I think having some reservation about any product/research that comes out is very good. I think a lot of people demonize the "blue light" hype but it was mostly fabricated by marketing teams, not the researchers. There is still a lot we don't know about blue light. I do respect Dr. Huberman but I personally do not know him and would love to discuss some eye health topics with him.
@@DoctorEyeHealth so, essentially, you guys are also facing the same problem that we engineers are, hey? Marketing teams fabricate lies and blame "science" when they're exposed. At this point, we might as well start awarding B.Sc. degrees to all MBAs and Journos. 😄
@@DoctorEyeHealth and yes, Dr. Huberman's suggestions have really helped me quite a bit. He talks quite a bit about leveraging light exposure to gain certain benefits, so we'd be glad to see you have a chat with him 👍
Alright, I feel I have to ask, but I’m very scared of the answer. A year ago, I got eye floaters. A couple of months before that I started wearing contacts, and often I did not wash my hands before taking my contacts out (I regret this so much now). One day I noticed I had a couple of noticeable floaters, and since then I have not worn contacts and I get a lot of anxiety thinking of them because I think it’s because of them and my lack of hand washing which caused my floaters. (Like maybe I got an infection) My question is, is it possible that me not washing my hands before taking contacts out caused my floaters, and can wearing contacts worsen my floaters? If you answer, thank you.
Floaters are perfectly normal and the body will just reabsorb them eventually, they are not debris in your eye- your eyes will water to flush stuff out that dirty hands would have gotten in your eyes.
Dr Allen, I am 75 years old and my vision is always blurry. I have complained to my ophthalmologist that my prescription is not correcting my astigmatism. But she says it is because I am not managing my blood sugar. However, my A1C is always under 7.0 and is currently 6.7. My diabetes nurse is very pleased with that, and the ophthalmologist even says she sees no evidence of eye damage. Do you think it would help if I ask the eye clinic to give me an eye exam starting as if I don’t wear glasses instead of reading the last prescription and starting at that point? (I am thinking the prescription may be off because my prescription was once changed when I had inflammation of the blood vessels in my brain from lupus and was experiencing strange vision anomalies. I am having trouble watching TV, seeing street signs when driving, and reading with or without my glasses. Your thoughts, please.
Hey doc I have a question I wear glasses two different pairs one for a close one for far away I’m 50 years old my vision is pretty bad but if I takeoff my glasses and I look at something for instance on the TV that is 15 feet away something like subtitles are a blur but if I try to I can force them into almost perfectly clear focus I have to strain pretty hard to do it so I’m wondering do I just need to exercise my eyes and I can bring my vision back an important part of this is I was injured and spent four years basically in bed staring at a TV that was 5 feet away from me before that my vision was pretty good after that it was garbage so yeah is there a chance that I can fix my eyes with some sort of exercise because I’m hoping I just atrophied the muscles in my eyes staring at the same thing for four years I’m 50 years old and I only started to get out of bed around two years ago and I apologize for the lack of proper sentence structure and any other problems with this message because of the accident I dictate rather than type and Siri isn’t that good yet thank you for your time PS i’m not expecting you to tell me how to do it I just wanna know if it’s worth going through the trouble of making an appointment to see an eye specialist and discussing this with them I go once a year because I’m diabetic and because of needing glasses now but I’ve never really explained to them that I have this ability I’ve halfheartedly mentioned it and they’ve never seemed interested in discussing it but if you tell me to I will make a point of discussing it
Hi, My son he is 9 years and just got glasses, but he while wearing them he keeps making awkward face all the time it is like he feels irritation on his face can you suggest what may be causing it
Curious if you have tried the Neurolens (variable prism) to reduce your migraines. You should be able to get a comp pair, but you will need to get someone to run their examination instrument to get an Rx.
QUESTION - What has helped you the most with finding migraine relief? Was it medication, glasses, or a lifestyle change?
Medication easily. I'm not chronic but I've had some months come close.
