Vista Mesh lenses ease patient’s migraines

A Welsh optometrist has been praised by a patient for ‘turning her life around’ after a specialised lens dispense.

Sarah Ashwell had been struggling with headaches and migraines due to spending many hours at a computer screen for her office job in Caerphilly. She had an eye examination with Elliot Bateman of Bateman Opticians in Blackwood, who prescribed Vista Mesh lenses as her vision had not changed. Within two weeks, Ashwell’s migraines and other symptoms had dramatically improved and the lenses had reduced the amount of glare when she watched television.

Bateman said: ‘The beauty of Vista Mesh glasses is that they don’t look any different to any other glasses, but the very fine mesh within the lens has a tremendous ability to ease visual stress for many people. Many people are finding they are beneficial not just for migraine and headaches, but also for glare at night when driving.’
