Glasses for Migraine Headaches and Epilepsy SUN SMITH

Studies show that approximately 80% of migraine patients report light sensitivity during attacks, and almost half report that light sensitivity is the most bothersome symptom following a headache. Light wavelengths stimulating intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (IPRGCs) exacerbate headache-associated light sensitivity.

Randomized Controlled Trial

Lesa France developed glasses for headaches with an absorptive filter that block wavelengths exacerbating migraine pain and transmit the most comfortable wavelengths. The filters ameliorate headache pain and light sensitivity. 

Glasses with Magelis filter are intended to reduce the severity of headache pain in adult patients diagnosed with episodic migraine headaches, and/or epilepsy attacks.

Principle

Glasses for headaches with migraine/epilepsy preventive filter Magelis:
This absorptive filter, worn constantly, reduces visual stress and softens light flashes. This dual action significantly reduces headaches, migraine and/or epilepsy attacks.

Glasses for epilepsy with preventive absorptive filter Epilepsie EPX:
This lens is deep blue with low light transmission. It helps to prevent and stop epileptic seizures. The special colour simulates a resting or sleeping position and quickly calms the subject. Epilepsy overglasses stop stroboscopic effects.

Clinical Trial/Epilepsy

Magelis Classique - The anti-migraine shade.
Migraines are frequent headaches. They are generally disabling because they can interfere with the sufferer's activity. A migraine lasts between 4 and 72 hours. Symptoms include phonophobia, photophobia, nausea, and even vomiting and are generally aggravated by physical exertion. Migraines are three times more common in women than men and often occur between the ages of 10 and 40. There are various causes of migraines, with the ophthalmic factor frequently being a cause.

Magelis filter acts on different levels. It eliminates harmful and disabling blue light and affects light transmission and perception. By altering the visible spectrum, Magelis also affects neurotransmitters and limits light transmission, which generates additional stress. Therefore, it is beneficial in the fight against photophobia.
Worn all the time, this tint reduces visual stress and attenuates light flashes.
This dual action significantly reduces migraine and/or epilepsy attacks.
Light transmission: available in 5 different light transmissions, each patient will be able to choose an intensity to suit their sensitivity.

Magelis Akebi - A winning combination of headache prevention and contrast.
Some people are so sensitive to light that they suffer from headaches.
This phenomenon is mainly caused by wavelengths below 500 nm—in other words, blue light. By effectively and precisely filtering the right wavelengths, a lens can inhibit chemical behaviour in the brain or regulate a wearer's circadian cycle.
The eye contains light-sensitive retinal ganglion cells that generate melanopsin.
Melanopsin facilitates colour vision in bright light. It is mainly released by exposure to blue light. Some studies have shown that this molecule may be involved in light-related ophthalmic headaches.

Akebi filter eliminates harmful and disabling blue light and affects light transmission and perception. By modifying the visible spectrum, it also affects neurotransmitters and limits the transmission of light, which generates additional stress. Therefore, it is beneficial in the fight against photophobia. When worn continuously, this tint reduces visual stress and attenuates light flashes. This action significantly reduces migraine and/or epilepsy attacks. Akebi also significantly improves contrast vision.
This may also be suitable for visually impaired people.
Light transmission: five different light transmissions are available, and each patient can choose the intensity that best suits their sensitivity.

The glasses are used as standard non-refractive sunglasses and are available in different sun protection categories from 1 (indoor or cloudy) to 3-4 (outdoor, sunny weather) and tints. Category 4 - not suitable for driving!

Origin: France

Certification: CE

If you need vision correction, you can (1) buy and wear the filter clip-on over your existing prescription glasses, or you can (2) order these glasses with prescription. These glasses are suitable for all types of prescription lenses with or without filters. If you would like to order the glasses with prescription, please order additionally your ophthalmic prescription lenses using the links below:

Order low prescription lenses (0.25D - 2.00D)

Order medium prescription lenses (2.25D - 4.75D)

Please note, that online order with prescription is not available for children, high prescriptions (above -5.00D), high face asymmetry, squint, bifocal or progressive lenses (varifocals). If you have mentioned above conditions, or don't have the prescription or need to update it, you can book a clinical appointment for your eye test with an optometrist using the link below:
