Red light therapy goggles protect your eyes from bright red and near infrared LEDs during a session. There are two kinds: opaque eyecups that block everything, and tinted see-through glasses that cut red and near infrared light but let you see. Which one you need depends on what you are doing during the session.
This roundup scores six picks sold on Amazon on what each listing states. Listings were collected 4 October 2026.

Reading the numbers
Range should cover your device. Most home devices use red around 630 to 670nm and near infrared around 810 to 850nm, so a 600 to 900nm range covers them. Check your device’s listing.
Optical density (OD) is a log scale: OD1 lets through a tenth of the light, OD2 a hundredth, OD3 a thousandth. Only one listing here states it. A percentage reduction, such as 95 percent, is roughly OD1.3, much less blocking than OD3.
Near infrared is invisible. A lens can make a panel look dim while letting through much of its 850nm light. That is why a stated range and strength matter more than how dark the glasses look.
We read 20 listings. Four state a wavelength range, 8 state a warranty, 6 claim FDA compliance (those are tanning goggles, where FDA rules cover sunlamp eyewear), and none names a test standard for red or near infrared protection.
Opaque or see-through?
Lying under a panel or mat with nothing to look at, opaque eyecups are the simplest and block the most. If you need to see, for example to hold a handheld device or read the controls, use see-through glasses with a stated range and strength. With a face mask, follow the mask maker’s instructions, since goggles may not fit underneath.
Score notes
The Chill Score weighs performance 35, build 25, value 25, safety certifications 10 where it applies and warranty 5. Here, performance covers a stated wavelength range and a stated strength. No listing cites a test standard for red or near infrared, so all score zero for safety certifications.
| Product | Chill Score | Perf. /35 | Build /25 | Value /25 | Safety /10 | Warranty /5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dubofu OD3+ | 9.7 | 29 | 20 | 22 | n/a | 2 |
| FUIART 600-900nm | 9.6 | 28 | 19 | 22 | n/a | 2 |
| Super Sunnies Eyecups | 9.6 | 28 | 19 | 24 | n/a | 0 |
| ULTREMA 200-2000nm | 9.6 | 27 | 20 | 21 | n/a | 0 |
| Mito Red Light | 9.6 | 27 | 20 | 21 | n/a | 0 |
| Mito Red PRO IR5 | 9.5 | 29 | 20 | 19 | n/a | 0 |
Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Safety counts only for powered gear or where the listing states safety features; where it does not apply, the score is taken over the remaining 90 points.
Dubofu leads as the only listing with an optical density figure and named wavelengths, plus a warranty. FUIART states a range, a reduction figure and a warranty. Super Sunnies is the cheap, proven opaque option.
Who should not buy one
If your device came with goggles that state a range and strength, use those. Do not use any of these for laser work; laser eyewear must be rated for that laser’s wavelength and power to a recognized standard.
For devices, see full body red light panels, red light therapy masks and red light therapy mats. To understand wavelengths, read red light wavelengths explained.
Common questions
Do I need goggles for red light therapy?
Most device makers tell you not to look into the LEDs and to use eye protection, especially with bright panels. Follow your device’s manual.
Are sunglasses enough?
No. Sunglasses are built for daylight and UV, not for close-range red and near infrared LEDs.
Can I keep my eyes closed instead?
Eyelids let some red and near infrared light through. Goggles are the safer habit with bright devices.