My friend has been using Axon Optics for over 5 years and it has tremendously with her migraines.
I have severe chronic migraines, and wouldn’t be able to function without medications as well as learning and avoiding my triggers (especially cheap chocolate). I’ve also had benefits from using glasses with the FL 41 tint. The lights in Walmart have always been a trigger for me, but my “pink glasses” make it doable.
100% finding the right medication. After trying about five different meds, we found the right one, but I’m still not functioning at 100% for about 48 hours after a migraine. Although, I haven’t tried any of the solutions involving lenses.
I tend to get bad headaches when I don’t get proper sleep. Good sleep helps me a lot. Btw, the goatee is working ! 🧔🏻♂️
I get a googly eye feeling ahead of a migraine. Almost like my eyes are in a rocking boat and my body is still. I find medication the most helpful. I get light and smell sensitivity. Its great to learn about these glasses!
Taking magnesium citrate supplements made a huge difference in the frequency and severity of my migraines. The citrate is important for absorption. When I accidentally bought magnesium without it, my migraines increased dramatically. (I experience a wide variety of migraine types.) I have also had Axon Optics glasses that function the same way the brand in this video does. 👍 They also have contacts which I will probably try soon.

PS I got my migraines after a TBI. I eat a very clean diet and I watch my triggers. As far as prescriptions I use rizatriptan and cyclobenzaprine.I have found different things to help but I have not been able to get rid of these headaches.
I remember having Migraines since I was 10 (maybe they started before that but I don't know for sure)
In my experience the best thing to PREVENT migraines is tk have a constant routine with no drastic changes (eg. If I sleep for 8hrs/day normally, it will probably trigger a migraine if I sleep for less than 4 or more than 11hrs, or being in a very loud noise place contrary to the norm)
To REMEDY my migraines I've noticed that the best and most effective has always been to sleep or eat red apples (strange perhaps but I've found them to be way more effective than most medications)
Eye guy rockin' the Goatee!
Haha thanks! I ended up getting rid of it this week.
I get headaches and migraines a lot. Alerts are usually the sensation of tingling or sharp pain right behind my eyeballs. That's a sure fire notion I'm about to get a migraine for sure. I never had these when I was younger. I'm coming off a 4 day migraine as we speak. Not much has helped. I've gone through several types of medication, shots, changed my diet, eating habits etc..still searching for that one helpful thing I suppose. I do a lot of screen watching all day so I know that contributes but I also wear special eye wear to help my eyes have less strain when viewing the screen all day. Take breaks when I can and so forth. Thanks for this video. I'm going to look into these. Be nice if they could get FDA approved and insurance could help out with these.
My granddaughter has migraines. I tell her to watch this video. Thanks for another great video.
Hope it helps!
I'm so thankful that you share great information. I started having "regular" migraines, I was able to get rid of them by going to bed early. However, my migraine has changed to a more neurological issue (almost like stroke like symptoms) . My vestibular system gets affected, I have to go through physical therapy to readjust it. I was controlling it with a healthy diet, yoga and sleep schedule. However, my last episode left me unable to recover and was getting migraines constantly. Now, I am using an injectable medication Ajovy. First month on it and seeing how my body adjusts. So far I have not have a migraine. Will look into the glasses since I still suffer from photo phobia.
Update: discontinue the medication because on day 29 (before next shoot) I develop a random itch. It appears and goes, mostly on my face and extremities. Day 30 and 31, after initial shoot, were really bad.
Does mobile phone use give you headaches? If yes, then what remedy do you take at that moment?
I was diagnosed by a specialist with vestibular migraines, which are caused by my chronic migraines. Quick suggestion that works for my vestibular migraines is an icepack for about 10sec behind my left ear on the vagus nerve and the dizziness just fades away. Specialist also suggested boswellia, which may have helped some.
I am on Ajovy and it has worked well for me. I had similar results with Aimovig. Hope you have found something that has been effective for you.
