Is NSR-M right for you?
NSR-M lenses are custom formulated spectral filters designed specifically for individuals suffering from light sensitivity and light-triggered headaches and migraines. NSR-M works best to prevent headaches and migraines in individuals whose brains are hyper-reactive to light and visual stimuli. Take our pre-assessment test below to determine whether NSR-M is the right solution for you.
NSR FAQs
Unlike FL-41 lenses and other migraine glasses, which offer a single lens color in a one-size-fits-all approach, NSR-M lenses are custom-designed to match your brain’s specific sensitivity to light. Every brain is unique, with no two processing light in exactly the same way. For an effective solution to the light sensitivity causing your migraines, a personalized approach is essential.
Each brain is unique, with no two processing light in the exact same way. NSR-M lenses are designed to customize light waves to meet your brain's specific needs. By tailoring the color to your precise requirements, these lenses help normalize brain activity, ensuring light signals are interpreted as they should be. This means colors appear natural, without the darkening effect often caused by sunglasses.
People with light-triggered migraines experience optimal relief when they wear their NSR-M lenses consistently. Whenever your eyes are open, your brain is processing light and visual signals; without your NSR-M lenses to properly adjust these signals, there’s an ongoing risk of triggering a migraine.
Your optimal color can change over time for a variety of reason. Brain systems are dynamic and reactive systems that are impacted by things like hormones, prescription medications, and, in the case of brain injury, even rehabilitation. When your brain or body chemistry changes significantly, there is a chance that your optimal color will also change. To make sure you always have the optimal color, we recommend annual visits with your NSR-M provider.
NSR-M lenses are available in both prescription and non-prescription formats. We can apply your custom tint to any existing optical prescription and offer options such as single vision, progressive, bifocal, and even high-index lenses.
No, Colors will appear natural when viewed through NSR-M lenses. These lenses are designed to adjust light waves according to your brain's unique needs, helping to normalize your brain's response to light and visual input. As a result, your surroundings won’t seem artificially tinted through NSR-M lenses.
Your certified assessor may be able to bill insurance for the office assessment depending on their specific licensing status and credentials. NSR-M lenses are not currently covered by medical insurance, but are HSA/FSA eligible.
Many of our providers offer a wide selection of custom frames, but we want you to have NSR-M lenses in a frame you truly love. That's why we also offer the option to use your own frame.
Yes. It doesn’t matter if you’ve suffered from migraines your entire life, or if they are a result of a brain injury or concussion, NSR-M lenses address the root cause of light-triggered migraines and are highly effective for light sensitivity, headaches and migraines resulting from head injury or post-concussive syndrome.
NSR-M lenses begin to work immediately to normalize your brain’s response to light and visual stimuli. Many NSR-M lens wearers report not having any more light-triggered migraines as soon as they start wearing their lenses. NSR-M lenses are preventative and are not intended to treat the symptoms of an acute migraine attack.
Some people’s brains work too hard to interpret visual information (including light). For these people, light can cause dysregulated brain activity. Spectral filters adjust the timing of the visual signals sent to your brain so that your brain is able to interpret the signals correctly without extra stress or strain and normalize the brain’s response to light.
