Red light eye therapy

 I've done this for a long time now, when I read how it boosts the mitochondria in the eye.  Now, it is a major thing.  I was reading outside with my ebook, and the eyes started to get dry.  Before, they would go into a 'panic', with lots of pain, and having to stop reading and close my eyes for a while.  I would put drops in my eyes.

Now, I just zoom the 'Basement of Wonders' and shine red light into my eyes while I look at the news.  In a few minutes, good as new.

This is the Artie overview.

Eye red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive approach using specific wavelengths of red light to improve eye health, reduce inflammation, and protect retinal cells. Research suggests benefits for conditions like dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), dry eye syndrome, and slowing myopia progression by boosting mitochondrial function. While promising, further standardized research on safety and optimal dosing is needed, and the U.S. FDA has not yet approved this therapy for eye conditions. 

How it Works

• Mitochondrial Health: 

  Red light is believed to recharge mitochondria, the "powerhouses" of cells, improving their energy production. 
Cellular Protection: 
It may help protect delicate retinal cells from oxidative stress and damage. 
Improved Circulation: 
The therapy can increase blood flow to the eye tissues, aiding healing. 
Reduced Inflammation: 
Studies indicate that red light therapy can help reduce inflammation in the eyes, particularly in conditions like AMD. 

Potential Benefits

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): 
Early research suggests it may slow the progression of AMD by improving retinal cell function. 
Dry Eye Syndrome: 
It has been explored as a way to stimulate meibomian glands, which produce the oily layer of tears. 
Myopia (Nearsightedness): 
There is ongoing research into whether red light can help slow the progression of myopia. 
Glaucoma: 
Some studies suggest it may protect retinal cells in patients with glaucoma. 
Eye Injuries: 
Research indicates that red light therapy can help speed healing and reduce inflammation after eye injuries. 

Safety Considerations

UV-Free: 
The red light used is safe and does not contain harmful UV radiation. 
Wavelength: 
Specifically, wavelengths in the mid-600nm range, such as 670nm, have been studied for their effectiveness. 

This really works, you three old people who read me should do this.  Except the Spain Guy because he probably gets enough light with all that dust farming.  It's funny that no old person I talk to will do this.
