Premier Eyecare Associates to Carry Avulux Anti-Migraine Lens Technology

Jun 12, 2023

Brookfield, Missouri -

June 12, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - Brookfield, MO — Premier Eyecare Associates has announced that they now offer Avulux glasses lenses, a next-generation lens technology engineered to prevent and soothe migraines. Using precision filters, these lenses block certain light spectrums that are proven to trigger migraines, while allowing other spectrums that can relieve migraine symptoms to pass through. Premier Eyecare Associates is proud to announce their addition of Avulux lenses and are happy to help patients improve their quality of life with such a simple solution.

“Avulux lenses are revolutionary,” said Dr. Kevin Harris, an optometrist at the practice. “A lot of patients might not expect that their migraines are caused by light sensitivity, and that there’s a simple way to fix them. Avulux lenses fit into almost any new frame, and they can even work with patients’ prescriptions, making them incredibly useful to a wider range of patients. Migraines are an awful thing to experience, and I can’t wait to help our patients find relief.”

Clinical studies have shown that red, amber, and blue light all cause the production of melanopsin, a photopigment. Increased production of this photopigment is associated with light sensitivity, which is the cause for 60% of migraines. Avulux’s precision filters block up to 97% of red, blue, and amber light from reaching the eye and have been shown to greatly reduce the occurrence of migraines when regularly worn. Avulux also allows over 70% of green light to pass through, which creates a soothing effect, something shown consistently throughout research on light sensitivity. By helping ease discomfort when a migraine begins and preventing symptoms through consistent wear, Avulux lenses take a two-pronged approach to help patients find relief from their migraines.

“As a practice, we always look to offer innovative and advanced technology that you just can’t get anywhere else,” said Dr. Duane Thompson, an optometrist at three Premier Eyecare Associates locations. “Caring is one of our core values, and that extends to helping patients even in ways that may not directly impact how well they can see. I love that Avulux can bring greater lifestyle flexibility to our patients. Light sensitivity causes about 60% of total migraines, so it’s really important to have a way to deal with them that doesn’t solely rely on medication. Bringing on effective solutions that connect the eyes to the rest of the body is incredibly important, and I think Avulux lenses show how lifechanging it can be to examine the eye and brain connection.”

“The technology is really quite elegant,” added Dr. Thompson. “Before Avulux, most light spectrum-blocking filters were grey. Avulux’s filters are far more precise, which allows for much more effective results. In terms of conveniently preventing migraines, they really hit the mark, and I know our patients will appreciate the technology for how seamless it is when it comes to preventing migraines.”

Premier Eyecare Associates is open and taking appointments for new and current patients at all their locations six days a week.

Eala faces tough opening test in WTA Ningbo Open return

Eala faces tough opening test in WTA Ningbo Open return

MANILA, Philippines — Filipina netter Alex Eala faces a tough challenge upon her return to action at the Ningbo Open, which kicks off at the Ningbo Yinzhou Tennis Center. Based on the official draw released by tournament organizers, Eala will first face France's Diane Parry in the opening round of the WTA 500 event. The match between Eala and Parry is scheduled for 12 noon on Monday. This is their first-ever meeting on the WTA Tour. Also looming in Eala's draw are potential matchups against world No. 13 Diana Shnaider of Russia in the second round, world No. 11 Iva Jovic of the United States in the quarterfinals, and defending champion and world No. 1 Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan in the semifinals. Eala is aiming to bounce back at the Ningbo Open following a string of early exits across three consecutive tournaments. Her rough stretch began at the Singapore Open, where she was shown an early exit after falling to Russia's Tatiana Prozorova (6-4, 5-7, 3-6) in the opening round. This was followed by another setback against China's Wang Xiyu in the semifinals of the 2026 Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan, with a score of 6-4, 3-6, 3-6. Eala's frustration deepened when she suffered another early elimination at the Wuhan Open in China, absorbing a 6-4, 3-6, 3-6 defeat against China's Han Shi in the first round. All three players who defeated Eala hold lower WTA rankings. Moreover, a recurring pattern marked the Filipina netter's losses, where she would win the first set only to fall short in the final two frames. To ensure she is in top shape before stepping onto the court, Eala immediately went straight to intensive training upon arriving in Ningbo. TMT

