FL-41 vs Blue Light Glasses: Which Is Better for Migraines?

If you suffer from migraines triggered by light sensitivity, you’ve likely heard of blue light glasses. But have you heard about FL-41 glasses? While both offer relief, understanding their differences is key to choosing the best option for your migraine management.

In this blog, we break down FL-41 lenses vs. blue light blocking glasses, compare their effectiveness, and reveal why Sleepaxa FL-41 migraine glasses might be your best solution.


What Are Blue Light Glasses?

Blue light glasses are designed to filter or block high-energy visible (HEV) blue light emitted from digital screens (phones, tablets, computers) and artificial lighting. Prolonged exposure to blue light can cause:

  • Digital eye strain

  • Sleep disruption

  • Mild headaches in some people

However, blue light is only a small part of the light spectrum that can trigger migraines. That’s where FL-41 lenses stand out.


What Are FL-41 Glasses?

FL-41 is a special rose-tinted lens filter, originally developed in the 1980s for people with light sensitivity. Unlike standard blue light glasses, FL-41 lenses block a broader spectrum, including:

  • Blue-green wavelengths (480–520 nm)

  • Fluorescent and flickering light sensitivity

  • Specific triggers for photophobia and visual aura

They are clinically proven to reduce light-triggered migraines, especially in patients with chronic migraine, vestibular migraine, and photophobia.


Scientific Comparison: FL-41 vs Blue Light Glasses

Feature FL-41 Glasses Blue Light Glasses
Spectrum Blocked Blue to Green (480–520 nm) Mostly Blue (400–470 nm)
Clinical Research Support Yes (for migraines & photophobia) Limited (mostly for eye strain)
Effectiveness for Migraines High Low to Moderate
Tint Color Rose or Amber Clear or Yellow
Suitable for Light Sensitivity Yes Partially
Use Case Migraines, Photophobia, Concussion Screen Time, Sleep Disruption

Why FL-41 Glasses Are More Effective for Migraine Relief

Unlike blue light glasses, FL-41 lenses are backed by peer-reviewed clinical research. Studies published by the University of Utah and University of Birmingham found that FL-41 significantly reduces migraine frequency and light-triggered attacks.

Fun fact: According to a study in Cephalalgia, patients wearing FL-41 lenses reported 74% fewer migraine attacks triggered by light.
