Here is my info and links about the red light therapy glasses.

Hello All, I have a family history of ARMD and want to do anything I can to control it if it's coming in the cards for me. I have been earnestly reading about red light therapy/ photobiomodulation for the past year. Fortunately, I discovered the research done by Dr. Glen Jeffery, a Researcher and Professor at University College London's Institute of Ophthalmology, and learned all about the science of how red light therapy benefits the retina and vision. It has to do with powering up our mitochondria and helping remove wastes from the retina. This is mainstream in the UK. The FDA did just approve RLT for the Retina on 11/4/24, (Valeda by LumiThera) and this has come to many US Retina practices. It is very costly, several thousand round of sessions which repeat x 3 or 4. People are driving hours and even staying at hotels to get this therapy. 

I purchased these eye power red glasses, which you use within a few hours of waking, for just 3 min, eyes open or closed, once or twice a week. The wavelength is 670 nm, red only, no infrared. Very comfortable and easy; less bright than a sunny day. Irradiance is 8 mW/cm2. This is the irradiance level found to be effective in Dr. Glen Jefferey's work. The Valeda machine in the doctor's office is 670nm at 65 mw/cm2 which is higher than needed. The Valeda also features infrared and amber, at irradiance levels found in natural sunlight. 

The glasses feel FAR less bright than a Red Light panel, and are very comfortable to use.  After just a few sessions I have noticed that my clarity is a bit better, I would say about 1/3 to 1/2 of a line on the Snellen eye chart (I have it), and my dark vision is at least 30% improved. This does not solve AMD and aging eyes, but might help slow it. I am so thankful to have come upon this research and these red light glasses. I have included links to Dr. Jeffery's talks and article, and a link to the eye power red glasses that I use. They are $113 USD after shipping with Royal Mail.
