What is Avulux?
Avulux lenses are not just any lens—they’re scientifically backed and meticulously designed to help manage light sensitivity and reduce migraine symptoms.
Avulux lenses are available in both prescription and non-prescription options, and they can be a revolutionary option for addressing light sensitivity and migraines in your life.
Migraines & Light Sensitivity
Migraines are not just headaches—they’re a neurological condition often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.
Light sensitivity, or photophobia, can exacerbate these symptoms, making daily tasks challenging. Up to 60% of migraine attacks are triggered by light, and between 80% and 90% of people who live with regular migraines can experience photophobia as a symptom of their migraine.
How Does Avulux Work?
Through patented light-filtering technology, Avulux lenses can filter out up to 97% of blue, amber and red light—light that is known to trigger migraines and increase light sensitivity.
At the same time, Avulux lenses can allow over 70% of green light to reach your eyes, which can help prevent migraine attacks while you enjoy your day to the fullest, no matter what light you’re in.
Benefits of Avulux Lenses
Choosing Avulux lenses means opting for a life where light sensitivity doesn’t dictate your schedule. The potential benefits include:
- No Side Effects: Unlike medication, Avulux lenses have no side effects, making them a safe choice for managing light sensitivity.
- Medication-Free Support: These lenses are a non-pharmaceutical approach to managing migraines and light sensitivity.
- Color Accuracy: Enjoy the true colors of your world without the usual dark or yellow tints found in other migraine glasses.
- Ease of Use: Wear them like any regular pair of glasses—no need for special adjustments or preparations.

Our Testimonials
Dr. Rich is extremely helpful and thoughtful. He cleared up my eye issues within one appointment and even allowed for texts to assess after the appointment. I had been going to a specialist in Columbia for a year and they didn’t even compare to how great Family Focus Eyecare was!
Erin Scrivner
Dr. Barrett is knowledgeable, friendly and practical, I have gone to her for years and trust her. The office staff is great, they are willing to help and make appointments when you need care quickly.
Pamela Didur
The Family Focus Eyecare team is amazing! They really make you feel like home the second you walk through the door. My husband and I both have been very pleased and highly recommend them to anyone in the Columbia area!
Katie Beasley
Twice now, the staff at FFEC have gone above and beyond to help me see clearly. One time I had a contact lens come out while I was driving. It gave me a migrane, and I drove around in desperation trying to find an eye exam since my prescription was expired…. After being turned away in an EMPTY waiting room at the WalMart vision center, and not even being offered a sample pair till an an appointment could be set… I called FFEC and they not only had me come right over, they squeezed me in between two clients, gave me replacement contacts, and informed me my insurance would cover everything because they looked up my plan details for me!! (I didnt even know I had vision coverage). What an exceptional team and business!!!! I was so thankful. This might be the first review I have ever taken the time to write.
Dorian Brownlee
I had a great experience!! Very knowledgeable staff and excited about the new contact lens options! Highly recommend!
Rhonda Bledsoe
Dr. Rich was so great with our 3 year old son! He was patient and sweet. This was during COVID and they were very careful with masks and cleaning. I plan to go back myself and so does my husband.
Amanda Fisher
I had an acute eye problem and FFE was able to get me in within a few days where other places were months out. They diagnosed the problem quickly and I was on my way feeling relieved that I would soon be headache free.
Kasie Sly
The entire team was friendly, efficient and helpful throughout my entire experience. Best customer service experience I’ve had with an eye doctor in Columbia. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Sarah Carnes
Best of the best! Very quick and courteous. No wasted time and the prices seem very fair for the services rendered. One of my biggest concerns was picking frames and they made it painless. Very pleased, I recommend them without hesitation!
Steve Baumann
Dr. Rich is by far the best eye doctor I have ever met! They went above and beyond to help me find the right pair of frames for me. I get compliments every time I wear them. No matter where I live I will always see Dr Rich for my eye care. I moved to STL and I still make the 2 hour drive to meet with him – totally worth it.
Walter Juarez
Dr. Rich is fantastic! My last eye exam has been years ago and this is my first visit at Family Focus Eyecare. I was immediately impressed with the attentive staff as you walk in, not only were the friendly but also extremely efficient getting me started and keeping me on time. The lobby area is pleasant and has a nice new feel to it. Because this was my first visit I had to go through the typical tests for them to examine my eyes and their technology & equipment are top-notch, it was so easy. Once I met with Dr. Rich he explained everything clearly and especially took the time to ask me many questions about my eyes, habits, difficulties and things I felt needed his attention. After consulting with him thoroughly and running numerous tests I was given a LOWER prescription! He was able to determine my contacts were too strong and what was causing my vision to not be perfect. Everything about my experience was perfect and I highly recommend Dr. Rich and Family Focus Eyecare!
John Sorensen
The staff is so friendly, helpful and very accommodating for kids. My girls are sad that they only get to go once a year.
