Comparing Spectacles and Contact Lenses for Light Sensitivity
This study is comparing how well different types of eyewear help with photophobia (light sensitivity), a common issue for people with migraine headaches. Researchers are looking at FL-41 tinted eyeglasses, Biomedics55 Premier contact lenses, and Altius Grey-Green Tinted Contacts. The goal is to see if reducing blue light can lessen the overwhelming signals that cause migraine symptoms. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older and have previously bought FL-41 tinted spectacles from the Dean McGee Eye Institute, or if you are referred from clinics in the Oklahoma City area. The study aims to enroll 200 people. The main way they'll measure success is by comparing your light sensitivity at the start, after wearing Biomedics 22 Premier contacts for 10 days, and after wearing Altius colored contacts for 10 days. The current status of the study is unclear.
