The glasses design is flawed
The glasses design is flawed. It's very uncomfortable and they use very brittle plastic. Also, for me personally, it doesn't do anything. I notice nothing of the claimed benefits. The science behind it is also shaky btw. Don't waste your time and money on this. There is no substitute for good habits. This "easy" tech fix won't solve your problem.

Dear Adriaan, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with AYO hasn't met your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. Firstly, we're sorry to hear that you found the design uncomfortable. We take product comfort and durability very seriously, and our glasses are made using high-quality materials designed to be both lightweight and functional. In addition to winning a Red Dot Award for Product Design and Quality, AYO has ben consistently praised as the most comfortable light therapy wearable on the market. That said, comfort can be a personal experience, and we’re constantly gathering user feedback to improve future designs. If you'd be open to it, we’d love to learn more about your experience and see how we can assist you further - sometimes small adjustments in wearing style or session timing can make a big difference. Regarding your concerns about the effectiveness: AYO is designed to support better sleep, energy levels, and circadian rhythm alignment through personalized light therapy, but results can vary depending on usage consistency, timing, and individual biological factors. We’d be happy to offer personal guidance tailored to your specific goals - whether it's overcoming jet lag, improving sleep, or boosting daytime alertness. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at [email protected] so we can help you get the most out of your AYO experience. On the topic of science, we’d like to reassure you that AYO’s technology is built upon well-established principles of chronobiology and light therapy. We’re proud to be involved in nearly 30 ongoing and completed research projects with leading universities and institutions, and we'd be more than happy to share details of these with you if you're interested. We absolutely agree that there’s no replacement for good habits. Our product is designed to support, not replace, those habits by helping you align your body’s rhythm more effectively. It’s not a magic fix, but for many users, it’s a powerful tool when used correctly and consistently, especially when the days are short and dark and access to daylight is limited. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We’re here to help and would appreciate the chance to turn your experience around. Kind regards, AYO team
