Seasonal Migraine Triggers and Avulux Lenses 🍂

The arrival of fall is a beautiful time of year, but it also brings changes in barometric pressure, the amount of daylight, and sleep patterns—all of which can be migraine triggers.

If light sensitivity is part of your migraine experience, we offer Avulux lenses, in both prescription and non-prescription options, which are clinically proven to help mitigate migraine symptoms.

We have helped many patients with Avulux, and want to do the same for you!

*Avulux uses lens technology that is FDA-authorized to reduce the impact of light sensitivity associated with episodic migraine in patients ages 12 and older. Avulux is intended to be used alongside your usual migraine care, including medications as prescribed.

Why Does Driving at Night Become More Difficult with Aging? 🌙 🚙
It can become more challenging for several reasons:

•The pupil becomes smaller and reacts more slowly to changes in light, so older eyes don't take in as much light in dark conditions.

•Cataract development can scatter light, making headlights and streetlights appear brighter or produce halos.

•Reduced contrast sensitivity makes seeing signs and pedestrians against a dark background more difficult.

•Dry eyes and reduced tear-film quality may cause fluctuating or blurry vision, which can be particularly noticeable when driving at night.

If nighttime driving is becoming more difficult, schedule an eye exam to find out what may be contributing to the problem. Your doctor will discuss possible ways to help make it more clear and comfortable.

Twenty-five years seems like a long time ago, yet like yesterday, especially for New Yorkers. We will never forget the courage and sacrifice of those who ran toward danger, the strength of those who carried on after incredible loss, and the countless acts of kindness and compassion that followed.

As an eye care family, we are reminded of the importance of seeing not only with our eyes, but with our hearts — recognizing the humanity, courage, and goodness in one another.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
