Are migraines or light sensitivity disrupting your daily life? In a recent article from Optometric Management, top optometrists share how ALTIUS Performance-Tinted Contact Lenses are transforming patient care by reducing migraine intensity and frequency.

These FDA-cleared lenses, developed by Performance Vision Technologies, are designed to filter 100% of ultraviolet rays and block over 99% of blue light. By reducing chromatic aberrations (visual noise) by 53%, the lenses offer migraine sufferers relief from light sensitivity, helping them perform everyday tasks more comfortably—including digital screen use. Available in both plano and corrective powers, ALTIUS lenses provide a practical, innovative solution for those experiencing debilitating headaches.

Real Success Stories From Leading Experts

• Sydney Madrigal, OD, MPH: After attending the 2024 Global Specialty Lens Symposium (GSLS), Dr. Madrigal successfully fit a patient with Altius Grey-Green lenses, helping the patient achieve 20/20 vision from a 20/40 prescription while feeling significant symptom relief.
• Paola Diaz, OD: With six months of experience prescribing ALTIUS lenses at Lone Star Vision, Dr. Diaz has seen reduced migraine severity and fewer episodes reported by her patients.
• Heather Webster, OD: At the Weber Neuro-Ocular Institute, Dr. Webster’s patients report a 90% success rate in diminishing migraine symptoms, especially for those suffering from concussions or chronic migraines.

These lenses are not only changing lives but also offering new hope to those struggling with migraines and other light sensitivity conditions.
