Discover the next generation of light-filtering technology with Avulux lenses at French Optical. Designed for people living with migraine and light sensitivity, Avulux lenses use patented precision optics to selectively filter harmful wavelengths while preserving natural color perception. Developed through years of clinical research, these innovative lenses help improve everyday visual comfort without the dark tint of traditional migraine glasses.
Clinically Proven Precision Light Filtering

Its patented multi-band optical filter blocks up to 97% of harmful blue, amber, and red light while allowing soothing green light to pass through naturally. This advanced technology helps reduce light-triggered discomfort without significantly altering how colors appear.

Unlike conventional blue light or FL-41 lenses, Avulux is engineered for continuous daily wear. Whether you’re working under LED lighting, spending hours in front of digital screens, or navigating bright indoor environments, the lenses are designed to provide comfortable vision throughout the day while maintaining excellent visual clarity

Avulux vs. Traditional Migraine Tints
Standard FL-41 and rose tints dim light broadly. Avulux targets only the wavelengths that matter.

- Targets specific blue, amber, and red trigger wavelengths
- Preserves natural color perception for screens and detail work

Broad, Non-Selective Dimming

- Frequently requires switching between multiple pairs
Avulux Frequently Asked Questions
Who are Avulux lenses designed for?
Avulux is designed for anyone experiencing migraine, photophobia (light sensitivity), or discomfort from LED lighting and digital screens. Many patients wear them at work, while driving, or throughout the day as their primary eyewear.
Can Avulux lenses be made with my prescription?
Yes. Avulux lenses can be customized with your prescription and fitted into a frame of your choice at French Optical, including both single vision and progressive prescriptions.
How is Avulux different from blue light glasses?
Most blue light glasses use a general-purpose coating with minimal filtering. Avulux uses a patented, clinically tested multi-band lens engineered specifically to filter the light wavelengths most associated with migraine and photophobia — not just blue light.
