Avulux Lenses: Light Sensitivity Relief for Migraine and Eye Comfort
Avulux lenses are specially engineered to help people who experience light sensitivity, migraine, or digital eye strain. Using precision-filtering technology, these lenses block the specific wavelengths of light that can trigger discomfort while allowing soothing light to pass through naturally.

Neurolens: Relief from Eye Misalignment and Digital Eye Strain
Neurolens uses prism technology to correct small misalignments between the eyes that can cause symptoms like headaches, neck and shoulder tension, motion sickness, and visual fatigue.
Unlike standard prism lenses, Neurolens uses a unique contoured prism design which works to align your eyes at all distances, whether you’re reading, driving, or watching TV. This allows you to experience comfortable vision with the same pair of glasses, no matter what activity or task you’re involved in.
By helping your eyes work together more comfortably, Neurolens provides lasting relief for people who have eye misalignment. After a quick diagnostic test, custom lenses are prescribed to match your unique eye alignment and prescription, helping you experience clearer, more comfortable vision throughout your day.
