Let’s address the strain on our eyes as we are currently living in a screen-filled world. No wonder issues like dryness, blurry vision, and eye strain are becoming part of our everyday life.
Recently, red light therapy has gained attention for its potential benefits for eye problems, though we understand that using a red light device directly to your eyes is quite unconventional.
Rojo Light Therapy is here to bust the myths of your red light therapy device’s danger to your eye’s health. Is it really dangerous, or can it be a game-changer?
Here’s the good news - research has shown that as long as treatment is implemented properly, it is generally okay for our eyes. The proper distance from the eyes to the device is typically recommended to be around 8-10 inches, as suggested by experts. Exposure times can vary but are generally within 10-20 minutes per session, starting with shorter sessions and gradually increasing exposure time as tolerated.
Despite its potential benefits, caution is warranted. Users should avoid overexposure and consult with a healthcare provider before beginning any new treatment regimen, especially if they have pre-existing eye conditions or concerns.
With that said - a body of research does claim that it is safe, demonstrating their application to particular cases of eye conditions and their resulting effects.
In 2020, a report revealed that people aged more than 40 years had a 20% improvement in their vision after their treatment, and that a larger group of people younger recorded a 47% improvement in their vision after the treatment. The study was personally tried out every day for 14 days in a row, with the help of a 670-nanometer red light device.
In addition, another 2020 research paper reported that 50% of people gained 5 and 8 lines of improvement on standardised visual acuity tests, when it came to letter recognition following red light therapy.
Based on the study, the research lasted for about 6 months, and was repeated with similarly encouraging results.
Perhaps, one of the most recent studies about the benefit of using red light therapy involves its effect on early stages of dry age-related macular degeneration. Dry AMD is an eye condition that is commonly characterised by the deterioration of the macula- the central portion of retina which is responsible for sharp vision.
Based on those findings, in future clinical practice, people with macular degeneration may need to receive periodic re-treatments.
However, until enough research is done, it is important to keep in mind that anything that is excessive has the potential to be a risk to our health.
In conclusion, while red light therapy is said to improve our eye health, it is important for us to consult with an expert in eye care before starting any new treatment. A qualified healthcare practitioner can assess the situation individually, select the right form of treatment, and control the progress to make sure it has the best possible effects and safety.
