Researcher Jie Huang, PhD, Associate Professor of radiology at Michigan State University approves the notion that tinted glasses do relief people suffering from migraine, it helps relaxing the functioning in the brain. People with migraine, are easily adaptable to stressful visual stimuli.

The reason of this adaptability is over functioning of the visual cortex in brain. Speedy functioning of brain may cause migraine among people. A study was conducted on 11 people with and without migraine; in the research, they had to view various striped patterned forms wearing two types of lenses, one being precision ophthalmic tints (POT) and the other were discolored and colored lenses. The precision ophthalmic tints, proved better than the other lenses.

Controlled lenses reduced their visual pains up to 40%, but precision ophthalmic tints reduced it to 70% as per Huang’s reading. Therefore Jie Huang suggests, all the migraine sufferers should wear sunglasses to control their visual pains, using POTs may deliver better results. The POT lenses can be adjusted into wearing glasses; these lenses were available at Cerium Visual Technologies, Ltd, in the U. K.

Kathleen Digre, MD, Professor of neurology and ophthalmology at Moran Eye Center at the University, made a similar kind of discovery called FL-41, these lenses also claim to reduce migraine headaches among people.
