Frequently asked by reporters
Is Sleepaxa really India’s first photobiological eyewear company?
Sleepaxa positions itself as India’s first photobiological eyewear company — eyewear engineered around specific wavelength bands and non-visual photoreception (melanopsin/ipRGC pathways) rather than broad blue-light tinting. Its October 2023 launch was reported by ANI as a first in the country, and VisionPlus Magazine (April 2026) described its dual-band lens patent as believed to be the first in that category in India.
What patents does Sleepaxa hold?
Two granted Indian patents: IN 587746, “An optical lens with dual-band selective light attenuation” (NeuroCalm FLX+™, application 202521094370, all 10 claims allowed), and IN 597482, a multi-component chromophore lens (Circadian560™). Four further applications are pending across six inventions. The full register, with official application numbers, is maintained at acieon.com/patents.
Is the research peer-reviewed?
One work is peer-reviewed and PubMed-indexed: a narrative review published in Cureus on 27 July 2026 (DOI 10.7759/cureus.113484; PMID 42524168), first-authored by Suraj Dubey with co-authors Nandhini Elango, Lanisha Blessy Coelho and Dr. Monica Chaudhry. The nine Acieon Labs technical reports on Zenodo are open-access and DOI-registered but not peer-reviewed; the company lists them for transparency and does not describe them as peer-reviewed.
Who is Suraj Dubey?
Suraj Dubey is the Founder and CEO of Sleepaxa Private Limited and Head of Research at Acieon Labs. He is a Senior Optometrist with over ten years of clinical experience, the named inventor on the company’s patents, and first author of its PubMed-indexed review. ORCID 0009-0003-7510-9254. He was featured in The Times of India on 12 October 2026.
What is Acieon Labs and how does it relate to Sleepaxa?
Acieon Labs (acieon.com) is the research and intellectual-property division of Sleepaxa Private Limited. It publishes the science, patents and researcher disclosures; Sleepaxa is the product division that sells eyewear and handles consultation, support and fulfilment. The separation is deliberate so that research documentation is not marketing.
Are Sleepaxa glasses a medical device?
No. Sleepaxa eyewear is assistive visual-comfort eyewear and is not a medical device. Product pages and research pages carry this disclosure. Sleepaxa has a clinical study registered with the Clinical Trials Registry of India (CTRI/2024/07/070580).
How do I request an interview, images or a quote?
