Photosensitive Migraine Relief Through Specialized Eye Care
For many people, bright light is one of the most common migraine triggers. Photosensitive migraines can develop when sunlight, fluorescent lighting, computer screens, headlights, or glare place excessive stress on the visual system.
At Cantrell Eye Care, we work with patients who experience light-triggered headaches and migraines. A comprehensive eye examination can help identify visual factors that may contribute to discomfort and determine whether specialized lenses could improve visual comfort.
Reducing exposure to problematic light wavelengths may help some patients better tolerate everyday environments and reduce visual strain.
