eyecharger-
Device no longer available but Jeffrey tested it and it’s approved by him but for “longevity” kind of like rapamyacin
he quotes:
this time I am not aware of any such studies (the company claims it has been approved by the ethics committees of Moorfield's and UCL, and is not being commercialized marketed as a therapy, only as an anti-aging agent). Are there biological mechanisms that indicate that red light therapy is not safe, in adults and/or in children?

Safety of light generating devices depends on energy and wavelength. In general, longer wavelength devices are much safer at the same energy than short wavelength devices. I don't have a commercial relationship with the two companies (Eye-power and Eyecharger), but I tested their prototypes because it was important to me that there was something I knew was safe. Both products operate at energies and wavelengths for which I have received ethical approval from Moorfields Eye Hospital and also from University College London. This confirmed that they are well within safe range. However, they do not have a clinical safety seal. Obtaining this can be a lengthy process. I have told both companies that we would strongly disapprove of any attempt to claim that their devices are officially clinically approved, and I support this.

So this is why we no longer have the eye-charger available for purchase and it’s disappeared from the internet. Hopefully the photo modulation to be offered in the clinical setting will be efficacious and the doubts about its use expressed in the recent Jan 2025 Jama article will be resolved.
