Living in New Hamburg and struggling with migraines or light sensitivity? Avulux lenses might be the non-invasive relief you’ve been looking for, available now at Dolman Eyecare Centre.
If you live in New Hamburg, chances are you spend a fair amount of your day staring at screens, whether it's a home office setup in Baden, scrolling on your phone while waiting in Kitchener traffic, or helping your kids with homework on a tablet in Wellesley. Pair that with Southern Ontario’s bright snowy winters and muggy, high-glare summers, and it's no surprise that more people are dealing with migraines triggered by light sensitivity.
At Dolman Eyecare Centre, our optometrists understand that living with migraine isn’t just about the headache; it’s about the small daily discomforts that stack up until they take over your quality of life. That’s why we offer Avulux lenses, a groundbreaking option that’s helping patients reduce migraine frequency and intensity, right here in New Hamburg.
What Are Avulux Lenses?
Avulux lenses are a specially engineered optical lens designed for people who experience migraines triggered or worsened by light, especially blue, amber, and red light. Unlike tinted or polarized sunglasses, Avulux filters out only the wavelengths that are proven to aggravate migraine attacks, while letting in the light you actually need to function and feel well.
Avulux lenses use a patented, multi-band light filtering system. They reduce blue and amber light by over 90%, and let soothing green light pass through—helping balance your visual experience while minimizing discomfort. These lenses are non-invasive, drug-free, and can be worn daily or just during your most sensitive moments.
Migraine & Light Sensitivity in New Hamburg: What’s the Connection?
Many people in New Hamburg experience light sensitivity (photophobia) even when they're not having a migraine. Between the frequent overcast days and the sudden brightness when the sun breaks through, the eyes often struggle to adjust. Combine that with the amount of time we spend under artificial lighting, especially fluorescent and LED bulbs, and it’s easy to see why headaches are becoming more common across all age groups.
In our eye clinic, we’ve noticed more patients mentioning tension headaches that start mid-morning and drag into the evening. Often, these patients are juggling multiple responsibilities: they work on computers, manage households, and help aging parents, all while their eyes are bombarded with light that causes discomfort or pain.
While light sensitivity can stem from several causes, many of our patients find that addressing it directly - with solutions like Avulux - is what finally gives them relief.
Who Can Benefit from Avulux?
At Dolman Eyecare Centre, we’ve fitted Avulux lenses for a wide range of patients. We see students from Stratford struggling with migraines after long study sessions. We work with busy professionals from Kitchener whose headaches spike after a day of back-to-back video calls. We’ve even helped retired residents in New Hamburg who notice that the glare off snow or water sets off visual disturbances.
If you:
- Get headaches when exposed to bright or flickering lights,
- Spend hours on digital screens each day,
- Have migraines that worsen in brightly lit environments,
- Or find that regular sunglasses don’t help with indoor light sensitivity,
Avulux lenses might be a helpful addition to your care plan.