Haaland brace extends Man City's winning start in Premier League

Haaland brace extends Man City's winning start in Premier League

MANCHESTER, United Kingdom — Erling Haaland struck twice as Manchester City defiantly extended their blistering start to the Premier League season with a 3-2 win against Ipswich on Saturday. Phil Foden put City ahead in the first half at the Etihad Stadium before Daizen Maeda grabbed a shock equaliser for Ipswich. Haaland netted before the interval and struck again after the break to take his tally for the season to 12. Zian Flemming's penalty came too late to stop City making it seven successive league victories. It was City's second win since the club were found guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League financial regulations last month. City, who are appealing against the decision, sit six points clear of champions Arsenal at the top of the table. The Gunners can close the gap if they win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday. City boss Enzo Maresca is the first manager to win his first seven games in charge in the Premier League. The Etihad stands were awash with inflatable bananas throughout as City's supporters continued to show their backing for the Abu Dhabi-owned club during their ongoing crisis. The blow-up fruit, a throwback to their supporters' craze from the late 1980s, has come to symbolise their defiance in the face of a potential massive points deduction or even expulsion from the Premier League if the appeal fails. City showed their spirit remains intact on the pitch as well and Foden gave the hosts the lead on 19 minutes. Jeremy Doku cut inside the from the left and pulled back for Foden who, in his first appearance since his red card at Old Trafford last month, turned home from eight yards. City's lead lasted just two minutes as Abdoul Ouattara released Maeda with a well-weighted ball down the right. The pass arced around the backtracking Marc Guehi and Maeda outpaced and the outmuscled the England centre-back to seize possession and sit Gianluigi Donnarumma down with a composed finish. But City regained their lead on 34 minutes when Mateo Kovacic reached the byline and pulled back for Haaland to power a header through Christian Walton's grasp. Nico O'Reilly went close after the restart with a header from a corner but Haaland made no mistake to grab his second on 69 minutes. Iliman Ndiaye created the opportunity with a strong run from deep before playing in the striker with a defence-splitting pass. Ouattara could not keep his footing as Haaland skipped past him and coolly beat Walton. Haaland thought he had claimed a hat-trick when he volleyed home after Ndiaye hit the bar, but his strike was disallowed by VAR for offside against Enzo Fernandez. VAR intervened again moments later, changing the mood of the game when Guehi was ruled to have fouled Abdul Fatawu in the area. Flemming dispatched the penalty but City held firm to show they won't be fazed on the pitch by the club's off-field woes.

Williams lifts Valkyries past Dream in WNBA Finals opener

Williams lifts Valkyries past Dream in WNBA Finals opener

SAN FRANCISCO, United States — Gabby Williams scored a game-high 26 points, including four key free throws in the final 1:18 as the Golden State Valkyries held off the Atlanta Dream 68-64 in game one of the WNBA Finals on Saturday. Williams, runner-up to Atlanta's Angel Reese in Defensive Player of the Year voting, has emerged as an offensive force for the Valkyries in the playoffs. She carried the scoring load on a tough shooting night for the hosts -- who didn't have another player score in double figures. She took some time to warm up, going scoreless in the first quarter as the Valkyries got off to a tentative start in front of a raucous crowd at Chase Center arena. "Once we all started having fun and the excitement got out, we started to kind of find our way," Williams, who erupted for 16 points in the second quarter, said in an on-court interview. "There was a lid on that basket tonight, but that's why we rely on our defense," she said. Golden State trailed by one with 1:18 remaining when Williams seized the rebound off a miss by Atlanta's Allisha Gray and was fouled by Reese. Williams made both free-throws to put the Valkyries up 65-64 and added another pair of free throws to seal the win with 4.1 seconds left. Gray, the Dream's leading scorer, returned after missing two games with a hand injury and scored 19 points. But she was scoreless in the fourth quarter, when Atlanta made just two of their 19 attempts from the floor. Reese added 14 points and 12 rebounds, and Rhyne Howard scored 12 for Atlanta. The Valkyries will host game two of the best-of-seven series on Monday. Both teams are chasing a first WNBA title. The Dream have come up empty in three prior trips to the Finals, most recently in 2013. The Valkyries, who last year became the first WNBA expansion franchise to reach the playoffs in their inaugural season, are now contending for the title in their second.
