Your patients with frequent headaches and migraines may need more than just a prescription. 👁️
Did you know there are actually more people experiencing frequent headaches than people with dry eyes? Yet this is still one of the most underserved conversations in optical stores today.

The good news? You already have the tools to start it.
At McCray we carry FL-41, light blue and Avulux clip-ons, three different solutions that give you and your patients the flexibility to find what works best for their specific needs. Whether they are dealing with light sensitivity, frequent headaches or clinically diagnosed migraines, there is an option for every situation.

This is your opportunity to start a conversation that most opticians are not having and become the go-to store for patients who have been struggling without answers.

Avulux vs FL-41 — What’s the difference and which one is right for your patients? 🔍

Both lenses help manage light sensitivity and migraine, but they work very differently, and knowing the distinction can make a real difference for the people walking into your store.

FL-41 has been around for decades. There are plenty of patient testimonials reporting noticeable relief, and that long track record speaks for itself.

Avulux is the newer standard. It is the only migraine lens clinically proven through an independent, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, the highest level of scientific testing. It precisely filters up to 97% of harmful blue, amber, and red light while preserving soothing green light, delivering 2x better light quality than conventional light management lenses.

In this video, Albert walks you through both options honestly because, depending on your patient’s needs, either one could be the right fit.

As Canada’s official Avulux clip-on distributor, McCray Eyewear Division carries the full collection: Standard (everyday indoor), Adapt (photochromic, office to outdoors), and Atlas (polarized, outdoor use). All three clip-on to any frame your patients already wear, no new frames required.

Ever wondered if your patient's prescription changes underwater? 🤓

It is a common question and one that is often misunderstood. Albert breaks down the science behind it and the answer might surprise you!

With our spherical pre-molded RX Swimming Goggles, the front surface is flat which means the refractive index of water has zero effect on the prescription. Things may appear slightly magnified but the prescription power itself stays accurate. 👌

A great piece of optical knowledge to share with your team and your patients!

One of the most rewarding parts of attending the Inside Optics Tradeshow on April 19, organized by the Opticians Association, was seeing hands on learning in action.

In this clip, one of the opticians demonstrates the process of preparing a frame for a nose pad installation, a small but essential technique that requires precision, control, and attention to detail.

What stood out most was the focus on technique and real world application, the kind of practical knowledge that supports everyday work in the optical field.

Moments like these highlight the importance of continuous learning and skill development within the optical community. 🤝

What a day at the Inside Optics Tradeshow! 🤩
On April 19, we had the pleasure of connecting with the optical community at Manor in Vaughan, organized by the Opticians Association.

From our RX Swimming Goggles and Sport Goggles to our clip-on solutions including Avulux Atlas, Avulux Standard, custom tints and gradient blush options, there was something for every optical store in the room.

Albert and the team led hands-on demonstrations, giving attendees the chance to experience our solutions firsthand and ask all the right questions.

A big thank you to the Ontario Opticians Association for such a well organized event and to everyone who stopped by our booth. It was a pleasure connecting with each and every one of you. We look forward to seeing you at the next one! 👋
