Both FL-41 and Avulux lens coatings offer clinically supported relief for migraines triggered by light sensitivity. Choosing between them requires considering several factors: FL-41 lenses are available in a range of tints, which can significantly alter color perception, while Avulux lenses are engineered for minimal color distortion—an important consideration for professionals such as graphic artists or anyone requiring accurate color vision. Your selection should be guided by your level of photosensitivity, where you intend to use the glasses, your need for true color accuracy, and also relative cost, as Avulux lenses typically command a higher price point than most FL-41 options..