I ordered some 5 minutes ago. I am sure hoping they reduce even a few a year. I get 4 kinds migraine, the aura kind are the scariest.
Your new look is great. Keep up the excellent videos. Very educational!
i have been waiting for this
I found that migrane is usually overexcitement and stress related. Aura comes like electric short circuit that cannot be controlled. So cutting down Coffee helps alot. I only take one normal Cup at morning to wake up and then only caffeine free Coffee. Its ok to use caffeine if you are tired and need to drive. But most of the time people that are too wired up just take more Coffee and get even more wired up.
Good point!
I got the CEFALY device and that has helped the most. I hate the medication I’m on. I get a severe hangover after an attack using MAXALT. I need to search for migraine meds that don’t have that. The CEFALY is great but you need to clean your skin to apply the device then clock out for 45-60 minutes which isn’t always feasible. Hoping glasses help. I just have a cheap set of blue light glasses. I hope these are a step above those. The blue light glasses DO help!
I have a cefaly device also but I think it gave me nerve damage under my eye. So I stopped using it
Vets can get this device for free through the VA! Public service announcement 😊 also Gammacore can be got through the va
I never knew you had such an issue with Migraines, I'm glad there are options like these out there though, it's awesome to see.
I will be trying them.Thanks
Greetings from India !!
☺️🙏
Thank you soo much Dr Allen. These kind of products and some awareness about them in the form of video with a critical analysis as an optom helps us alot more to get us updated and be aware what's coming in the future for us.
🤩👌
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Dr. Allen, as an ex-victim of migraine attacks I only can tell you how I got rid of them: by drinking about 2 to 2 1/2 liter of WATER !! Yes I know, it sounds silly but it's true. And no meat but all the veggies, legumes and fruit that I like. After 3 months the migraines were gone till this day !! 🎊🎀
That is amazing!!! Thanks for sharing. I try to drink more water too. A full liter in the AM before I drink any coffee or anything
The famous doctor who worked out a cure for cancer called THE GERSON THERAPY only came up with the cancer cure after he suffered from severe, debilitating migraine headaches that left him unable to function for days. The Gerson Therapy is quite complex but it does include fruit and veg and no meat.
After reading your reply Doctor Eye Health, let me add this: you can drink your coffee in the morning rather than later in the day. It does not affect the water Water melon is also a very good body hydrator. Have a nice summer Dr. Allen and keep us informed with your interesting videos. Greetings from the Middle East. 🐪
That's great that water helped you but there are still many people who have tried many, many things. I have had migraine for over a decade and have tried multiple medications. I am just now getting my first pair of tinted lenses for migraine. This still won't "cure" my migraines but it will make my days a little more bearable.
@@haven9013 Hello Haven and thanks for your comments anf yes, you are right that it's desirable to get to the root of the migraine problem. I also swallowed numerous tablets, described by numerous doctors. Not only didn't they help, their side effects were terrific.Luckily I bumped into a naturopat who discovered my lack of liquids, thus when I took the matter serious and started drinking water, the migraines stopped (And water has no side effects!) It is certainly worth to try. Keep well and regards from the Middle East. 🙋♀️
Dr. Allen, will these glasses help to prevent visual migraines? When I experience a visual migraine, I always have to take Excedrin Migraine and lay down in a dark room in order to get rid of the visual migraine and headache within about an hours time. On another subject - I noticed your growing a beard but I think you look better without it. Clean shaven makes you look friendlier. Just one person's opinion. Thanks for all the great videos!
Really looking good there with that trimmed beard. Really nice. 😎
Hey, thanks!
I'm super new to migraines and figuring out what triggers mine and what signs/symptoms show up prior to the actual onset. I typically start getting a headache before the migraine itself actually hits. I've learned that if I take OTC headache relief as soon as I start having a headache, it helps to keep the migraine from coming on.
I think my migraines are due to switching my oral contraceptive, so I plan on talking to my gyno about that in August.
