Light Hurts With Migraine? 5 Reasons to Consider FL-41

A targeted tint. A wearable frame. A practical step towards managing uncomfortable light.

When light is part of the problem, the lens is a useful place to start. Seren puts FL-41-tinted lenses in a black everyday frame. Here are five reasons to consider this light-filtering option for your routine.

01

A lens can address light beyond the screen

The key point: Seren filters light passing through its FL-41-tinted lenses.

Why it matters: Overhead lamps and bright windows can still be in view after you dim a screen. A wearable filter gives you another way to manage that light.

A little science: The filter changes light at eye level. Light entering around the frame and the room’s light sources are separate factors.

02

FL-41 has a purpose worth understanding

The key point: This rose-toned tint has been studied for light sensitivity, including migraine-related discomfort.

Why it matters: You can choose a lens category that relates to the problem you are researching.

A little science: FL-41 changes the mix and amount of transmitted light. Exact filtering depends on the lens and tint depth.

Small studies offer encouraging findings

The key point: The rose-tint group in an early childhood migraine study had fewer headaches over four months.

Why it matters: The research gives a useful reason to consider tinted lenses as one part of managing light sensitivity.

A little science: There were 20 children across two tint groups. This is a finding about those research lenses and participants, rather than a Seren result or an adult forecast.

Your light filter can come with you

The key point: Seren is a pair you can keep near your desk or take to another room.

Why it matters: You may not control a shared space’s lighting, but you can choose the lens you look through.

A little science: A lens filters the light passing through it while it is worn. It works at the eye rather than by changing a device setting.

Seren keeps the next step simple

The key point: One adult unisex pair, an FL-41 tint and a black geometric frame.

Why it matters: See the frame from several angles, choose your pair and add it to your basket.

A little science: The visible tint also changes colour appearance. Select eyewear that suits your eyes and the task you plan to use it for.
