- Earlier studies suggest that migraine sufferers’ sensitivity to light may be reduced using tinted lenses. Our study identifies the optimal tint type and shows that these lenses enable visual tasks, in this case searching for words in a computerised test, are performed significantly more quickly.
Our findings indicate that migraine sufferers might experience similar benefits from these lenses in other day-to-day activities that involve concentrated visual attention. Media interest in this article includes an interview in The Naked Scientists, a piece in Physician's Weekly and a communication from a leading migraine physician in Chicago to his patient base (chicagoheadacheclinic.com).