It is great you are tuned into your body so much you can tell when they are coming. Hormone shifts are connected with migraines too. (I think that is why sleep is also so important)
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you! It's taken a lot of research and talking with friends who have had migraines for longer than I have to get to this point.
I visited psychiatric and he described me antidepressant … it totally eliminated the migraine attacks with me
Stress is a big factor
DR EYE HELTH YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO EDUCATIONAL I LOVE TO WHATCH THEM EXELENT JOB
Thanks!!
Hey Dr. Allen, i was wondering if these glases could help people without migranes who have photopfobia?
Really good question! I think it would help with light sensitivity indoors, in that sunglasses can make people lower their sensitivity threshold. They are still pretty light tint indoors but they do have a calming effect. I suppose you would never know until you try. If you do ever get a pair it would be nice to know your thoughts.
@@DoctorEyeHealth i would love to try, but the glasses seem really Expensive
is there any others that you know of that is a bit cheaper?
It was so scary i had a migraine but before my vision started getting bad and I was seeing those aura i thought I was going blind but it got better and I got huge migraine afterwards
Showing this to my mom despite the stupidly high price tag on those glasses I guarantee her migraine prone eyes would enjoy it
Do you see a lot of chainsaw eye injuries? Me and my dad both went to the ER after using a stilh chainsaw. While mine was a large cut on my eye lens from flying wood or metal, the ol man had the saw kick back and hit him across the eye which chewed up his face above and below the eye, and mangled his eyelid. The doctor said the teeth scraped his eye but didnt cut it. A close call that is one in a million. He refused to go back to a doctor and his eyelid healed funny. If you looked at him while he was sleeping, you could see enough of his blue eye seeming to be looking back at you.
Getting Blue light filter lenses in my powered glasses helped a lot with my migraines.
I get the top of the head tingles, eye twitching and my eye lids swell and turn bright red. My eyes feel like someone is pushing on them from the back. Then during the migraine it’s like painful pimple sensation in my right eye. But before all that it was stress and waking up every two hours almost every night. All of that compounded with low d3, iron, and b12. I try diet changes and to sleep but right now that’s impossible. My husband has gangrene and cellulitis and he wakes me up due to his pain.
Hi there, would you be able to do a video going over preventing Myopia progression in children and adults.
I have Vestibular Migraines. I take variety of magnesium supplements that total up to 500 mg and Vitamin B3. I have a pair of Migraine glasses that I carry in addition to a pair of prescription sunglasses. I get vertigo along with migraines and they can last for weeks, not days. It’s debilitating. The migraine glasses help me while I’m at work. I’ve got to work…
How much relief do you get from these glasses? I'm considering getting a pair as I work a lot with a computer, and I am struggling with day to day function.😢
How does this compare to FL-41 tint? I've had a lot of success as an LDO with my migraine pts.
Make a video for optic neuritis pls!
Great video, Dr Allen! Can't wait for this product to come up Canada. I typically use a lighter weight frame, water, and Advil/cbd when I can. Don't like to use Advil though
What’s up with Advil?
@@DoctorEyeHealth to my knowledge, with frequent/excess usage, it affects the liver and/or kidney (I forget which one, think it's the latter). And I live an hour away from the Canadian Rockies, so I get frequent Chinooks. I try to use cbd more frequently than Advil
When it comes to migrains ive found blue light glasses from gunnar, specifically the 35% have been my go to lenses, as someone who works in front of a computer screen and also stays infront of that screen after work it was debilitating having migraines due to eye stress.
When i get an aura i take an advil and the migrain is alot less terrible but i suffer from neurological issues during the migrain releated to speech, motor skills and word comprehension/association.
with the blue light glasses from gunnar that hasnt been an issue, in some time (knock on wood) I tried other lenses from a couple of companies but they didnt work well, the downside is the frames from gunnar arent all that great, they are a bit heavy or rub the ear in a not great spot depending on the frame ofc. so my idea world would be oakley apparition frames with gunnar lenses as silicon nose pads dont work great for me on most frames
Will you do a video on what causes seeing a temporary red glow when going from a light to a dark room?
