The wavelength of red light used, duration of treatment, and energy exposure employed by Arunalight is considered safe for eyes. It is always best to consult with your eyecare provider prior to starting any new therapy including Arunalight’s redlight device. When using Arunalight correctly, which is 3 minutes every other day, it is generally considered safe for the eyes.

It is important to note that Arunalight’s redlight therapy device was developed by leading eye care physicians and uses a safe 670nm wavelength that is specifically designed for eye treatment. Although you will not harm your eyes if you open them while the device is turned on, it is still recommended that you keep your eyes closed while it is being used.

It is recommended that you use Arunalight every other day. Arunalight is preprogrammed to automatically turn off after 3 minutes of use.

Arunalight was designed by eye care specialists and internationally recognized photobiomodulation experts. The wavelength of light employed, the duration of treatment, the energy applied to the eye, and the design of the hardware, was meticulously calibrated specifically for optimal eye and surrounding skin health.

After using Arunalight for 3 minutes, you will experience a temporary blue/green vision bleaching effect. Blue and gray are the most commonly perceived when the eyes are closed and exposed to bright red light. This typically lasts for less than 5 minutes and you should see vivid colors again shortly thereafter.

Red light therapy is generally considered safe for most individuals when used properly but there are some minor contraindications and precautions to be aware of including:

1) Photosensitivity: Some people may have an increased sensitivity to bright light and this exposure may trigger a photosensitive reaction such as a light rash on the skin.

2) Medications: For some people, certain medications may increase sensitivity to bright light and could cause a photosensitive reaction such as a mild skin rash

If your eyecare provider has recommended you take eye vitamins, its very important that you still follow that regiment. Arunalight helps to improve blood flow to the anterior and posterior areas of your eyes which can help ensure that they receive a sufficient supply of nutrients and oxygen. This is essential for maintaining healthy eyes and optimal vision.

It is advisable to consult with your doctor, physiotherapist, or other healthcare provider before beginning any treatment plan with red light therapy.This is especially crucial if you are pregnant or undergoing other medical treatments.

Pressing the side ON button activates the mask and provides a single cycle of 3 minutes of red light at 670nm. It is recommended to use the mask every other day for this duration. However, it is important to note that while increasing the frequency of red light exposure is generally safe, excessive use may actually diminish the effectiveness of the treatment.

Arunalight’s scientific advisory board has been instrumental in photobiomodulation research for decades. In fact, most of the scientific literature on photobiomodulation have been published by our esteemed advisory board members. Their selection of the wavelength of light used as well as the time of treatment and radiance of light on the eye has been meticulously studied. This treatment is safe and effective. The 670 nm wavelength is believed to provide optimal eye protection, anterior to posterior. Longer wavelengths of light like Near Infrared (NIR) have not been studied and may have detrimental effects on the lens of the eye.

When it comes to eye safety, LED devices emitting light at 670 nm are generally
considered safer than laser devices emitting the same wavelength. This is due to
several factors:

1. **Collimation**: Lasers generate tightly focused beams of light, concentrating a significant amount of energy within a small area upon eye contact. This concentrated beam poses a risk of retinal damage. LEDs, however, emit light in a broader, less intense pattern, thereby lowering the potential for retinal harm.
 
2. **Coherence**: Laser light is coherent, indicating that its waves are aligned, resulting in higher energy density. In contrast, LED light lacks coherence, with waves that are out of sync, leading to lower energy density and decreased risk of tissue damage.
 
3. **Power Density**: Lasers can exhibit exceptionally high power densities (energy per unit area), potentially causing thermal and photochemical harm to eye tissues. LEDs, even in an array, generally maintain much lower power densities, rendering them safer for eye exposure.
 
4. **Blink Reflex**: Bright light exposure triggers the natural blink reflex, a crucial defense mechanism for the eyes. Lasers can be intense enough to delay the blink reflex, leaving eyes vulnerable to damage. LEDs, being less intense, are more likely to prompt the blink reflex swiftly, reducing exposure duration.
