Before Avulux Migraine & Light Sensitivity Lenses officially launched in XXXX, a neuro-ophthalmologist, photonics researcher, and ophthalmic entrepreneur used research from the University of Utah’s Moran Eye Center, to develop a light filtering lens to help people living with photosensitive migraine.

The first line of lenses used an FL-41 tint formulation and launched in June 2011. While the formulation filtered some wavelengths of light, the pinkish hue discolored the patient’s view and did not effectively filter the harmful wavelengths of light shown to trigger or worsen migraine attacks.
