Red Light Therapy for Eyes, Better Vision | Dr. Janine

Red Light Therapy for Eyes | Dr. Janine

In this video, Dr. Janine discusses red light therapy for the eyes. She looks at new research that shows red light therapy in the morning can improve eyesight. She explains how this exposure can be a little as once a week. She talks about how researchers found a 17% improvement in color contrast vision. She looks at how it only takes 3 minutes of exposure to show improvement, which should be the red spectrum of light (670 nanometers). Lastly, Dr. Janine explains how the same test is done in the afternoon showed no improvement.

I've been using a red light therapy panel from Future Form Official in Norway for my eye health, recommended by my doctor. After a few weeks, I've noticed clearer vision and reduced eye strain. The panel is affordable and supported by numerous scientific studies. I'm grateful for all the shared info. It’s been really beneficial for my eyes!

I turned on red light device looked at red (660nm) and NIR (850nm) may a minute or two unintentionally for the first time ever. I felt my eyes were refreshed and eye balls moved much easier about few hours later. I didn't know at the time about this research and discovered the reason of these good effects afterwards. The images are a bit sharper, clearer as well. That's totally fascinating!

I have been using red light torch for last 8 months on my glaucoma affected eyes and my eye sight improved considerably. I hope to continue this three days a week with 3 minutes duration at 8.15 am on both eyes. I am recovering from glaucoma now and I am very grateful to these scientists invented the red light therapy.

I went through SO many videos to get my exact question answered! 🙄thanks! New Sub! 🎉

Why don't you explain how to do it... distance from the light... open or closed eyes? take notes from Dr. Andrew Huberman

[padgyth]

Interesting content on your channel thank you.
A study came out a while ago saying red light is good for improving eyesight and now you have mentioned it also. It reminds me of something I heard a while back that looking in the direction of the sun with eyes closed also helps with eyesight kind of how you mention here, obviously not when it is too intense. The interesting part about this is if you look in the direction of the sun with eyes closed, you see red. I am wondering what are your thoughts with this method versus pointing a flashlight at the eyes which seems unatural to me. I have not tried either method fully, but I refuse to wear glasses because I feel like once you start wearing glasses, the vision will need progressively stronger prescription.

Bought a red light therapy panel. Noticed some improvement in my night vision briefly while the light is on.

[reginamccarthy]

What is the name of the red light device you are using? Thank you

[olaelsheikha]

Where we can purchase the red light device?

[fiona]

Can you please share with us where we can purchase the red light device

[haiping]

also, dry eye issues greatly improved, noticebly.

The nms recommended is 670, time is 3 minutes, and the watts are 5 watts for eye use. The distance will determine the nms you’re trying to obtain, so I would guess on most devices it’s 10 to 12 inches. Also most devices have instructions for distances to obtain the nms you’d like to achieve. She said 670 nms, but again the distance will increase or decrease the NMs in most devices. Lastly eyes open, and a video I watched was an eye doctor and he said could use red light every other day. Sorry will have to find video.

I just used one ( a big one)and I swear my floater in right eye is GONE!!!

I wonder if you could clarify, if there are products that can be used safely on the market, and list them. As the panels used for the body, are extremely strong and thus dangerous to our eyes. Is the term wavelength and frequency the same meaning? What type of light bulbs are they? Red Lights, or Infrared Lights, and are they only LEDs. It's a wodnerful thing to try out, and I do not as again, want to "do my research" because I am not A DOCTOR.

[emptydog]

Thanks for the video. I will check them out. Anything I can do to help my eyesight.. I had a central vein occlusion in my left eye. . Oh, so what happens if you do this treatment more than once a week? Every day every other day? I have heard also that it’s OK in fact, healthy, to look at the sun in the first 45 minutes that it’s rising and setting,
There’s no UV at that point there is a whole school thoroughness what are yours?

[AmericanPatriots]

Since this helps with repair, could it help with dry eyes?

[RT]

Can u open yur eyes when using red light therapy?

[stuartwatkins]

Would this be good for Thygensons Didease?

[jeansroses]

I just started this morning for just one minute on my "redjuvinator" light panel, which I normally use for aches and pains. After the minute, I saw a red circle with another circle inside of that for about 10 minutes or so; it was a bit unnerving, cuz at first, that was all I could see. I haven't noticed anything else, but tomorrow I'll do another minute, and work my way up to three minutes

[fiona]

Oh do you close your eyes when using the red light? You did not say that. I had to rewind the video and watch you do it. So just to be sure, do you stare into the red light or close your eyes and expose it on your lid??