OOOhhh. A video on this would be cool. Fun to try and recreate it in a video. I will see what we can do. thanks
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I had my eye appointment yesterday and my dry eyes have gotten worse, so, he gave me a couple of samples for eye drops and an eye gel to wear at night, because I use a CPAP machine at night. I'm going to continue using over the counter drops before moving on to Rx. Hope you're doing well.🙂
Astigmatism prescriptions always gave me severe migraines. After that, I insisted on no cylinder prescriptions.
Hi!Doc... B4 I didn't know I'd had astigmatism... until I went to my opthalmologist... watching from Puerto Princesa City Palawan- Philippines ❤️
♥️♥️♥️
In the same boat with gettinf auras first... I have about 30 min to get planted... I wish they could make this into a daily contact. My largest change that helped me from migraines is using contacts instead of glasses especially when at the office with the harsh lighting. Went from 2 to 3 times per week to once or twice a month.
Also had luck with BlueBlockers brand tented glasses... Bringing me down to once a month if that.
Hey Dr. Allen! I'm from India and I want to take a visit to your clinic
Well thanks! We are in Minnesota. If you can travel. I have had several viewers make it to the clinic for exams and it is always a huge honor.
I am really interested in these, but they are pricey. Wish they offered a less expensive generic stand alone clip-on.
For me fl-41 or blue blockers haven't helped with light sensitivity or migraines, BUT 25% fl-41 clip-on over blue blocker lenses has worked well for me 😉
Thank you! 🙏
Anytime! Thanks for watching
ty for the video. I'm trying to find the specific frame - first one you are wearing . Is it no longer available at that color?
Too expensive. And we all know it doesn't cost that much to make them. Perhaps they're made out of unicorn dust and we all know how hard that would be to obtain. I'll be interested when they make it more reasonable in price. I just have a thing against profiting over profiting on peoples illnesses. Thanks for listening
Zenni optical, been using since high school.
yeah that’s…. really gross. i agree. check out the brand someone mentioned above, and also migralens
100% agree, and then us patients suffer longer due to the price and most of us being on a budget as in my situation raising a family of 5. $400 money back guarantee doesn't change a thing if I could find a normal priced pair at $50 with no money back guarantee id buy those no question asked.
One pair I got that has really helped were glasses that had mid strength pink lenses that were designed for florescent lights which i found out by mistake when ordering safety glasses for work about a year ago and literally has help with migraines at work 80%+..
So there are other options, and this company will find out, or others will take their tech and make them cheaper. Just give it a year or so..
What's the difference between tjese ir something cheaper like Theraspecs? Are they comparable?
Theraspecs are a type of Fl41 filter and block/ filter out different wavelengths vs avulux. With that being said, Zenni had very affordable fl41 filters that work well.
My migraines usually lead to nausea so I often take both a migraine medicine like excedrin and a nausea pill like pepto bismol. I also have autism which I’ve been told also increases my likelihood of getting migraines 😭 been looking into migraine glasses to wear most of the time since I also just have general light sensitivity being an autistic person 🥴 the $300 price tag is a bit steep though, any recommendations for more affordable ones would be much appreciated (no prescription lenses here!)
Doctor, I have a question plz answer...Other than Glaucoma & Cataracts, Does Eye conjunctivitis too cause Halos around lights?
It can, if it is severe enough to cause corneal swelling or defects
Another awesome video my friend you speak very clearly and have a lot of knowloge love your videos on sunglasses too th r u are my secret hobbie
I have astigmatisms and keraticonis in both my eyes I’m 20 years old and had cornea cross linking done in both my eyes and wear hard contact lenses that I have to put a solution in everyday and can’t sleep in them
7:15 I wonder if it’s the nitrates in those things that is the trigger for some? If so than celery would be another food to avoid.
