Scientific evidence
Over 20 years of experimental research on the biological impact of light radiation on the human retina.
20+ years of research
The reality of toxic light
The human visual system evolved to interpret light reflected off objects — never to stare directly at an intense, close-range emission source.
Modern technology has broken that biological rule. We spend more than 8 hours a day exposed to direct LED radiation — with spikes in blue light (380–500 nm) and green light (500–590 nm) — creating an overexposure scenario our eyes were never designed for.
Unlike skin, the retina has no ability to regenerate. Cumulative damage from high-energy light is irreversible.
Devices comply with current regulations — but those regulations are outdated. They were designed for brief exposures, not the chronic, repetitive use that defines our digital reality. reticare® has been filling that protection gap for over 20 years.

The science is clear
The light damaging your retina
hurts nothing and warns no one
High-energy blue light (380–500 nm) and high-energy green light (500–590 nm) damage retinal cells in a cumulative, irreversible way. They affect neurons of the central nervous system. They cause no pain.

High-energy blue light
The highest-energy range emitted by your screens. Causes retinal photostress, oxidative stress, and photoreceptor cell death. Retinal damage is irreversible and produces no pain.

High-energy green light
It's also damaging your retina right now. For decades it was considered safe. UCM's in vivo and in vitro research proved that prolonged exposure causes real oxidative stress in the retina.

The science behind reticare® was born at the university
Dr. Celia Sánchez-Ramos, researcher at the Complutense University of Madrid, has spent more than two decades studying the impact of light radiation on the human retina.
Her research — validated in vivo and in vitro and published in internationally indexed scientific journals — is the foundation of all reticare® technology. This isn't an accessory. It's applied science with an international patent.

What the research proves
01
Blue light (380–500 nm) causes irreversible retinal damage
High-energy blue light triggers oxidative stress and cell death in photoreceptors. A finding confirmed in experimental studies with animal models and human donor cells.
02
Green light (500–590 nm) causes cumulative damage
Ignored for decades, high-energy green light damages the retina under prolonged exposure. The latest UCM research confirms it — reticare® is the only technology that filters both spectrums.
03
Cell protection is scientifically proven
Selective technology that absorbs high-energy spectrums increases cell survival rates. Protected photoreceptors activate survival mechanisms over programmed cell death pathways.
04
The protective effect holds up under continuous use
The preventive effect is stable under chronic exposure and real daily use. With reticare®, retinal damage associated with daily screen use is dramatically reduced — validated in vivo and in vitro.
20 years of research. One solution.
RetiNaut glasses are the direct result of this research. The only scientifically validated protection against blue and green light from screens.
Our reason for being
From scientific evidence
to real protection
reticare® was built to turn decades of scientific research into real-world solutions. We don't design accessories. We apply science.
01
Preventive protection, not cosmetic
Every product is designed under biomedical criteria validated in vivo and in vitro. Form follows function — always.
02
Science before marketing
The direct result of Dr. Celia Sánchez-Ramos' research at UCM. 20+ years of real evidence, not trends.
03
For everyone, from day one
600,000+ users protected across 30+ countries. From kids to professionals logging long hours in front of screens.
