WEARING THE MASK IN HIGH INTENSITY MODE
Proper Usage Guidelines for Rétyne Treatments:
For optimal safety and effectiveness during Rétyne treatments, users should maintain an upright seated position at all times. Do not Recline or sleep while wearing the eye-attached mask. All treatments should commence at the “LOW” Intensity setting to allow for ocular adaptation, with initial session durations not exceeding 15 minutes during the first week of use. We recommend setting an external timer for shorter intervals rather than relying on the device’s default 30-minute cycle to facilitate gradual adjustment.
Technical Considerations of Rétyne Mask Operation:
The Rétyne Mask employs specialized frequency modulation and a proprietary pulsing technology that generates intermittent brightness flashes during operation. These intentional luminous variations serve both therapeutic and safety purposes: the pronounced flashes prevent accidental sleep onset during treatment while fluctuating brightness intensity is part of the therapeutic program. Users should be aware that these brightness surges may be particularly noticeable when using the “HIGH” intensity setting. Please refer below to the specific wearing instructions for both intensity modes to ensure proper device placement and treatment efficacy.
Guidelines for Using the “High” Intensity Setting on the Rétyne Controller (Brightest Output)
When operating the Rétyne Controller on the “High” setting, proper positioning of the Rétyne Mask is essential to ensure both safety and optimal performance. Follow these instructions carefully:
Comfort & Safety Considerations
In the HIGH setting; ensure the mask sits comfortably without applying pressure to the face. Keep eyes closed at all times, as the “High” setting delivers excessive light intensity.
Note: Improper use (e.g., overtightening or placing the mask too close to the face) will cause excessive heat and reduce effectiveness & cause discomfort. Always follow manufacturer recommendations for optimal results.

“HIGH Intensity MODE”: Mask Positioning
The mask should be worn loosely—do not tighten it against the face. Maintain a minimum 1-inch (2.5 cm) distance between the mask and the eyes to reduce heat
Secure Placement
Fasten the Velcro strap high across the back of the head for stability and allow the mask to rest gently on the bridge of the nose, positioned approximately 1 inch below the eye level.
WEARING THE MASK IN LOW INTENSITY MODE Proper Usage Guidelines for Rétyne Treatments:
For optimal therapeutic outcomes and safety during Rétyne treatment sessions, users must maintain an upright seated position throughout the entire duration of use. Do not Recline or sleep while wearing the eye-attached mask. We recommend initiating all treatment protocols at the “LOW” intensity setting to facilitate proper ocular adaptation, with initial sessions ideally limited to 15-30 minute intervals to allow for gradual physiological adjustment. This conservative approach enables users to safely evaluate individual tolerance before considering progression to higher intensity settings or extended treatment durations.
Guidelines for Using the “LOW” Intensity Setting on the Rétyne Controller
When selecting LOW-intensity setting on the Rétyne controller, proper mask positioning is important to ensure both therapeutic efficacy and user safety.
It is clinically important to note that excessive tightening or positioning the mask too close to the eye region may significantly diminish treatment effectiveness. The therapeutic light wavelengths require precise calibration and proper spatial distribution to achieve their intended therapeutic effects.
Maintaining an appropriate distance between the mask and eye surface ensures the variations of IR light bandwidths to properly penetrate and stimulate the targeted ocular structures without attenuation or scattering effects that might occur with improper placement.
LOW Intensity Mode
Proper Mask Position for Low Intensity Mode
When using the Rétyne Mask in LOW Intensity Mode, proper positioning is essential for both comfort and therapeutic effectiveness. The mask should be worn with gentle contact against the face, taking care not to tighten it excessively.
For optimal results, users may position the mask slightly away from the facial surface if preferred. Secure the device by fastening the Velcro strap horizontally across the back of the head, ensuring stable yet comfortable placement. The mask should maintain light contact with the face without applying pressure, allowing it to rest naturally during the treatment session.