Hello Dr Allen I am now 20 years old and suffering migraine headache from almost past 10 years.Yesterday an opthalmologist suggest me to use a glasses (-.25).I feel eye pain at the time of migraine problem and light sensitivity but I don't have vision problem.Should I use the glasses? Please let me know
What's the difference between uv sun glasses and these ? I don't have 300 or 400$
These are not sunglasses. These are more for indoor use.
Would UltraDark+ be better for sun? Or Avulux? For Photophobia
Hi, please make a video about cable temples. Thanks
Doctor for using mobile phone or other devices small font is good or big font is good for our eyes.
Why do they say on the website not to use Avulux lenses while driving?
Hello,
I suffer from 4 weeks now, how I can have the mucus on my eyes again?
I had a virus affecting my mucus.
Thank you!
I have suffered from migraines with aura all my life and i have yet to find a solution. Do these help with that??
While they may not specifically help with aura (as the aura is self limiting anyways) they may help with light sensitivity due to migraines.
I have recently found this channel. Being a gas permeable lens wearer can we have tips in finding these lost in the eye rather than soft lenses Great video by the way. You
Great suggestion! That can be tricky to get right. I will see what I can do. otherwise welcome to the channel!
Sausage bacon and hotdogs. They all have nitrates in them. A salt preservative. If someone is sensitive to salt, they will be sensitive to salt family members such as nitrates, msg, etc. They make the receptors fire repeatedly. Similar in function to how aspartame tricks the body into thinking it has sugar in it which still messes with your insulin response. Stick to fresh meats or home smoked bacon without nitrates. I eat hotdogs that do not have nitrates and they do not give me headaches, although they do make me feel bloated after 2 or 3 :)
Hey thanks for sharing!
Can these glasses also be used instead of sunglasses outdoors? Are they as effective in bright sunlight as polarised sunglasses?
How Do I get rid of aura migraine attack ? 😮💨😮💨 I get two per month sometimes more 😭😳 any suggetions ?
For me, when I first feel one coming I try to drink water, eat something, I will take OTC headache meds and then sleep if I can. I also have been putting the avulux glasses in the video on over the last year and I feel they help.
@@DoctorEyeHealth ah Okay just assure that it is something normal and it doesn't mean that there something wrong with ur head or brain :((
Have you tried Axon Optics glasses? Any idea how they differ, are they better, etc? Thank you, very helpful channel 😊
They are now made by the same company, kinda, same lens
Question, why do you still wear contacts and haven’t gotten lasik ? Or whats your general opinion about it
Thanks for the great question. Contact lenses have worked very well for me over the years. The reason I have chosen to not get lasik is because I suffer from dryness to begin with. and lasik often makes that much worse. Glaucoma also runs in my family and thinning the cornea can throw off some glaucoma measurements.
@@DoctorEyeHealth okay got It do you think overall its a good and safe procedure ? and do you think despite those factors that you'd ever do it in your life ?
Hello, I know this probably has nothing to do with the video, but have you tried Izivia eye drops dry eye? I say an ad for them and went to their website. Thanks
I wonder if this also works well while driving during nighttime
How would this work for someone who has Retinitis Pigmentosa (our Usher syndrome)?
Sadly, I have no scientific evidence to base an opinion on. I imagine it might help with indoor light sensitivity but unlikely to have any other effect. I suppose someone could try though. I really need to do a video on those two conditions.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I was just curious as I have Usher (type 2a) and migraines and wondered how the night blindness would be affected. The whole mood lighting in restaurants are horrible for me to see in, and then light fixtures displays at hardware stores make it near impossible to see the actually fixture. 🤦♀️ I can’t win 😂
Is anti glare and anti reflective coating are the same or not! should I apply anti glare and anti reflective coating in both sides or just in inside part for sunglasses! Is dust and water repellent is a coating or natural attributes of polycarbonate lens! Please reply, it will help me a lot
Hey Krishna! Anti-glare is just another way of saying Anti-reflective coating. It is best to have anti reflective coatings on both sides of spectacle lenses and at least on the backside of sunglasses. Dust and water repellent is a coating that is often combined with better or higher end anti-reflectives. Polycarb lenses naturally block almost 100% UV light and are more impact resistant, but do tend to scratch easier and have more color distortion.
