Rose-tinted glasses for migraine:
This innovative method to help reduce the effects of migraines is a revolutionary avenue for those who suffer from ophthalmic migraines and photophobia. For those feeling the debilitating effects of migraines and vision problems, the promise of light-pink tinted glasses that help neutralize bright lights that can trigger migraine episodes can provide much-needed relief.
Obtaining these special glasses is also made easier: just ask your optician for them. Pre-assembled mounts are available, or you can use clips to adapt them to your existing mounts. No prescription is needed! Nevertheless, it is recommended to speak with an ophthalmologist before wearing them to ensure that they are suitable for you.

Blue light blocking lenses:
These lenses help protect your eyes from harmful blue light emitted by digital screens, such as phones and computers. This type of artificial light has been linked to poor sleep quality, headaches and general fatigue due to its ability to suppress melatonin secretion in the body. A hormone responsible for regulating our sleep-wake cycles.
Blue light blocking lenses block some of this high energy visible light before it reaches your eyes, providing relief to those who suffer from symptoms caused by overexposure to artificial blue light.

Therapeutic video games:
Games designed specifically to improve vision are increasingly popular among people of all ages, including children whose vision may deteriorate due to myopia or other conditions. These games take the form of visual tests that test players’ acuity by asking them to identify different shapes and colors on the screen at different levels of difficulty. This type of game has been proven to help strengthen visual processing skills while providing entertainment!

Stellest glasses:
Essilor® Stellest™ lenses are the latest achievement in innovative eyewear technology. These lenses have been designed to slow the progression of myopia in children when worn consistently for 12 hours a day. What’s even more remarkable is that compared to standard lenses available on the market today, Stellest lenses have been proven to reduce the progression of myopia at an average rate of 67%. Making it a practical choice for parents looking to invest in their child’s eye health and longevity. Especially children aged 8 to 12 (the age at which the progression of myopia is greatest).

20-20-20 method:
This technique involves taking frequent breaks from any activity involving near vision (such as reading or using a computer). Rest for 20 seconds and focus your eyes on an object 20 feet away every 20 minutes throughout the day (eg, looking out the window). By giving your eyes regular breaks like this, you give them time to relax and refocus, reducing the strain caused by prolonged close-work activities that can affect short-term concentration as well as long-term vision health.

Eye yoga:
Eye yoga is an increasingly popular way to improve eyesight without resorting to corrective lenses. By strengthening eye muscles, increasing blood flow, and improving coordination and concentration, these exercises can make a difference in the long run. Even if you don’t think you need glasses or contacts, practicing these simple exercises can help you keep your vision clear and sharp.
Depending on the goals and needs of each, you can practice them once a day or several times a week. But no matter how often you practice them, taking the time to do eye yoga can help you preserve your natural ability to see clearly.
