Avulux Brand Guidelines · 2026

Always Avulux.
Wherever the day takes you.

Every Avulux lens sets a new standard for migraine and light sensitivity lenses, combining rigorous clinical validation with real-world results that change lives. This site is a resource for understanding the Avulux brand and how the organization shows up across multi-channel campaigns, internal communications, and clinical materials.

The Guide

A working reference for everyone shaping how Avulux shows up in the world.

Avulux helps people living with migraine feel seen and gives eye care professionals a clinically proven lens they can recommend and prescribe with confidence. We speak to many audiences across consumer and B2B channels, but our promise is constant: to deliver the Avulux standard to every wearer.

Our brand and brand guidelines help us achieve two goals:

  • Ensure everyone inside and outside the organization can consistently share and leverage the Avulux story, brand, and truths across channels and audiences.
  • Provide clarity around messaging, claims, and imagery for each channel.

The Avulux Promise
To improve the quality of life for people living with migraine and light sensitivity, through precision-engineered lenses that help people show up in daily life.

Brand Story

Where Avulux comes from, what we value, and the messages we lead with everywhere we show up.

Avulux began with a simple, urgent question: what if light could be filtered with enough precision to reduce one of migraine’s most common triggers, without asking people to dim their lives?

For millions living with migraine and light sensitivity, ordinary light becomes an extraordinary burden.

Mission
To improve the quality of life for people living with migraine and light sensitivity, through precision-engineered lenses that effectively manage light exposure.
Vision
To be the trusted standard in therapeutic lenses, empowering people with migraine worldwide to live fuller, more comfortable lives.

Core Values

  • Responsible Claims & TrustWe say only what the evidence supports. Trust is the foundation of every Avulux relationship.
  • Clinical, Evidence-Based CommunicationsWe ground our messaging in independent, peer-reviewed science.
  • Human-First EmpathyWe lead with the person living with migraine, not the technology.
  • Clear, Consistent EducationWe translate complex science into clear, accessible language for every audience.

Crafted Messages

Avulux speaks to many audiences across platforms. Our core messaging is designed for people living with migraine and light sensitivity, as well as the eye care professionals who can introduce Avulux to their community. No matter the audience, our messaging is built on the same foundation: science, mission, and values.

Avulux Organization-Wide Key Messages

  1. No one should have to dim their life because of light. Avulux exists to help people living with migraine and light sensitivity show up fully: at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
  2. Avulux is the only clinically proven lens for migraine and light sensitivity. Validated through independent, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials, the highest scientific standard, Avulux sets the bar for precision light filtering.
  3. Avulux is much more than your standard tint, in fact, it’s not a tint at all. Avulux lenses precisely filter harmful blue, amber, and red light while allowing soothing green light through. All while delivering 2X better light quality than conventional tint options.
  4. Grounded in real results that change lives. Wearers consistently report meaningful improvements in light sensitivity, comfort, and time spent doing what they love. Behind every data point is a person who showed up for a moment that mattered.
  5. Avulux addresses one of its most common triggers without adding another medication to the mix. Not everyone wants another prescription. Avulux offers a drug-free, clinically proven approach to light management, a complement to any migraine toolkit that helps people better manage light.

Precision Lens Technology

  1. Avulux sets a new standard for light-filtering lenses. Our lenses are validated through independent, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials, because our community deserves that level of proof.
  2. Built on research identifying the specific wavelengths that intensify migraine pain, Avulux targets the problem at its source, delivering 2x better light quality than conventional options.
  3. From indoor screen time to bright outdoor light, Avulux, Adapt, and Atlas each address different environments. There’s a precision-filtering solution wherever the day takes you.
  4. Each Avulux lens is engineered to filter the specific wavelengths of light, harmful blue, amber, and red, that are most likely to trigger discomfort, while letting soothing green light through. The result is a measurable, science-backed way to manage the impact of light. Not a simple tint.
  5. Our patented technology is built into the lens matrix, not sprayed, coated, or approximated. Ensuring that every wearer is given a consistent experience and in turn, can rely on Avulux.

