Certain light wavelengths (480-520nm) that are found in sunlight, fluorescent lights, LED screens, and digital devices can trigger migraines and intensify light sensitivity.
Rose-tinted FL-41 lenses are able to filter out these bothersome wavelengths of painful light, providing comfort and pain relief. They reduce the impact of certain colors and enhance contrast and sharpness.
Backed by research, FL-41 lenses help migraine sufferers by reducing attack frequency and intensity, while alleviating symptoms of eye strain and light sensitivity.

Relief Stories
“Reduced my migraines”
I'm obsessed with my prescription migraine glasses! Wearing them has really reduced my migraines and I love the soothing cotton-candy sunset view.
Sophia
“A game-changer for chronic migraines”
My new FL-41 lenses are an amazing addition to my ‘migraine care kit’, giving me the relief and protection I need from breakthrough triggers. No more losing entire days to debilitating headaches!
Savannah
“They’re my saving grace!”
On Day 1 of my photo shoot, I arrived on set with a lingering migraine. Migraine sufferers understand the struggle and the fog it leaves behind. But wearing the rose-tinted FL-41 lenses not only softened the sunlight, but also eased the pounding behind my eyes. And the best part? They look gorgeous! Now, when a migraine strikes, I reach for my meds with one hand and my Zennis with the other. They’re my saving grace!

Migraine Lenses FAQ
Get answers and find your relief.
How do FL-41 migraine lenses work?
Zenni’s FL-41 migraine lenses are unique lenses that target the 480-520nm wavelengths. This specific range of light includes those wavelengths that are most bothersome to our eyes and neurological system. By blocking these painful wavelengths of light, Zenni's FL-41 migraine lenses may help reduce the symptoms you are experiencing including photophobia, eyestrain, and migraine headache. In addition, Zenni's FL-41 migraine lenses may improve contrast and sharpness. By reducing glare from digital screens and fluorescent lights, migraine sufferers may experience eye relief and an improvement of symptoms.
What type of conditions are FL-41 migraine lenses used for?
Zenni's FL-41 migraine lenses may improve the symptoms of our customers who are experiencing light sensitivity due to migraines, blepharospasm and eye strain. In addition, FL-41 lenses may help symptoms related to post-concussion syndrome and traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
How often should I wear FL-41 migraine lenses?
We recommend wearing these lenses whenever you are exposed to bothersome light sources from overhead fluorescent bulbs, LEDs, digital devices, and sunlight.
How long does it take for FL-41 migraine lenses to work?
Zenni’s FL-41 migraine lenses may provide immediate relief to painful light sensitivity. As you continue to wear these lenses, your symptoms may decrease over time.
How are FL-41 migraine lenses different from just pink tinted lenses?
Zenni’s FL-41 migraine lenses are filters produced with a special dye that blocks out most of the 480-520nm short wavelengths responsible for painful light. Regular pink or red tinted lenses, such as Zenni’s fashion tints are produced with a standard color pink dye.
When should I use a 25%, 50% or 80% migraine lens tint?
The 25% lens tint is designed for indoor use or for individuals who experience mild light sensitivity and/or migraines. They are designed to be worn near fluorescent lights, LEDS, and when looking at digital devices. The 50% lens tint is designed for indoor and outdoor use or for individuals who experience moderate light sensitivity and/or migraines. The 80% lens tint is designed for outdoor use in bright sunlight or for individuals who experience heavy light sensitivity and/or migraines. The 80% lens tint blocks out more of the painful 480-520nm light compared to the 25% and 50% tints.
Can FL-41 migraine lenses be used for driving?
We do not recommend FL-41 migraine lenses for driving.
Do FL-41 migraine lenses protect against UV and blue light?
All of Zenni’s FL-41 migraine lenses come with 100% UVA/UVB coating. While Zenni’s FL-41 migraine lenses target the 480-520nm range that cause symptoms, they do filter out some of the wavelengths of blue light between 390nm and 450nm.
Will FL-41 migraine lenses impact the colors I see?
You will still be able to differentiate colors while wearing Zenni’s FL-41 migraine lenses. However, if you have an occupation or hobby that requires precise color perception (ex: graphic designer, photographer), you will notice a change in color perception that may interfere with your work.
Can I wear FL-41 migraine lenses over contact lenses?
Yes! You are able to order non-Rx FL-41 migraine lenses and wear over your contact lenses.
