Migraine Management

We offer solutions for Migraines and Light Sensitivity (Photophobia). Many people who struggle with headaches or migraines don’t realize that their eyes can play a major role in their symptoms. Optometrists can now use advanced tools—like the Newton system (formerly Neurolens) and Seequence technology—to measure how well the eyes work together and how that alignment affects the visual system. When the eyes are slightly misaligned, it can strain the nerves that connect vision and head movement, leading to headaches, neck discomfort, and even dizziness. Using Newton’s Contoured Prism™ and Convergence Boost™ lenses, optometrists can help relieve that strain and reduce migraine-related discomfort, often without medication.

For patients sensitive to light or whose migraines are triggered by glare, Avulux lenses offer a scientifically tested solution. These specialized lenses filter out specific wavelengths of light known to aggravate migraines while allowing soothing green light through. By combining technologies like Newton, Seequence, and Avulux, the optometrists at Wood Vision Source can now evaluate and manage both the eye-alignment and light-sensitivity aspects of migraine and photophobia, offering patients more complete and lasting relief. Our goal is to help you experience fewer migraines and enhance your quality of life through targeted, preventative eye care.
