New Spectacle Lenses Offer Help For Migraine Sufferers And Those With Visual Dyslexia

LEICESTER, U.K. - Dec. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- Migraine affects up to 15% of the population and has many causes. One of the most common is a visual trigger caused by a disruptive sensory input often flicker and or pattern glare of particular spatial frequency (around 3 cycles per second) which has been found to precipitate migraine attacks and headaches in many migraine sufferers. This can emanate from fluorescent lighting, computer screens, sunlight reflecting of window blinds or from sunlight reflecting off a car windscreen and or even when viewing a black and white stripped shirt!

Blue light emanating from smart phone screens, tablets, laptops and LED’s have also been found to be a particularly disturbing trigger for some too.

Honeycomb lens technology aligns scattered light reflections, dampens flicker, sharpens contrast, reduces eyestrain, and also blocks UV radiation. In doing so, Honeycomb lenses can have tremendous benefit to those that suffer from forms of visual migraine.

In some cases the results of the lens have also produced as good or even better outcomes than coloured precision-tinted lenses for patients who suffer from Visual Dyslexia (also known as Mears-Irlen Syndrome) and can provide a more discrete solution for the treatment of Visual Dyslexia than coloured overlays and precision tinted lenses.

Feedback on the Honeycomb lens has also been very positive not only those who suffer from Visual Stress or Visual Dyslexia but from those who simply work with computers or those who have to drive at night or are exposed to high levels of artificial lighting found in offices, clinics and shops too. Honeycomb technology not only reduces eyestrain, headaches and fatigue it allows you to see more clearly and comfortably too.

Who are Honeycomb lenses suitable for?

1. If You Suffer With Visual Migraine, Especially Migraine With Aura.

For many, visual migraine is triggered by disruptive sensory input. More specifically, flicker and pattern glare has been shown to precipitate migraine. Honeycomb lenses dampen flicker and can prevent migraines.

2. If You Have Visual Dyslexia (aka Visual Stress & Meares Irlen Syndrome).

Those with visual dyslexia often describe seeing patterns like rivers on the page, and sometimes see text as moving. While coloured lenses often work, they aren’t discreet and some people don’t like wearing them. Honeycomb lenses are completely inconspicuous and can work just as well as coloured lenses.

3. If You Can 'Hear' Fluorescent Lights.

Some people with sensitivity can see and hear fluorescent lights as they flicker on and off. This can be extremely distracting. In addition to dampening flicker, Honeycomb lenses protect your eyes from electromagnetic radiation and should stop this happening.

4. If You Dislike Being In Supermarkets.

“Supermarket syndrome” is a term used to describe the disorientation and light-headedness some people feel while under supermarket lighting. A more accurate term for this syndrome is the ‘Bucha effect.’ Honeycomb lenses can prevent supermarket syndrome.

5. If You Don’t Like Stripy Patterns.

Some people find stripy patterns aversive. This is particularly true of stripes of a certain width and spacing, and when viewed from a certain distance. Those that dislike stripy patterns may be suffering from ‘pattern glare.’ Drivers may find the road markings approaching a roundabout particularly bothersome, and the metal bars across escalator stairs are also the right distance apart to cause problems. Honeycomb lenses have been shown to prevent pattern glare.

6. If You Hate Driving At Night.

Many people find driving at night difficult, due to on-coming headlight glare. Standard anti-reflection coatings do not help much, but Honeycomb lenses can make a difference! In addition to having advanced anti-reflection properties, Honeycomb lenses also channel the light, reducing the glare, improving contrast and reducing eye fatigue and tiredness.

The results of Honeycomb lenses have been so positive that Visual Answers now offer those all patients who have had an assessment with them and purchase honeycomb lenses based on their recommendation a full 'no quibble' 30 day money back guarantee if they don’t notice an improvement in their symptoms.
