Vision and Migraine Relief: The Fascinating World of Eyewear

August 11, 2023

Welcome to the intriguing world of eyewear, where functionality meets fashion, and where glasses do much more than just improve your vision. At CustomEyes, we believe that eyewear is not just a necessity but a statement piece that complements your unique style. In this article, we'll explore the myriad ways in which eyewear impacts our lives, from enhancing our fashion to potentially offering relief from migraines.

Seeing Clearly, Looking Stylish

Glasses have always been an essential tool for seeing the world clearly, revealing its colors and intricate details. But beyond the practicality, they have evolved into a fashion accessory that can express your personality and elevate your overall appearance. Whether you prefer a classic, sophisticated look or a bold and trendy style, the right pair of glasses can make a powerful fashion statement.

Eyewear and Migraine Relief

Did you know that the right pair of glasses could potentially help ease migraines? CustomEyes is at the forefront of groundbreaking research involving specialized tinting on lenses, designed to filter specific light ranges within the visible spectrum. These tinted lenses have shown promising results in easing migraine symptoms for individuals particularly sensitive to light triggers.


This innovative approach was initially explored in a research project in Birmingham, England, back in the early 1990s, where children with migraine headaches wore specially filtered spectacles. A more recent study in 2020, spanning different age groups, also demonstrated positive outcomes using these specially designed filters.


According to the researchers, wearing these filters reduced light sensitivity in the subjects and lessened the frequency and severity of their migraine headaches. Since then, these filtered lenses have been successfully employed in treating various conditions, including migraines.


Beyond Migraines: Caring for Your Visual Spectrum

At CustomEyes, our commitment to our client's needs goes beyond fashion and migraine relief. We prioritize your overall visual spectrum, ensuring safety and top-notch quality in every pair of eyewear we provide. Our dedicated team continuously explores cutting-edge technologies and the latest research to design lenses that cater to your unique lifestyle and visual health.


Thanks to the support from the Benign Essential Blepharospasm Research Foundation, significant strides have been made in understanding the connection between light sensitivity and conditions like migraines and blepharospasm. Patients with these conditions tend to suffer more from light sensitivity, but when their light sensitivity is addressed, improvements in their blepharospasm and migraine symptoms have been observed.


Join Us on the Journey to Better Vision

Your vision and wellness are our top priorities at CustomEyes — we're always seeking the most advanced and effective ways to improve your eyesight and look great doing it! As we delve deeper into the study results, we're excited to learn more about this promising solution for our clients suffering from migraines.
