The granted patent
NeuroCalm FLX+ — Patent No. 587746
An optical lens with dual-band selective light attenuation (Application 202521094370), granted 27 April 2026 with all 10 claims allowed. A dual-band architecture — not an FL-41 derivative — that attenuates two tuned wavelength bands relevant to photophobic and circadian load while preserving photopic luminance and colour balance. Inventor: Suraj Dubey. Assignee: Sleepaxa Private Limited.
What Acieon studies
From the photon
to the circadian clock.
How specific wavelengths drive melanopsin phototransduction in ipRGCs — and how selective filtration protects the circadian system.
i.
Wavelength-Selective Filtration
Engineering precise filtration zones that target problematic wavelengths while preserving comfort-critical perception bands — the science behind every Sleepaxa lens.
ii.
Melanopsin & ipRGC Pathways
Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells contain melanopsin, which peaks near 480 nm and drives non-visual light responses including melatonin timing and photophobia.
iii.
Circadian Optics
The melatonin-suppression action spectrum peaks near 460 nm. Acieon engineers filters that attenuate evening wavelengths while preserving beneficial daytime light.
