Morning exposure to deep red light (significantly) improves declining eyesight

It appears some 670 nm red lights/flashlights are available from multiple sites.

Bkmrk.

Looking at the sunrise

[monkeyshine]

I can only find 660nm on Amazon ;-)

I would wait to see what the long term effects are.

[fruser1]

I love the look of long wavelength lasers in the morning.

Medical Express isn’t owned by a Chinese company that mmanufactures red-LED flashlights, is it?

[Little Pig]

I wonder what the wavelength of the light is that gets filtered through your eyelids if the sun hits them in the morning?

[Veggie Todd]

Roxanne!

[grame]

My thoughts exactly! Already had one this week here!

[Flick Lives]

Just three minutes of exposure to deep red light once a week, when delivered in the morning, can significantly improve declining eyesight, finds a pioneering new study by UCL researchers.

Red like a laser pointer?

[MHGinTN]

Excellent question!

[algore]

I assume this is good in the evening and really wee early hours too?

Asking for my friend Roxanne

[monkeyshine]

Yeah, but the article says 670nm ;-)

[monkeyshine]

Roxanne, red light, once a week, 3 minutes time. Sounds about right lol

[BeauBo]

There is a band of the red light spectrum around 670nm that has all kinds of therapeutic uses (like hair and skin improvement, and faster wound healing). Probably not coincidentally, it also happens to be the same bandwidth that induces flowering in greenhouse plants (like marijuana grow lights). So those kinds of grow lights can be used for those who want red light therapy.

There is also a deeper penetrating band in the Near IR, also widely studied for therapeutic effects (like muscle and joint recovery), that is also used for lighting for night vision surveillance cameras.

That was my first thought and I’m trying it.
