Question:
Michele — I have a question about my eye mask that is not answered online, so I am reaching out to you.
I notice that no matter what mode I use the device in, it employs the same “M” pattern of steady LED lights which impact just the top and side orbits of the eyes and the bridge of the nose, not directly over the eyelids. That is the same for every mode, so the LED squares that WOULD impact the closed eyelids if lit never illuminate in ANY mode at all. It looks as though nothing changes from mode to mode, and appears to the naked eye as if the device is doing the same thing no matter what mode is selected.
1. Is my unit functioning correctly?
2. If yes, what is the purpose of having LED squares over the eyelids that never illuminate in any mode? And are there supposed to be perceivable differences between modes?
3. If no, what are my options?
Answer:
The Retyne Mask Central lights are “Invisible Infrared”; you may not see them lit up unless you use your phone camera, still it is faint, but you can see the light a little bit. (Human eyes can’t see this wavelength too clearly)
In order to test the Retyne Mask with existing equipment:
(1) Plug in Retyne Mask to controller with cable. Add the power cable and set the machine to 30 minutes on Low intensity
(2) Every minute the frequency changes, some frequencies are brighter, other frequencies are less bright.
(3) Observing this change in brightness advises the user that the frequencies are working correctly, and cycling through the program
I have been using (testing) the Retyne Mask, and I can vouch for the flicker of brightness as frequencies change up or down.
– Note on “observing brightness changes” for example on program:
Macular Degeneration Frequencies: 0.15, 0.18, 0.8, 5.5, 33.2, 172.3, 471.2, 557.82, 603.44, 921.88
0.15, 0.18, 0.8, 5.5 are very close numbers, so the brightness will only change slightly
33.2, 172.3, 471.2 are separated by hundreds of Khz, so the shift in frequency brightness becomes most apparent after the 5th frequency.