@@DoctorEyeHealth thank you.
You mentioned new glasses lenses that were coming to the market that are virtually unscratchable about a year ago. Did they ever go on sale?
Yes! They are called The Rock. But they can indeed still be scratched but are much more difficult to do so.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I need them on my next glasses. I usually get a scratch resistant coating but no matter how careful I am including using calocloth glasses cleaning cloths which are super soft my glasses still eventually get scratched.
Do they cost a small fortune though. I'll ask my optician here in Ireland if it's possible to get them when I get my next pair of glasses
My cousin sister gets migraine headache,what she does is she immediately sleeps when she feel or visuals auras....
do they help for visual snow ?
Hello! Would this glasses help with Visual Snow Syndrome? I was just diagnosed this month.
I don't know yet as I have not seen any published data. But i can tell you from just putting them on and looking for my own VS...I still see the VS. But perhaps if you get light sensitivity with VS it could help?
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks for the info! 😁
Hey Dr. Allen, I've been watching you for over a year now. Recently I found out I had keratoconus and received a Gas Permeable Contact lenses. Now my question is that do I put in the solution INSIDE the case with the lenses everyday? And when I take the lenses out of the case (in the morning), do I throw out the solution from the case, let it dry and when I'm done wearing the lenses, put back the solution in the case with the lenses?
I am going back to my doctor for a check-up in the following month, but wanted some insight from you.
I've watched your Hard Contact Lenses video and commented on that, but thought I'd comment on this video since it's new.
dude my last optometrist gave me a prescription that was too strong in one eye and it was causing me eye pain. I thought something was wrong with my eye until my new optometrist pointed out the mistake that my old optometrist made. Can you make a video about this??
Polarized glasses is the same of uv400 glasses?
Interesting
I take a combo of daily medications Botox plus ib profit& Maxalt when I need it
Thank u for this video didn’t know these existed
Do these work for a broad range of sensitivities?
Like photophobia, IRLEN etc
hey doc can i get lasik in 1 eye and icl in the other? would it make anything bad?
Hello doctor.How r u.Im from Pakistan.I like ur videos v much.These r v informative and good.I wish to meet with you but it's impossible.❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹
So nice of you! Perhaps some day we will be able to meet. Many blessings to you.
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks
I understand they don't ship prescription lenses outside USA and UK and Australia . Really Sad
do you get a bad headache only or do you get the numbness, blindness, and puking? I get all of the above very badly
hi again I want to let u know their sight-axon optics are against driving with these glasses-but in the previous generation that was pinkish-u sad you will make them your driving and night glasses-perhaps u can talk about the changes they made and they do not sell sunglass or photochromatic any more
2:28 associated via correlation or causation? If correlation, then how strong is the data?
After what we went through in the last 2-3 yrs, I'm going to not believe any corporate research unless there's unfathomably substantial evidence cross-verified by independent researchers
Remember,
There was quite a bit of "research" hype for blue-blocking lenses, and then their benefits turned out to be meh. Now, Dr. Andrew Huberman often recommend against wearing those because it blocks wavelengths needed for some neurochemistry. (I'm not about to write an esaay here. You wany to know more? Go to his podcasts)
I think having some reservation about any product/research that comes out is very good. I think a lot of people demonize the "blue light" hype but it was mostly fabricated by marketing teams, not the researchers. There is still a lot we don't know about blue light. I do respect Dr. Huberman but I personally do not know him and would love to discuss some eye health topics with him.
@@DoctorEyeHealth so, essentially, you guys are also facing the same problem that we engineers are, hey?
Marketing teams fabricate lies and blame "science" when they're exposed.
