Arunalight vs Eyepower Red

Arunalight vs Eyepower Red

Arunalight and Eyepower Red both utilize 670 nm red light, a wavelength specifically chosen for its potential benefits to retinal health and mitochondrial function.  However, key differences exist in their design and intended use:

·        Wavelength: Both devices emit light at 670 nm, aligning with scientific research on photobiomodulation for eye health.  This wavelength is believed to optimize energy production in retinal cells without harmful UV radiation.

·        Intensity and Dosage: Arunalight is purpose built for the ocular region with a pre-programmed 3-minute timer and is recommended for 3 minutes every other day, based on clinical research.  It delivers a controlled, calibrated dose per session of 8.1 J/cm² (45 mW/cm² × 180 s)  to ensure safety and efficacy. Eyepower Red also uses 670 nm and is also pre-programmed for 3 minutes.  It delivers a controlled, calibrated dose per session of 8.6 J/cm² (48 mW/cm² × 180 s)  to ensure safety and efficacy.

·        Design and Quality: Arunalight is developed by eye care specialists and has Health Canada and FDA Class II clearance, emphasizing its medical-grade status.  It features 26 strategically placed LEDs providing a wide ocular and peripheral coverage.  Eyepower Red was developed in collaboration with the Department of Ophthalmology at University College London. It features 6 centrally placed LEDs providing targeted ocular coverage.

·        Additional Features: Arunalight includes a travel case and charger, while Eyepower Red has a portable case and USB charging cable, it is simpler in design and often sold as a more affordable option. 

In summary, both devices use the same optimal wavelength (670 nm), but Arunalight offers higher clinical credibility, regulated dosage, and medical device approval, while Eyepower Red is a more budget-friendly option.
