Do I Need Eye Protection When Using RegenaLight?

No. RegenaLight has built-in eye guards specifically designed to protect your eyes during sessions. No additional eye protection is needed.


Can I keep my eyes open during a session?

Yes. The built-in eye guards are designed to allow you to use the mask with your eyes open. The LED lights are not lasers and do not emit UV radiation — they are entirely UV-free, which eliminates the primary concern associated with light therapy and eye safety.

That said, some customers find the lights bright when their eyes are open, particularly on certain wavelength settings. If you find the light uncomfortable or bright with eyes open, simply keep them closed during your session. Many customers prefer this anyway and use the time to relax.


What the manual says

The instruction manual advises caution around the eye area and recommends keeping eyes closed. This language exists as a general precaution rather than a strict safety requirement. The built-in eye guards are the actual protective mechanism — they are there precisely so the mask can be used safely whether your eyes are open or closed.


Bottom line

  • Built-in eye guards protect your eyes during sessions
  • No additional eyewear or protection needed
  • Eyes can be open or closed — both are fine
  • If you find the lights bright with eyes open, simply close them
  • The mask emits no UV light of any kind

If you wear contact lenses, there is no need to remove them before using the mask. The LED wavelengths used by RegenaLight are not harmful to contacts.