At this point, we might as well start awarding B.Sc. degrees to all MBAs and Journos. 😄
@@DoctorEyeHealth and yes, Dr. Huberman's suggestions have really helped me quite a bit. He talks quite a bit about leveraging light exposure to gain certain benefits, so we'd be glad to see you have a chat with him 👍
Alright, I feel I have to ask, but I’m very scared of the answer.
A year ago, I got eye floaters. A couple of months before that I started wearing contacts, and often I did not wash my hands before taking my contacts out (I regret this so much now). One day I noticed I had a couple of noticeable floaters, and since then I have not worn contacts and I get a lot of anxiety thinking of them because I think it’s because of them and my lack of hand washing which caused my floaters. (Like maybe I got an infection)
My question is, is it possible that me not washing my hands before taking contacts out caused my floaters, and can wearing contacts worsen my floaters? If you answer, thank you.
The answer is no to both...
Floaters are perfectly normal and the body will just reabsorb them eventually, they are not debris in your eye- your eyes will water to flush stuff out that dirty hands would have gotten in your eyes.
@@roll-nblessed22 While it's possible to reabsorb some types of floaters, the vast majority of floaters do not.
Please make a video about SWS STURGE WEBER SYNDROME!!! 😁👍
Noted!
are these glasses ok to wear all day or online when a migraine is coming on?
The website says you can. I read the faq : P
how is it compered to axon?
Made by the same company
I get a black out and then a head ache ... because of light ..
I am light sensitive
I really like the mustache...
Dr Allen, I am 75 years old and my vision is always blurry. I have complained to my ophthalmologist that my prescription is not correcting my astigmatism. But she says it is because I am not managing my blood sugar. However, my A1C is always under 7.0 and is currently 6.7. My diabetes nurse is very pleased with that, and the ophthalmologist even says she sees no evidence of eye damage. Do you think it would help if I ask the eye clinic to give me an eye exam starting as if I don’t wear glasses instead of reading the last prescription and starting at that point? (I am thinking the prescription may be off because my prescription was once changed when I had inflammation of the blood vessels in my brain from lupus and was experiencing strange vision anomalies. I am having trouble watching TV, seeing street signs when driving, and reading with or without my glasses. Your thoughts, please.
Try going to an optometrist instead. Ophthalmologists are notoriously bad at glasses prescriptions. I have to fix their prescriptions all the time...
they look too clear for me to go outside and wear them with a fully sunny day, kinda scares me!!!
Hey doc I have a question I wear glasses two different pairs one for a close one for far away I’m 50 years old my vision is pretty bad but if I takeoff my glasses and I look at something for instance on the TV that is 15 feet away something like subtitles are a blur but if I try to I can force them into almost perfectly clear focus I have to strain pretty hard to do it so I’m wondering do I just need to exercise my eyes and I can bring my vision back an important part of this is I was injured and spent four years basically in bed staring at a TV that was 5 feet away from me before that my vision was pretty good after that it was garbage so yeah is there a chance that I can fix my eyes with some sort of exercise because I’m hoping I just atrophied the muscles in my eyes staring at the same thing for four years I’m 50 years old and I only started to get out of bed around two years ago and I apologize for the lack of proper sentence structure and any other problems with this message because of the accident I dictate rather than type and Siri isn’t that good yet thank you for your time
PS i’m not expecting you to tell me how to do it I just wanna know if it’s worth going through the trouble of making an appointment to see an eye specialist and discussing this with them I go once a year because I’m diabetic and because of needing glasses now but I’ve never really explained to them that I have this ability I’ve halfheartedly mentioned it and they’ve never seemed interested in discussing it but if you tell me to I will make a point of discussing it
Hi,
My son he is 9 years and just got glasses, but he while wearing them he keeps making awkward face all the time it is like he feels irritation on his face can you suggest what may be causing it
Excessive cylinders.
Curious if you have tried the Neurolens (variable prism) to reduce your migraines. You should be able to get a comp pair, but you will need to get someone to run their examination instrument to get an Rx.
We do them in our office and I've seen plenty of sucees with the patients that try them.