Education & Awareness

  1. Migraine is not “just a headache,” it’s a neurological condition affecting over 1 billion people. We’re committed to changing that conversation one provider and one wearer at a time.
  2. Up to 60% of migraine attacks involve light as a trigger, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood. We make it our job to educate on how specific wavelengths affect migraine — and how precision filtering can help.
  3. No jargon or sensationalization. We translate clinical science into clear, accessible information so that everyone in the Avulux community, from first-time wearers to seasoned ECPs, can speak about light management and Avulux with confidence.
  4. We hold ourselves to responsible claims because trust isn’t optional. That discipline protects our community, strengthens provider relationships, and sets the standard for how migraine solutions should be communicated across every channel we touch.

Wearer Empowerment & Community

  1. Wearers tell us Avulux helps them say yes again, to the screen-filled workday, the bright grocery aisle, the sunny afternoon outside, instead of planning life around light.
  2. Behind every Avulux wearer is someone who got a moment back: reading a bedtime story, finishing a shift, driving at dusk. We let wearers share the impact in their own words.
  3. Living with migraine and light sensitivity can feel isolating. Avulux connects wearers, eye care professionals, and advocates who understand, so no one has to navigate light alone.
  4. Wearers trust Avulux because the science holds up and the experience delivers. That trust spreads naturally; friend to friend, patient to provider, wearer to wearer.
  5. Wearer feedback shapes how we improve, educate, and support. The relationship doesn’t end at checkout; it’s the start of an ongoing partnership in managing the impact of light.

Four Principles

  1. 01
    Lead with the person.

    Whether the audience is a patient or a provider, the brand is about restoring participation in daily life. Show the human benefit before the technical detail.

  2. 02
    Support claims with proof.

    Use precise language: "clinically proven," "independent studies," "light filtering." Avoid broad cure language or unsupported symptom guarantees.

  3. 03
    Make the lens story clear.

    Explain blue, amber, and red filtering in plain language, then connect it to the portfolio: Avulux, Avulux Adapt, and Avulux Atlas.

  4. 04
    Keep CTAs audience-specific.

    DTC asks people to shop, try, compare, or find a provider. ECP asks professionals to become providers, learn the science, or partner with Avulux.

Messaging Matrix

These are the key messages each side leads with — the actual language, proof, and posture. DTC speaks to the person who wants their day back. ECP speaks to the professional who fits the lens. Treat the phrasing in quotes as working copy, not just direction.

  DTCConsumer ECPProfessional
Who we’re talking to Adults living with migraine or light sensitivity who want more comfortable days — at work, on screens, under fluorescents, outside. People who’ve tried dark rooms and avoidance, and want to stay in the light instead of hiding from it. Optometrists and ophthalmologists looking to offer patients with photophobia and migraine-related light sensitivity an evidence-based option, and to build a differentiated specialty within their practice.
What we promise Manage the impact of light on your life.
“Avulux lenses are designed to help you take back control of your day, so you can stay present for the moments that matter.”
An evidence-based lens, and a specialty for your practice.
“Offer patients living with migraine and light sensitivity a clinically grounded lens, backed by independent research and trusted by leading eye care professionals.”
How we frame the problem “For people living with migraine, ordinary light — screens, fluorescents, sunlight, headlights — can trigger discomfort and pull you out of daily life. You shouldn’t have to dim your life because of light.” “Photophobia affects the majority of people living with migraine. Conventional tinted lenses filter broadly, rather than targeting the specific wavelengths most associated with migraine discomfort.”
How we describe the lens “Avulux filters the harmful blue, amber, and red light most likely to trigger discomfort, while allowing soothing green light through — so colors still look natural and the world still feels like the world.” “A multi-band notch filter that selectively filters blue, amber, and red wavelengths associated with migraine, while preserving green light transmission for its soothing properties and natural color perception.”
How we prove it “The only lenses clinically proven to help people living with migraine.” “Validated in an independent, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, and recommended by leading optometrists and migraine specialists worldwide.”
How it should feel “Calmer days. Fewer missed moments. The confidence to say yes to dinner, the drive home, the screen, the light-filled room.” “The confidence of offering something more than a tinted lens — a therapeutic option backed by peer-reviewed evidence and trusted by your peers.”
How the portfolio shows up Lead with the use case, not the SKU. Avulux for screens and indoor light. Adapt for inside & outside. Atlas for outdoor glare. Always Avulux. Wherever the day takes you. Present the three lenses as one clinical system with shared science and different use cases, so providers can match the right lens to the right patient day.
