Soft Contact Lenses for Migraine & Light Sensitivity

I thought nothing could get better than the glasses, but these contacts are incredible. Artificial light (mainly LEDs) is my primary migraine trigger. I would still have allodynia and pain some days after wearing the glasses, and an occasional migraine (still 1000% better than daily migraines like before I had axon glasses) but 2 weeks into wearing these contacts and I have had no migraines. No breakthrough pain. And I’ve been working 10-12 hour days in harsh light. Absolutely awesome.

I wear these anytime I’ll be in fluorescent lighting. Mostly at work. It helps to prevent my headaches. I used to have to wear sunglasses all day everyday at work, now I can put these in and look like a normal person. So wonderful.

I started using Axon contacts for photophobia. It works well and very comfortable. I would suggest this contacts to anyone light sensitivity. It took me couple of days to adjust to these lenses but jow I feel very normal and comfortable.

I am baffled by the recent price increase. Purchased my last pair for $365 and they were helpful for my photo-sensitivity associated with migraines. Spent the last several months saving for a new set, and now that it's definitely time to replace the lenses, was horribly surprised to discover the NEARLY $150 PRICE JUMP! I was barely able to convince myself that a single pair of soft contact lenses (with no vision correction!) were worth the $365. Especially when they're now taking 7+ weeks to arrive, I'll likely be purchasing a pair of Fl-41 tinted glasses from another company instead.

I love my contacts and they are very comfortable as well.

I love what the contacts do as far as helping with my migraines. Unfortunately already my second pair after less than 30 days has a tear in it and I’m very careful with handling and don’t even wear them 7 days a week.

I love them, they help me so much. The one thing that I don't like Is having to take them out and put them back in because it takes a little for my eyes to readjust each time. Overall though they're great and help a lot with my photophobia and migraines.

Wearing the contact lenses have helped my light sensitivity so much!! I'm so excited that these have been created.

Best thing I have ever gotten for my migraines! I get a new pair every year.

I purchased the 7mm pupil-only tinted contacts, and am very happy with them. The 7mm contacts provide more coverage than glasses, but they do not cover the outer edges of my peripheral vision. If you are triggered by light (I am not), you may consider the fully-tinted contacts. I have light hazel/green eyes. Upon close inspection in a well-lit area, the tint appears brown with a hint of violet. Practically, it looks like my pupil is just larger, which is unnoticeable unless someone is within arms-reach of me and maintaining eye contact. I wear these while driving at night with no problems. Objects are still clearly visible, but are not as bright as they otherwise would be. The contacts, I have noticed, also prevent me from being temporarily blinded by other cars' headlights.

I have had daily severe photophobia since 2011 due to head injury. Worked with my optometrist to ensure that the lenses would fully filter all light. These lenses have truly made a huge difference in the quality of my life as chronic migraine were reduced from 7 days to 2 days/week enabling me to focus on other recovery efforts. THANK YOU AXONOPTICS!

So i was slightly skeptical since i have such SEVERE CHRONIC migraines, but OMG its closest thing to MIRACLE and i NEVER leave reviews unless its 100% worth it. I can finally turn on lights in house on not cringe or look for place to hide. I even went outside without dying from pain. Just those things have kept me housebound for past few yrs unable to do anything because of migraines. Now i have a chance to be able to do more.

To begin, I have not tried the glasses for fear that too much light would sneak in around the frames. I went straight for the contacts to ensure 100% coverage from the light. I work in an office with florescent lights 40 hours a week and I can't adequately express the relief these contacts have given me. They arrived at my house on a Thursday evening. For weeks prior, I learned how to wear contacts with a throw-away pair my eye doctor gave me (to ensure I wouldn't spend money on these bad boys and then accidentally ruin them). Friday morning, I walked into work with them in and IMMEDIATELY noticed there wasn't any pain. By the time I was at my desk, I was crying I was so happy. I have green eyes but with these on, they are dark brown. I've had coworkers not even notice a difference. However, my husband and I both think it's funny looking, purely because I have vividly green eyes normally. Either way, if your pain is truly terrible, you won't care if they made your eyes yellow! The tint is a magenta color and it is built into the contact -- not just a film on top of the contact. These truly are incredible and I wish more doctors would make these available. I am so happy. Thank you, Axon Optics.

This product really helped me with my migraine. If you suffer from headaches due to prolong wear of glasses, this is definitely a must try.
