Huberman Lab Clips(@HLPClips):The truth about red light therapy for your eyes: - Glenn Jeffries' lab: red or near-infrared light to the eye at about 2 feet for a couple of minutes a few times a week early in the day - Two published studies show offset of vision loss from macular degeneration in people over 40 - Mechanism: better-functioning mitochondria in photoreceptors and fewer reactive oxygen species - Dose brightness wavelength and timing are still open questions - Any light that is too bright can damage your eye - it should never be uncomfortably bright Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg on @hubermanlab
